Hi Guys, I've recently bought a 2004 Viano I wouldn't normally buy such an early car but I wanted a LWB model (not an EXLong) and wanted one with less than 100k miles on the clock and I didn't want to spend INSANE amounts of money :) so this one ticked all of the boxes.. It does how ever...

Hi, I'm retrofitting an NTG2.5 to a 2007 w203 coupe and everything has gone fine so far, but I've no idea how to connect the factory mics to the head unit. I understand I need the re-routing cable (which I have purchased), but where am I re-routing from? Obviously one end goes into the...

Retrofitted folding mirrors to a W169 Classic this weekend with the help of a seasoned MB Mechanic. We fitted new folding mirrors (A1698101376 LHS and A1698101476 RHS). Hardest part was getting the old painted cover off the old mirrors to refit on the new folding mirror frames. Quite easy to...

Hi all, Further to a previous post about retrofitting an auto-dimming mirror on my CLS, it was suggested that all it would take was a simple swap of the mirror glass. It has been a bit more fiddly than that because the front edge of the mirror housing unit was not thick enough to accommodate...

... in an 04 SL65?

So there's my 04 SL65 and the Mrs's 'cute' 05 SLK 350. Thing is though, she's got 7 gears and I've only got 5 and even though it's not a competition (apparently!) it just doesn't seem right somehow, when I've got more horses and wider tyres, that there should be fewer gears between them...

So it's been a week and I've only gone and bloody reversed into a bollard! There's only a few chips, scuffs and a small bit of paint that's bubbled luckily. However this has given me an excuse to try and replace my pre-facelift rear bumper with a facelift one! From what I've read online...
