    S500 W222 low dust / ceramic brake pads

    Many thanks Noogieman, I did get in contact with them and the part for my car is: AP1688 R4-S However, they are quite pricey and delivery was in January so I decided to give the Ferodo Eco Friction a try as my MOT is due soon (thanks again Gazwould). Ordered the FDB4800 with the sensors from...

    S500 W222 low dust / ceramic brake pads

    Thanks noogieman and Gazwould! Couldn't find my car on the website for Porterfields but sent them an email. Looking into the Ferodo Premier Eco Friction (FDB4800 for the fronts), they seem to be quite cheap but are they low dust? Might be a good alternative anyway to the stock versions as I...

    Benz On The Green 2019 **11th of May**

    Just got back after a fantastic day! Really enjoyed the drive out after following cars going in different directions, getting lost, turning around and around and somehow finding a mad C63 & E63 who I followed and had a "ton" of trouble trying to keep up with! Great fun! So many beautiful cars...

    W140 S320 Overheating help!

    Bought the Thermostat from Mercedes - £30... Took the old one out and the rubber ring had disintegrated. Cleaned up the housing and put the new thermostat in. Took 2 hours in total, most of which was cleaning. Car now reaches around 83C and stays there. Great! Thanks for the help guys...

    W140 S320 Overheating help!

    Thanks guys, I will try replacing the thermostat first before investigating the water pump. Are there any recommended parts sellers here I should get one from? I'd rather buy a genuine / equivalent from here than from Eurocarparts / GSF. Best Regards, Vent
