The front brake discs were changed on the last service, about 3

I've had this car for about 1.5 years, so I guess its time for
a few problems to start showing up. After all it is 32 years old.
The engine runs fine then, very suddenly, seems like its only hitting
on 4 cylenders. The problem lasts between 1 to 5 seconds and goes

While driving in the snow/ice yesterday the ASR malfunction light came on in
my wife's '95 E320.  What are the possible causes and are there any ways to

Saw that gud ole Heavy Carl, the local stealership, is advertising that
it has the new 2006 CLS in stock. Just what is that? Is it the new 2006
S Class, or is it some sort of expanded CL coupe? It is advertised as a
4 door coupe. Of course that begs the question of does it have the

Anyone have any ideas on how to obtain a lost key for a W115 240D?
Locksmiths in this area don't seem to be of much help.

Good news and bad news relating to my 1999 C Class heater switches.
I decided my heater blower was faulty because of the switch. When the car
was left overnight the blower wouldn't work. After pushing and pulling on
the switch a few time it would come on and work all day.  Yesterday ...

The lower front ball joint on one wheel has lost its rubber boot. The dang
thing still seems to be tight and I've been dosing it with lithium grease
every time it starts to squawk for over a year. These are amazing
automobiles.

Is it still the case that the little A Class cannot be brought into the USA?

I'm going to replace my '97 E320 with 38K miles and am trying to decide
between two M-B models; I'd keep the "winner" for about five years - the
