My reason for choosing used parts is down to the manufacturing method of the arm & subsequent cost...

    W209 CLK Drilled Discs

    I bought 4 Mtec discs when I had my 2003 CLK500, fitted them myself & they were better than the standard discs, I would/will happily buy from them again.

    2002 R230 Wobbly suspension

    Hi All. Wonder if anyone can help me on this one. My SL500 (on 90k miles) has started to feel a bit vague & wobbly, it's not terrible but just doesn't feel like it should.

    Sprintbooster. Is it any good ?

    I have a R230 SL500, the engine & drive is lovely but I do think it could have a bit better throttle response. The Sprintbooster product has been suggested as fitting the bill but I have had a negative review. Any thoughts ? good or bad. Cheers. Goody.
