My medications have just changed and I now have to take one of them at 8am, 2pm and 10pm - probably easy enough to remember when I'm home, but highly likely to forget at least one if I happen to be out somewhere. I was thinking that having a watch with three alarms set on a daily basis might be...

Having had the 'new' car serviced around a month ago, today I thought it'd be a good idea to check the oil level. Try as I might, I just can't find how to do it! I'd thought that it was checked from the OBC menu page that shows outside temperature, but the option for an oil level check isn't...

Although the data card for my 'new' E63 AMG doesn't mention a limited slip diff at all, the sticker in the attached pic clearly seems to show that one is fitted. I don't really doubt this for a moment, as the car does handle as if one is fitted. However, the translation of the sticker clearly...

These Brabus wheels were bought for use as my winter set, but they won't fit my new car, so are for sale. Genuine Brabus Monoblock V wheels in 17" x 8J ET30, shod with Falken Eurowiinter M&S tyres in 225/45 R17. The wheels were refurbed when I acquired them and shod with new tyres, since then...

Is there a member here who might be good enough to seek out a part number on EPC for me please? If so, I can PM the VIN to you. Many thanks!

Well, one anyway! I recently bought a nice E63 Estate from C&V Cars of Swavesey, near Cambridge. During my test drive, I didn't notice any undue brake vibration, though I noted that the front discs were in poor condition. Anyway, after collecting the car, I noticed pronounced vibration from...

Just wondering if anyone can suggest the best stuff to help restore the anodised black metal trim strips around the windows on my S211 E63? The roof rails also appear to be of the same material and haven't responded very well to the black trim restorers which seem to be designed for use on...

My 211 estate is now showing its age, so I'm planning to change it soon. Ideally, I'd buy a similar 212 estate and be done with it, but I can't get over the fact that the rear seats don't fold completely flat. IMO, it's not a real estate car if the load area isn't totally flat. (Others may...

I'm currently looking at buying an R Class and came across one that has the below pic of the dashboard - doesn't look right to me! Anyone else care to comment?

My 211 has a fluid leak from either the transmission oil cooler and/or the pipes going to it. Has anyone had these changed and what did it involve?

Planning to change my old and tired S211 estate later this year or early next and am feeling the need for something with a V8! I'm considering going to take a look at this car next week, but was just wondering if anyone either knows the car or has any comments about it. One of my main concerns...

We'll be moving to the Grantham area shortly and I'd be grateful to hear of any recommendations for a reliable MB indie in the area. I think there's one near Spalding, but I'd really prefer somewhere nearer if possible. Thanks

I just want to say a big thank you to Terry at Wayne Gates for pulling out the stops and getting my car back to me for the weekend, following a complete gearbox failure. Having to take the gearbox in and out twice because of faulty parts must have caused a few words to be said.:D Terry, you're...

The DVD drive/nav unit in the rear of my 211 has been playing up for a while now, despite me having stripped it down to clean the lens etc. A new one is out of the question on cost, but I have found a used one at a breakers for a reasonable sum. The only slight problem is that the one on offer...

https://careers.mercedes-amg-hpp.com/default.aspx Based in Northants, so quite handy for many, I should think. If I were of fewer years, I might think of applying for a 'test engineer' position. Good to see that they are also offering apprenticeships.

I need to remove the DVD drive/Navi processor unit from my car in order to be able to get into it to clean the laser lens assembly. I have it out of its rack and disconnected at the rear save for one blue coloured (Fakra?) connector which I think is the GPS aerial. For the life of me, I can't...

On Ebay - Linky If a forum member wants it, please PM me.

Need a generator for a while and was thinking about buying this one that's on offer from Lidl this week. Looks OK to me, but I'm not sure about those red sockets for the output - does anyone know what plug will fit?

Does anyone think this bike is likely to see the market? Looks really cool, but still would suffer most problems that a normal bike does, except bent or broken spokes. It does fold up nice and small though!

On Monday, the left front wheel bearing failed on my S211 at a most inconvenient time. Fortunately, the car was only going slowly and I managed to get it into a pub car park. Had ABS, ESP and service brake warnings as well! Called out the AA, but the man missed that the wheel bearing had failed...
