Welcome to Lofty's Homepage
This site was launched on the 20th January 2004 and as can be seen the Mercedes-Benz 'A' Class, W168 section has had in the region of 477671 visitors in that time.
It was started when having purchased my used Mercedes 'A' Class (W168) I suffered great difficulty in finding any information on the car. What I did manage to find was not complete or sufficiently detailed to guide me through the procedures that would be needed to undertake even the smallest of tasks even the manufacturers handbook appeared to miss out vital information. This was going to make things difficult as there also appeared to be few or no photographs or diagrams for that matter in the public domain, and although there is now a Haynes manual 12./2009 is is I'm informed not very comprehensive and is uninteresting in content and photographs Unlike it's predecessors.

Being interested in all things mechanical I have always serviced my own and family cars, not to be able to continue this interest would be like cutting off my right hand and I would finish up up with loads of useless tools and equipment, and so I set to and we have arrived at this web site, www.aclassinfo.co.uk. today known to many on the Web as "Lofty's Homepage"
There are a number of animations in the 'A' Class section which may not work if you have a firewall installed on your PC. I trust that you will find it interesting and detailed enough for your purposes, and that it also covers the subjects that you are interested in.
There are now masses of photographs, all relating to the Mercedes-Benz 'A' Class,W168 and over 80 sections of information relating to various components, procedures and parts of the 'A' Class
In addition you will find other sections about other hobbies and interests which you are of course welcome to visit.
Simply click on the subject of your choice.

There are sections on Our trips to Scotland, Home Wine Making, Orchids, and photographs of our trip to Canada & Alaska, as well as a NEW section on Solar Energy both Solar Thermal and Solar photovoltaic.
Automobiles and Wine don't go well together, although they are both worthwhile hobbies, saving you ££££££ as well as giving you great satisfaction.
The photographs of our trip to Canada & Scotland may just tip the scales in favour of you going, both wonderful Countries.
Oh and a page on my other love! ORCHIDS I hope you get as much pleasure looking at them as I do. Enjoy,
