replacement

Hi folks I picked up a 2000-model A208 on the weekend, and the stereo (Audio 10 CD with Bose) is making a hell of a whining noise when the engine is on. Experience suggests that this is probably a duff earth somewhere, so I was wondering if there were any usual suspects to check? If it...

I've always found it fascinating how many cars I see for sale with 99,000 miles on and people's perceptions that think a car will drop to pieces once there are six figures on the clock. I've owned cars with over 400,000on and it's never really been a big thing for me, condition and history...

Hi all, I wondering whether anyone has an e class s211/w211 nearside xenon headlight you would like to sell me. Mine has cracked and I'm wondering whether anyone is local to Yorkshire who would have one available? Thanks in advance

Hi folks Checked the W211 out at the weekend as it's due an MOT next month. Few things wrong at the front, upper/lower ball joints, track control arm, and track rod ends (mixture of wobbly joints & burst gators). Went ahead today and replaced the offending parts, upper ball joints, control...

My clock decided to go backwards yesterday. Then putting it in reverse caused a few other warning lights to come on. Just been chatting to the garage about it. Cutting a long story short the only error code now is the "heater boost". Although there were many, many error codes showing that have...

The two small side pixels on the clk430 were both dead so I priced up having them replaced. I was quoted £180 by my indy, £60 if I took the car to akspeedo.com or £15 from akspeedo fir the bits to diy. They have the process on youtube so I thought I would give it a bash. Well I must say...

Hi. I am/have replaced the Command Head Unit in my 2005 SL350 and am installing an Alpine X800D-U connected to a JL HD900/5 Amplifier to run the OEM BOSE Speakers. All working so far EXCEPT I am not receiving an FM Signal at the head unit (the aerial connection from the head unit and up to the...

I'm told my exhaust has had it. This is a full, front to back, genuine MB item that I had installed around 9 - 10 years ago and it's covered about 60k mikes. Now, I've picked up a Remus back box and am looking for a centre box and front (downpipe) section to install with it. I'm not...

Hi there guys and girls if any. I'm looking for a new windscreen for my old lady since I just found a huge crack today in the middle of it (happened over night) I'm looking for a shop near Crewe or a 30 miles radius of it. I'll upload tomorrow some pictures of the damage since it's quite late now.

Hi All, I'm new to this forum, so hello. I've just bought a 2003 CLK Rag Top. The issue that I have is with the SAT NAV sometimes it says that it can't read the CD, I have ejected it and it does look scratched up a bit, I have seen other posts saying that the laser needs replacing in...

Good morning – I’m changing the diff in my W124 superturbodioesel from 3.27 to 2.87 and while I’m at it I’ll be replacing the driveshafts and inspecting the bearings in the rear hubs. Has anyone got any hint and tips? Cheers, Max

Hello, new to the forum so apologies if this has been covered before... I have a late 2011 E class convertible - the car is great but the audio system is pitiful...I'd like to know if there is a drop in replacement that will improve the volume (at the moment it's unbelievably quiet even at max...

I'm changing my front and rear pads on Saturday and coincidentally have just had the wear sensor warning message on the dash today. Is there only a wear sensor on the fronts and is there anything else I need to know, such as special measures to push back the pistons? Ta muchly! Sent from...

Hi I am a new member having recently bought a ML320 CDi (W164). All is good but the front left parking sensors do not work, hopefully someone can help!! The lights go on with the ignition but do not respond to close objects, the local dealer checked for faults and they show as working but...

Hi everyone, Can anyone tell me where to obtain a service/repair manual for a late 1977 W204 c220cdi sport (Manual transmission) with the optional AMG Alloys and a Brabus conversion? Failing that does anyone know th torque setting for the disc calliper mounting bolts and the disc bolts as I...

Does anyone know of anyone in the Leeds area that can replace the soft top on my 92 R129. I have tried reading the threads but all the places recommended seem to be quite a distance. Thanks in advance.

Hi. Does anybody have any experience with reverse parking sensors. Just had the wife's car diagnosed, have been informed that it needs two sensors replaced on the right hand rear, but the garage have quoted £135 + vat for each sensor plus fitting! eBay sell them for £10. Is it possible on the...

Anyone know where I can get some replacement hub caps at a reasonable price? The ones I need are the classic roadster design in blue. Also, is it normal for these to fail after only 3 years? One of the front ones is almost totally white now. Sent from my D5503 using Tapatalk

Advice needed! I've just returned from my local Mercedes garage who have carried out a diagnostic test on my 2011 CLS 350CDi and they have concluded that it needs a new replacement rear windscreen. I took it in as it has an intermittent fault with the radio as it has been losing all...

Mine's looking a bit shabby (been looking that way for a good old while TBH) so I decided to change it. AFAI can see on WIS they recommend taking the fan off & the shroud out. The problem is someone has had a go at the bolt holding the fan on & I can't get anything to work to take it our, can't...
