What's causing my Mercedes battery to drain?
My 2004 Mercedes-Benz M 270 CDI is discharging the battery within two hours when parked up. It has a new battery, the sam units, alternator, interior overhead lighting, door sensors and dash clocks were all checked and none of these seem to be the problem. Have you any suggestions to what may be the cause of this?

What is the new system for imported cars' registration numbers?
Hello, first of all congrats on a great Irish car website. It seems that the system of registering a imported used car has changed since late last year. It is now easy to spot imported Dublin registered cars because the plate starts at 120,000 upwards. I cannot find any information on the Revenue website but I remember reading a newspaper article in early 2012 about it. What are the starting numbers for other counties especially Wicklow?
