• Direct injection petrol engines - do they work? 4 Mar 2009 (Forum)
  More manufacturers are going the direct injection petrol route. VAG, Porsche, Mitsubishi, BMW, Mercedes Benz to name a few, with most of the others exploring the technology.

• twin motors wipers. Any feedback? 20 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  The Bosch system is already being fitted to the new Ford Galaxy, the Citroen C6 and the recently launched Mercedes-Benz S-Class." More info at http://www.bosch.co.uk/content/language2/html/3492_4530.htm Any feedback from users? it seems a good idea but I hope the the electronic controls are " robust" Having experienced a mechanical linkage failure ( in a thunderstorm) , a wiper arm fall off onto the bonnet, the motor burn out and finally smoke belch from the dash, the Bosch approach would avoid this risk.

• High-quality diesel estate 8 Mar 2002 (Forum)
  Apart from quality and comfort, his main concern is to find something suitable for towing his vintage boat. He was leaning towards a Mercedes-Benz E300 TD or the like, but has seen cautionary comments from HJ and others about the impact of towing on these vehicles, especially horse boxes. Further, there are the worries about quality problems in the first-generation new E-class (post-1996); as a W124 owner, I have been persuading him of the virtues of a well maintained older model.
