Wheels were off with no wheel bolts in! Previously I could get the car cruising in 5th gear on jackstands without it complaining? There is definite scraping/grinding noise :(

I think not... check the tyre sidewall and it should have markings for direction + inside/outside... The AA says the same: Directional & asymmetric tyres | AA Edit: beaten to it!

Following on from my thread a couple of years ago (http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/parts-maintenance-servicing/158153-w202-worth-rescuing.html)... After a 7-8 year lay up sitting on my parents driveway, my dad's w202 c200 had been in use regularly by my father-in-law for the past couple of years...

He's fine thanks. Can read a newspaper and watches the news at a normal distance so a big improvement :)

Hi, Am looking for a fuel pump for my old transit van. Reg AK04KVC. It's ECP part number 430590021 How much would that be? Many thanks.

Was in two minds as to whether to update this thread as it's been a year... but here it is anyway! UPDATE The car is being used as a daily driver by my father-in-law. He's had it for exactly a year and has been using it to pick up/take my daughter to nursery when my wife and I are at work. He...

D4D engines are prone to head gasket failure. My Lexus IS220d had a new engine at 72k miles. Toyota have an unofficial 112k mile or 7 year warranty on the D4D engines as a result. Apparently the engine design makes skimming the head impossible (although some people say they've managed it) and so...

Got a Nilfisk C110 and it's pretty good. Would definately recommend one :)

Saw someone in A&E a couple of weeks ago (I'm an A&E doctor). A Clio landed on his chest and abdomen. Was quite a weird story... he was fixing up the clio and needed a pipe for leverage. He was under the car supported by only a single trolley jack. He shouted to his mate to pass over a pipe and...

My dads old w202 c200 gets around 37mpg on the motorway based on the last 2k miles. I've not done very much town driving in it (father in law is driving it at the moment) so dunno how it does there. It feels about on par with my 2009 Lexus diesel which only gets around 35mpg combined. Overall...

They reached a decent price. A real bargain would be half that.

Could be fuel filter. Could be the something touching the fuel pump. Could be the fuel pump. Easiest thing to do is change the fuel filter and check there is nothing is touching. A genuine one only costs a few quid. See what happens, hopefully it'll do the trick. Else you can get a cheapo...

Seriously? The post can easily be understood. Picking at spelling and grammar when you know nothing about someone's background stinks IMO. Their post adds something to the discussion...

I had a similar situation in 2009 where I was unsure which of 3 drivers had been driving my car while i was away and nobody owned up to it. I just sent a letter back to that effect enclosing the ticket without anything filled in and asked for camera shots to help me identify a driver. They sent...

Both look good but black lasts better over the years IMO. Id have black.

All I see is the word BORKED? :(

I drive a Lexus and the wife has a Seat. Not hard to see why Lexus are top but tbh my experience of Seat dealers has been pretty decent and their prices are not extortionate. Alfa were the worst ive delt with by far... expensive and they act like theyre doing you a favor... I've only delt with 1...

You need a completely different mentality to drive like that. I can see the spaces etc but I'd always be wondering if someone was going to change lanes which could end up with a few dead people.

Do not try to jump the aux battery in the engine bay. Read this to find out how to power the car from the engine bay, open the boot and then charge the battery in the boot: http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/electronics/105376-urgent-help-w211-e240-completely-dead.html
