Car parts for less IS Euro car parts !

I would be very suspicious of this sale. Hong Kong and Japan both drive on the same side of the road as the UK so all native cars to these counties are RHD as standard but measure in kph. Only Spain in the countries mentioned are LHD. I would be very wary of a car nearly 30 years old and having...

Hi, I had a very similar issue which you describe on my VW Phaeton 3.0 V6 recently. The issue only manifests itself when the engine is cold and only on a cold restart. I was advised injectors and tried all mannerisms of cleaning, short from changing the injectors at £400 each! I decided that...

Ok so had a go at replacing the pedal this afternoon. Two plastic 13cm bolts removed and unclipped the plug. Fitting was reversal of this and all done in under 5 minutes! The rev counter used to jump at idle and now has stopped so assume tha there was something wrong with the old pedal...

Not an expert on cars but have experienced similar issues before - basically you get what you pay for, it's not the road that's the issue but the tyres themselves. Having driven for over 25 years I have tried pretty much every brand of tyre available including remoulds, part worns etc. and have...

Thanks Smart320 - that being the case then I'll blow off the dust on my toolkit tomorrow and give it a go ...

After only having the car for 6 weeks and it only having covered 29k from new with full MBSH and only driving it a handful of times, I am a little miffed to say the least:- Week 2 saw the EML come on and 'limp home mode' - suspected clogged DPF issue which disappeared after a can of snake...

Well, only gone and done it and am now a proud owner of a 2013 W212 E250cdi BueEfficiency Sport AMG Line and must say, it looks the biz. Only problem now is juggling the 3 cars on the drive ...

Word of warning for all you clostrophobe's out there - it 'aint stopping for nobody !

Did they not 'make' Chrysler 300 C's look like Bentley's a few years ago with a dubious looking grill conversion - in the same vein as the 'Ferrari bodykits' for Toyota MR2's in the eighties ?

Apparently 55mpg is possible?

Hi, I would do but need something a little more economical for the 80 mile round trip each day. I believe the 250cdi is a twin turbo job so not lacking in a little grunt?

Think I will but is there anything I need to be aware of/worried about? This will be my first Merc having owned a few Lexus's (or should that be Lexi?) and BMW 5 series as well as other Japanese Marques in the past ...

I actually prefer the pre-facelift - stick an AMG grill on it - lovely !
