A pigeon did a kamikaze dive into my front radiator on way to work this morning when I was cruising along at 60mph. Thankfully No damage to the car, but when I got to the office, 40 or so miles later, the remains - which looked like finely chopped mince meat plus feathers, was baked onto the...

I'm struggling to get one of the rear discs of my 2001 W203 (C270). I found the message I've quoted below in a thread from last year which I first thought would provide a solution, but I can't relate this guidance to my own vehicle. I'm unable to locate the shoe adjuster referred to. I've...

A couple of years ago I retrofitted illuminated door sills. Over time, they have become scratched mainly where I have got in and out of the car. They are quite light scratches, but very noticable in sunlight. Any ideas on the best way to remove these scratches? I think the sills are made from...
