    2009 C class sidelight upgrade

    Hi, LEDs are a bit haphazard for functioning and error messages in MB. I suggest you look at Polargs for a white light or go for a blue tint bulb. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    12V to female USB - safe to wire up?

    I have done this in my 2007 clk and had no problems. Mine runs a Bluetooth audio unit that plugs into the aux 3.5 jack in the glovebox, a hard wired iPhone powered cradle and a dashcam. I have an inline fuse and power switch between the 12v supply and the USB socket. All works fine for me Sent...

    Strange sound from interior heating/ventilation system

    Hi all, 2007 CLK280 A209 The heating and cooling system in my car is working fine, however, after a longer journey (over 30mins), the fan seems noisier and when I turn the car off (or turn the fan off) the sound stops around 10 seconds later with a further sound similar to a pressurised air...

    Lowering.

    The H&R springs are meant to give 40mm drop all round, but that's from Elegance trim. The Sport already has a significant drop, so the fronts on mine are about 8mm lower than a normal Sport. The back, with the extra weight of the hood & hydraulics, is actually nearer 20mm lower than normal...

    Lowering.

    You're not a fan of negative rake then? Lol. While I'm fine with it for now, funnily enough it was my intention to lift the back up slightly, I just haven't had chance to get it sorted. It's about 10mm too low at the rear for my eyes and this is probably due to same rear springs from H&R...

    Possible alternator/earth issue on a 2007 W209 M272 E30

    Hi all, I recently replaced the alternator with a refurbished unit and now I have an issue with the engine not ticking over smoothly when I have my lights on and certain lights are flickering - interior and rear lamp clusters. Is this a faulty alternator or maybe just a badly connected earth...

    Vibration When Braking

    Have you tried getting the wheels balanced? The car wash may have knocked the weights off the wheel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Grinding from wheels?

    Jack each corner and spin the wheel to see if one of them has more resistance or you can hear it grind. It sounds like a wheel bearing but on a 62 plate is a bit of a surprise. Is it a high mileage car? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
