    Spa fourchamps BWK failure M113K

    Are you using a decent quality bearing to replace them? Have a chat with the guys at Redhill bearings about the bearing you are using and the problem you are having. They are very knowledgable and might have a stronger solution for you.

    Spa fourchamps BWK failure M113K

    Looks like a bit of bad luck. Lucky it was nearly home and didn't spoil the trip. Lovely circuit, Spa. My favourite of all.

    High mileage c32

    Looks nice does that. Script on the front wing a little high, but I am a miserable git ;)

    Bosch Brakes

    You are quite right, and it is disappointing that Mercedes supply effectively two left hand discs. They do not offer a right handed version. For those who don't appreciate, the venting vanes inside the disc draw air up from the centre and out the outer edge to cool the disc. Except it won't if...

    Bosch Brakes

    Bosch have recently started putting Chinese made stuff in their boxes. Some of the oil filters are horrible. I fitted one to my work hack toyota corolla. The drain back valve was faulty and took seven seconds to extinguish the oil light every time you started the engine. Swapped back to a Mahle...

    MOT Retests

    I don't know if I'd agree with you there Bobby. I would be open, show them the failure from the previous garage. Two things could happen if you don't... 1. They fully test the car and fail it on something else entirely, creating a whole load of further discomfort, and probably another ten...

    y27/9 egr fault

    Do check your fuses. The egr valve and the turbo positioner share the same supply, also with the swirl flap motor if memory serves. Not certain it's that, but a cheap and easy first check.

    The buying used minefield

    You have to keep your eyes open these days. I do a lot of prep for a car dealer on our industrial estate. He buys a lot of Mercedes from auction, all stuff coming off PCP and similar deals via the dealer network. We recently prepped a 2015 C220cdi, which had heavier than expected wear to the...

    I need another track car, M3.

    Thanks. Personally I favour them on the sill and tunnel. Risk of crushing the sides of the seat in maybe as you have them now.

    I need another track car, M3.

    I see the shoulder straps, that's all pukka. The lap straps I'm asking about. They look to disappear under the back of the seat somewhere?

    I need another track car, M3.

    Interested in where you have clipped the harness lap straps to. Looks unconventional?

    Post a single Car based pub fact

    Ferrari's "Berlinetta Boxer" was in fact a 180 degree vee twelve, and not a boxer engine at all.

    W163 ML 500 | Cracked block?

    Well that's my theory out the window then! Your vac hose looks like it's the egr valve system. On the back of the right hand head.

    W163 ML 500 | Cracked block?

    Does this car have an LPG system fitted by any chance?

    C43 fan hoping to contact a previous owner

    Well, the silver estate isn't my old one. I had all black seats and the monoblock wheels. Nice cars though!!

    High previous owners in AMG cars

    Buy on condition. I bought a 2007 SLK55 AMG which had nine owners, I was the tenth. I was very happy with the car, and the number of owners didn't put me off. Continental tyres, MO, matching the build ticket. Excellent all round condition, and didn't give me a single problem during my ownership...

    Star diagnostics - West Sussex - worthing

    I do, and I do. Although I must admit I haven't changed one from kilometres to miles before, if it is even possible. I have converted quite a few W202 C Classes from Japan, but that involved new instrument clusters as they couldn't be changed by coding. Happy to have a look though!
