    W211 dash cam

    I bought a Nextbase 312G from Halfords. £99 now I also paid about £40 for a memory card and hardwired so it switches on and off with the ignition. It works just fine.

    Looking any info on a Mercedes 409 M 115 engine swap

    I've had a number of Sprinters including a 312 and a 412 and I would say the engines are really good and have plenty of power. Why not buy an accident damaged 312 and change the whole lot?
