Hi guys. So the left headlight lens cracked. PHOTOS I found this replacement lens and messaged the seller, be he replied in broken english that it will not fit. I think it will, cause it looks the same. What do you think? 2nd option is to replace the whole headlight unit, but would rather change...

A little update: After all I decided to go the respray route and emailed quite a few places with the highest quote being £2300 :eek: I also visited a few places and got some sensible quotes: Auto400 - £400 for the entire bonnet + respray one of my handles & touchup a little dent on the lower...

I am due my B service and going to Mercedes-Benz Online Service Booking Application to get a quote provides some very different prices depending on the location. Most in and around London locations = £453.36 Drive to Stratford Upon Avon = £269.22 There are other prices in between too. Surely...

I was thinking the same. Use some masking tape very precisely and then spray over it with white primer and work from there. The area is quite small, each chips is smaller than the surface area of a peppercorn. Yes indeed it is really small. Here is another picture:

Do you mind sharing what a person with the requisite skills would most likely attempt? I just want to know what would be the best way to mask it without an actual respray. I would appreciate if you ignore my lack of skills. Thank you.

I will not respray it. Too expensive. I fully realize that I cannot achieve a factory paint finish at this point without a respray. I am just looking for the best technique to hide that spot as best as it can be hidden. I know it would still be visible, just looking to salvage the situation. I...

So I have this cluster of 4 stone chips on the bonnet, which I am trying to hide. The paint is called diamond white and it's pearlescent, but it is sort of semi transparent and the chips can still be seen through it. I tried with a filler to hide them first, but after sanding it down to the...

I managed to very slowly bump into a stone pot and this is the result: Imgur: The magic of the Internet It is the size of my index finger nail, but it seems it is down to the metal. Would you reckon this is easy to fix and how much would it cost? Too technical to do it myself? And while on the...

At the end I bought this https://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/p/car-parts/car-electrics-and-car-lighting/electrical/car-battery/?445770060&&cc5_989 for £41 Free same day delivery too. Just swapped batteries and it cured the problem. Only difference is the new battery had no hole to plug the...

Thank you for that link. I found another one: Powerline Battery YTX14-BS 51014 12V 12AH 200A Honda Xrv 750 Africa Twin RD07 93 | eBay It looks like the exact same battery: same Voltage, Amperage and Ah. Same shape and size and terminals holes.

Is there a website that sells genuine mercedes parts, particularly this battery. I can't seem to find a brand new and genuine one anywhere online. Do dealerships sell parts? Cheers

So for £100 I get a battery fitted with 2 years warranty or for £10 I get a replacement battery and fit it myself. Unless fitting involves more than just swapping the battery over?

I would if there was any benefit to it, but after some research it looks that is not the case. This battery seems to fall in the consumables category and even the guy from the dealership told me it is expected to last around 3 years. Probably an over exaggerated example but if my TV remote's...

Just my luck. 1 week later I get Auxiliary Battery malfunction. Now I did my research and I know the battery is in the trunk. Called the same dealership who quoted me roughly £400 - £100 for the battery and £300 for close to 2 hours labour for some checks. After speaking with Mercedes...
