Hi, I just realised the MOT has expired on my car. I'm not using it and can't take it for an MOT for at least a couple of weeks. The car is taxed and insured and parked offroad but do I need to sorn it as the MOT has expired? According to DVLA, the rules for sorn appear to be: "You must make...

My 190E has original AMG dampers. They're working fine but are now starting to look a little scruffy. Is there anyone who will rebuild and finish them? I've seen a place online that will do Koni but I think these were made by Boge? Anyone?

My car was at the dealers for something else today and I asked them to check the sub-frame. They called to say it was ready and I asked how the sub-frame was. The lady I spoke to went away to check and came back to say "nothing was noted". Am I the only one who thinks this isn't acceptable? As I...

My C350 cdi has a small leak in the high pressure line between the pump and rack. I ordered a new part a week and a half ago but, despite promises, no update on delivery so I called the dealer today. They said it would be leaving Germany sometime in February next year! Is that normal these...

I'm looking for a trusted place to remove the sub-frame for powder coating and refurb/replace worn and corroded arms, seals and bushings on my W201. I'm in the NW of England, can anyone recommend a good place for this, ideally in this area but I'll travel for the right place?

Is this something that could be retrofitted into my S204?

Does anybody have a user manual for one of these and could email me a copy please? Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

When I recently got my S204, I was let to understand, from VIN decoders, that it had heated seats. But I can see no buttons for this. Do the decoders fire out wrong information or does my car have hidden controls :confused:

Does anyone know any detail on this sunroof recall that's in the news just now? Does this affect pano roofs? Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

I've just had the oil cooler (and other) seals replaced on my C350 CDI by an independent. Should this work be stored in the car's digital service history or does it just store basic service history?

My S204 has a reversing camera but it doesn't display any lines representing the outline of the car. Is that something that can be added with a software update or would hardware need to be changed?

I just picked up a 2011 C350 Estate today and, bizarrely, it has no load cover for the back. There are lots for sale on Ebay but with various part numbers. Can anyone tell me how I check which one I need please? And do these just clip in or are they bolted in position? Sent from my SM-G960F...

I'm looking at a C350 CDI and it seems like it will be ideal, except that most of my driving is in town and short journeys. I've heard that's not good for the EGR and that it clogs up or something. Is that a serious concern or does it just involve me in fortnightly motorway blasts and/or...

My central locking vacuum pump is shot and I need a replacement. I see lots for sale, all with different part numbers. Can anyone tell me what part number I need from my reg no or vin please? Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Does anyone know what the anthracite/black fabric code is for Sportline models please? Mine is a W201 but I imagine the W124 is the same. I don't need the check fabric, which I understand is Karo, just the plain coloured herringbone fabric at the sides, bolsters, etc. I've been told it is...

I sustained some damage to my bumper yesterday, as I explained in another post. The bumper is some kind of plastic and the damage is a crack or split. I'm thinking the split will need to be glued and the reverse side strengthened with matting. The main surface would then be filled and painted...

Anyone attending Benz on the Green on Saturday want a room on the Friday? I've had to cancel my plans but can't cancel the room. Booking now would cost £60.50 - I'll take £35.

The engine needs work and I doubt the body kit will have many fans but it's cheap so far. What is the kit anyway? Reiger or something? MERCEDES COSWORTH 190E 2.3 16 for Restoration | eBay Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

The front passenger window in my S124 randomly opens, when the car is running (fine when switched off). On some journeys, it will only open once but, on others, it will open umpteen times. On a warm day, I'll just leave it open otherwise I'll have to repeatedly reach for the close button...
