When we did Paul's (JpsKiller) 3ltr Head Gasket we decided to do a howto. Its rather long so please be patient. I won't be able to complete the thread in one go as there are 40+ pictures and descriptions to go though. In the beginning take one 3 ltr engine and notice the oil sprouting from just...

Has anyone here purchased and used one of these 12v impact wrenches and are they worth it ? Seems like a good gadget but then, how often would you use it ? http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/products/products/217677/impact_wrench_test.html

Do you know where I can get a 12v cable (like from the back of the cigarettes ligher but easier to connect) that will allow me to transport the cable into the armrest? I have many electrical things inside there so I need to power them while moving. Hope you can help me.

I have a spare engine and box almost ready to run up but i can't find a wiring diagram for the stop solenoid in order to power it up. The wire colours are; Red with Blue line. Brown with Blue line. Anybody able to shine some light on the problem ? Cheers Ian

I am wanting to fit a 12v power socket to the rear of the centre console in my W210 for the my nippers DVD / Games etc. Does anyone know if the stealers supply the socket with a flip up cover on it, and if so the part number & cost? If they don't could anyone suggest a supplier. Thanks for...

Hi All, Now that I have fitted a 12v socket in the boot of my 210 (still can't believe there wasn't one to start with!!), I can run my 12v cooler, and am very happy again.:) I want to get a converter so I can run the cooler inside to 'pre-chill' it. No problem so far; £20-odd will get...

Hello, could someone tell me if the 12Valve engine ever had a full ECU and injection system? The reason i ask is some of you would have seen my thread on me broken engine :( and I have priced up the new parts, and a replacment head. But it seems just as cheap to buy a whole engine off ebay i...

I bought one of those in car Ionisers the other day that plugs into the 12v socket / filthy fag lighter (appologies to the smokers) All is well until night time, when I switch the car lights on (side lights or headlights) when power to the 12v socket goes off. Weird. I understand the basics of...

Hi folks, I'm full of questions today! Hopefully you Electronics Geniuses will be able to help (this car is a far cry from the Mk-II escort which was the last car I played with the electrics on!). W210 E320 CDI Elegance, used to have a Hands-Free phone kit fitted for some wierd Sagem...

The 12V power supply point in the boot of my C180 estate (W203) is not working. The closest thing on the fuse diagram seemed to be fuse 47 (cigar lighter / glovebox light) and on checking those weren't working either (I hadn't noticed). So I replaced fuse 47 (and yes, the old one was...

I'm looking to install my Road Angel in the empty space below the radio. It fits fine but I want to hard wire it rather than use the cigar lighter. Can any one tell me the easiest place to pick up 12V when the ignition is on ?........ If you're going to tell me it's the base of the cigar...

It is white, 1990, full leather/air con, no traction control and no cruise. Everything else including the fantastic electric seats and light grey interior which I liked a lot. Few stone chips that's about it. VERY smooth, more smooth and quieter than the 24v I tested before. I don't think...
