    Merc 2001 E320 CDI, Please read see if you can get your head around this Issue?

    Had similar problems to this on a car years ago. Eventually fault was traced to fuel filler cap. Have you tried running it without?...or one of those cheap emergency ones. Fault I had was breather hose/anti/spill mechanism in fuel cap was creating vacuum in tank, hence fine when cold, and short...

    Benz On The Green 2018 @ GOODWOOD. Your thoughts?

    I am certainly up for Goodwood. Would be nice to have the extra space, so more Mercs, old and new, can all feel welcome. I like to look at the older, less well looked after ones as well, as it shows the differences of care and maintenance, intergalactic mileage etc I believe this can enhance...

    As its not too far from me, and nothing much else on tonight, I may just have a mosy on down for this. Any excuse to go for a drive just for the hell of it is a good thing for a bank holiday sunday evening? Neil

    500SEC...a persuasive and rational advert

    If I saw it at the side of the road, I would think somebody has nicked the engine.....that, or maybe the back suspension has collapsed, but seems more that the front is far too high? Neil

    Big End Bearing Replacement SLK 320

    If it is like mine, it only sounds like big end knock on start up for couple of seconds? If so, mine was diagnosed as engine mounts, which is a common problem. Neil

    ml320 gear box issues...

    I had/have a similar issue. Code reader said "unexpected accelerator travel" or similar. Been told it could be a scratchy potentiometer. Since I have booted it a lot more since first buying it, fault has gone away. Suspect previous owner drove like an old granddad, and never floored it? You...

    MOT Retests

    I was always told that if the MOT says 25-4 then it is valid until then. If you book it in early, to allow time to get work done before it runs out, that is fine. If you put it in now, and it passes, the MOT can legally be post-dated for a year from 25-4 thereby gaining up to 13 months of MOT...

    Just a quick hello

    When one of my jobs years ago was relocated, and travel was impossible daily, I was advised I could claim under something called T.U.P.E I seem to recall. I was successful, and it was barely contested. Still did not make up for losing a job I enjoyed, and having to look for something else etc...

    "Buying a new M-B" sticky?

    At first glance, I assumed this thread to be regarding how to buy an MB club sticker? Maybe others thought the same, and did not open it? Neil

    W209 CLK lowered

    I nearly bought those springs. Glad I did not, as mine is already lower, I think, as supplied from factory, with Sports suspension. Getting new springs for mine seems difficult. I need to look at the coloured dots? (according to Merc dealer in Brighton) and they say I can only fit Merc ones. Neil
