    W123 engine and gearbox work m110 Newport Wales

    Evening all My painter in Newport has just removed a M110 280e engine and gearbox from a W123. Rather than transporting it back to my guy in Uxbridge, I was wondering if there were any recommendations from the forum for independents around the Newport area? Before anyone says Mark Kosovich...

    190e door card repair

    Thanks for the advice. These are vinyls for a leather interior, and it's the only thing that's let the car down. I'll try the breakers and what I can find.

    W201 battery running flat

    SOLVED! Jumped the car again, and had a good look round for the really obvious. As per message from a forum member, I checked the boot light, which was shorted on. Ordered new switch today and will fit next week.

    W201 battery running flat

    Morning all My trusty 190 has developed an interesting problem that I'm having trouble with. On Saturday I found that the battery was flat as a pancake. Gave it a jump start and drove it around all day. No issues, and then on the Monday the same thing happened! Looked around for things left...

    C124 exhaust

    Nope it's fitted correctly and has been checked over. It is as it should be My mechanic puts it down to the fact that I'm never happy! I've been driving it around for nearly a week now, and it has gotten a lot quieter. In fact, it's not as noisy as my R129 SL320.

    C124 exhaust

    Sorry for the silence. Work has kept me busy. I first made contact with MIJ in Walsall, for a custom made exhaust and was quoted a very reasonable £450 + VAT, but I to take the car to them. My work unfortunately cannot allow this at the minute, so I stored this one up in my back pocket. Did...
