The time has come to part with my beloved SEC. Work commitments and family circumstances have resulted in the car not being driven at all in the past year, and only 500 miles the year before so time it goes to someone that will treasure it as much as i have.
Open to serious offers.
Some...
I have a Brabus D6 (III) that i want to install on my E320 CDI V6. Removed from a friends car via a garage before sale, unfortunately i don't have the instructions to fit. Can anyone advise where the wires are meant to go or does someone have a copy of the installation manual i could borrow...
This was the exact reason why i didn't mention any names in the original post, not my intention of naming and shaming, only stated the name once numerous suggestions were being made about taking the car to WIM.
WIM have gone out of their way to help with the problem and not once quibbled about...
Update
Firstly my apologies for the delay in updating the thread, joys of working every hour under the sun!
The car has been back to WIM approx 2 weeks back now, was told the issue was with the tracking and adjustments were made.
the steering wheel position has improved, albeit...
Owned the car for the last year, all panels were original as the paintwork when purchased. It drove fine before, even with the inner tyre wear issue, another common problem on the W211.
Unfortunately mines noticably off centre, to the point whenever someone else drives it they all comment on it.
They all veer to the left but on a motorway the steering should be flat, certainly not not tilting to one side.
I'm on my 6th W211, i've got access to 3 more which i frequently...
I know sometimes you fix one problem on a car and something else starts giving a problem, which isn't anyones fault, so i do understand. I've modfiied many cars over the years and have seen various scenarios over the years.
My concern was that although when i first came in i had the inner tyre...
Thats fine, i will pop the car in again to you guys.
Fuel cost isn't the issue, just the time it involves in getting to you and back and work etc. What i will do i check my diary on Monday and see when i can take some time out, otherwise it may end up being a phonecall on the sameday hoping...
What i'll do is put the winter wheels i have back on the car just to eliminate the tyres from the equation all together. The car drove 100% straight in terms of steering position prior to the alignment, i'm really fussy with my cars, no way i wouldn't have noticed something like that!
I'll...
I think you may have me confused with someone else.
My car is a E320 CDI Black 56 reg, not lowered but stock Sport spec with brand new Pirelli tyres ( were fitted before the car was booked in so yuoiu couldn't have seen the old tyres!). Tyres and wheels have not been swapped since so i believ...
very slight pull to the left if i let go of the steering, no worse than any other Merc on my driveway.
All the castor specs are within tolerance so shouldn't give me 1 inch steering wheel position difference.
Brand new tyres fitted day before alignment so not a tyre issue as it drove...
Even before the work was carried out the car was within spec according to the print out and the first initial check for the camber. My issue was inside tyre wear on the fronts, but was told to have the new bolts installed as obviously there was a problem there. So installed and the camber...
Completely agree, very happy for me to bring the car back, just a case of last time i went there i was told that the issue wasn't the alignment but a sensor problem on my car.
All alignment figure were within spec on the car.
Everything else seems fine, haven't driven it enough to see if the tyres are wearing evenly or not, but its annoying that the wheel isn't straight when you're going straight!
Yep the chaps are nice enough, to be honest i used to use a...
