of under-inflated tyres. Tyre manufactures estimate that around three-quarters of all accidents are caused by blow-outs as a direct result of incorrect tyre pressures. An RAC survey reveals that more than two


million UK motorists never check their tyre pressures and that only 7% check them just once a year. . Under-inflated tyres result in poor steering,


braking, cornering and reduced grip. A car wth tyres that are 20% under- inflated uses 12% more fuel and wears out around 30% earlier than a tyre with the correct pressure. • The RAC lays the blame at laziness, lack of awareness and the closure of thousands of service stations in the last decade.

A study revealed that, although seven out of 10 driv­ ers know exactly what they should keep in the car, only four of them actually carry it.. Surprisingly, one of the most common items carried in vehicles is a pair of knickers. -Top of the glove box charts were: . Spare undies, tapes (circa 1984), ketchup


and mayo’, perfume, deodorant, receipts, old sock and - wait for it ...gloves. •

Frugal fun with a diesel destined for greatness


by Jonathan Crouch


A S you would expect from a yiA . company th a t virtually


JL ^invented the diesel-engined saloon back in the ’30s, Mercedes knows a thing or two about making


■ cars for this sector of the market. ■ Having allowed neighbours BMW a brief period as diesel-meisters over the last decade, Stuttgart wants market leadership back. And with the latest E320 CDI, it


could well have the car to do it. This is one of the latest generation


of common rail diesels which, in six- cylinder form, arguably make more sense than their petrol counterparts.


•V The straight-six direct injection unit deveiops a healthy 224 b.h.p., enough to propel it to 60 in just 6.8 seconds on the way toT55 m.p.h. Just as quick, in other words, as an E350 V6, a petrol-fuelled E-Class which, unaccountably, costs more. Asking prices for the E320 CD T


start at £36,245 (or £38,045 for the estate version), nearly £4,000 more than the 190 b.h.p. E280 CDI vari­ ant which marks the next step down in diesel-powered E-Class ownership. On the road, however, this CDI


sweeps all before it, thanks to an amazing 510Nm of torque. This


Hillendale


explosion of power means th a t almost instant acceleration is avail­ able in almost any gear, from as lit­ tle as 1,600 r.p.m. At this point, the standard auto­


matic gearbox simply changes up and you are catapulted towards the horizon once more. Thanks to common rail, it is quiet


and frugal, too (you should average over 35 m.p.g. in normal use). This is thanks to a system where fuel is pre­ cisely bled off from a highly-pres­ surised reservoir commonly shared by every injector along the feedpipe or rail. Exactly the correct amount of


diesel is injected when required: not too much (hence the lack of the


usual puff of black smoke of acceler­ ation), but just enough to enable the car to respond to your slightest throttle feather. The result of all th a t pulling


power is tha t owners used to big petrol V6s will find the E320 CDI to be a smoother drive, mainly because the revised automatic gearbox has to do less shifting up and down. If you. miss all that cog-swapping, you can


, drive it manually by tapping the selector to the left to downshift and to the right to change up, watching your gear selection via a digital indi­ cator in the instrument cluster. ■ This 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine is


part of the third generation of com­ mon-rail direct injection systems

from Mercedes and aims to excel with improved efficiency, smoother power delivery and reduced con­ sumption, exhaust emissions and combustion noise. Light weight is also a key feature


- this is the world’s first all allby diesel engine in its class, totalling only 208 kg.,


__ The Estate’s total carrying capac­


ity with all seats in place is 650 litres, while the payload is a useful 575kg.


: - Overall, the E320 CDI certainly


offers every encouragement to press on, a diesel you can really claim tc have bought for the sheer joy ol driving. Whoever would haye thought it?
