Its is a w209 with the 722.6 gearbox. We have a fleet of vehicles and i do work on the commercial ones (sprinters) but i tend not to touch the others bar the E500 as id be at work forever. I will have a word with the current mechanic we are using as it sounds like a simple enough task if it just...

Probably not, very little service history. Spent the last few years in Majorca as a holiday car for the last owner. He did have an F12 so im hoping he did service it when needed. Just looking for a good mechanic to take a look at it. I only paid 4k for it so im not bothered about spending a bit...

Both, i like to let them warm up before asking it anything but it wouldn't change gear last time after a 2 mile trip to the autofactors. It needed to be restarted to put it into reverse i was in the middle of the road at the time, which as you can imagine wasn't such fun!

Hi, I bought a 2003 CLK 55 cabrio a few weeks before lockdown and have been having issues with the gearbox the odd day that i've got to use it. Its very clunky/jerky, almost like an elastic band and if pushed to hard wont change gear. Im aware this gearbox is pretty common and had similar...

Hi, Great forum, just purchased my 2nd C32 this time an estate which i was after first time around but just could not find one. Picked it uptoday and drove it home some 90 miles, car drove well and feels solid for a car with 160k on it, however i have noticed the power is not there always...

Im on it, since we had two kids one 11mnths and the other 3 yrs i've let my fitness level fall. Back in the day i wouldn't have broken a sweat even with a big shifter to hand. I have dash cam now too, if i had one at the time i wouldnt have reacted like i did. I would have emailed a copy to...

Regarding the information in the post, i told the police everything as it was except the bit about looking for their keys. But no vehicle theft took place, as the keys were not present.

The Police did attend, all of them i think? Im training to do a special job, i think this helped resolve the police problem. The other driver returned once the police turned up and it was obvious to all he wasn't on the Mensa roll.

I recently was involved in a road rage incident. A driver in a small van overtook me pulled in and anchored on, he did it 3 times in which i managed to avoid collision twice, as i was driving extremely carefully after the first attempt. However on the third time he tried it:mad: i completely...

Hi, Thanks for all the replies, i've sourced some at Eurocar Parts for £48 each inclusive, 334mm which i'm sure are the correct size. I've contacted the seller on Ebay and he has offered a full refund except i wont get my postage back for returning them. He still say's he is within his rights...

Hi Thanks for the reply's, i did pay via Paypal and have started a dispute. The mechanic didn't try to fit the discs as he said they wouldn't fit. I'm just sick of buying things from ebay that aren't right it happens so often. I've been quoted £250 for new discs and pads from the mechanic does...

Hi I'm quite new on here but have had a few MB's in the past, C32, C43 and a E430 in current use as our family estate. I recently bought some front discs for my C43 off Fleabay from a supposedly reputable seller who was selling these disc soley for a C43. I'd seen a few which claimed to fit...
