    17" wheels and tyres for my w168

    Hi guys, keeping it short and sweet. I'm not looking for anything perfect, just straight and buckle free wheels and tyres for my a class. I'm happy to refurbish them if need be. I live in the Manchester area and can collect from say as far as 50 to 70 miles. I have a budget of £150 but...

    Can you recommend a Sun Gun?

    From the voice of experience...buy a simple cree torch and that will show you everything you need to see. I bought a Laser branded one years ago and still use it to this day with perfect results. Cost me about £20. You simply don't need anything else to get the job done

    W140 S500 beginning to detail.

    Looks great :thumb: I've always loved those S class models Machining paint takes time, but if you work one panel at a time, over a few days the whole car gets done without taking over your life :D

    W168 ride height...

    Folks I have a 99 A140 elegance which sits too high on the front. The arch gap is way bigger than on brochure pictures of the elegance models...What could the issue be? Did they have different ride height springs for w168's?

    Cleaning Alloys

    Hi Brian, reading this thread...if you didn't want to go the full hog of taking your wheels off and cleaning them, if you have a good wheel brush (cone type that goes in between spokes) and a non acid based cleaner then you can keep your wheels at a "9" in effect. A further tip is to spray your...

    I had the Vito cleaned and polished!

    Looks great Nice colour too. I like the fact it's a plain van, non colour coded bumpers etc, not many people invest the time and money to keep them looking great. I prefer super tidy everyday vehicles over flash motors...you can appreciate the work that's gone into it

    Changing struts on a W168

    Interesting as mine knocks on the osf. Sounds like a job ill tackle I think... The top mount is likely shot, as the subframe was so rotten on that front corner that the wishbone wasn't even attached at the front! No doubt the whole suspension assembly on that side had been working...

    Brabus C class

    Thanks for the kind words To answer questions....regards white cars....(and I've had a few); they have no special needs per say. Paint is paint so it corrects the same. As you'll know though, white, like black and dark blue, shows up dirt really quickly but that's not a problem...just gives...

    Changing struts on a W168

    Hi guys, Just a quick question....for anyone who has changed struts on a w168 a class, does the wheel alignment need re setting afterwards? From what I can see its the two small bolts on the top mount, and the two big bolts at the bottom of the leg.....which dont seems to have any room...
