The colour coding on the springs denote the spring rate for your specific vehicle , it is option dependent so there wont be a single part number that covers all ML`s. Best give the springs a wipe down and call the dealer with the colour banding , that way you are going to get the correct...

No , sounds like you need a new mate. How can the hole be too small to wind them out - they went in through the same hole. What does he mean by "just enough to catching the threads" ? Your mate is going to have to be handy with a drill + tap so as not to damage the soft metal of the head...

Decided to wear my Seamaster 300 yesterday which hadn`t been worn for over six months , being an automatic watch it had stopped probably a day after it had been put in the safe but when i was about to set the time i noticed that it had stopped at the exact time that i was about to wear it -...

I do agree with what you are saying as i would also like to see a full set of premium rubber on anything i was proposing to purchase , however i wouldn`t be put off by a slightly lesser brand should they be 100% correct for that particular vehicle. Every vehicle we presently own has been...

Dont think it would put me off it they were matching / similar wear rate and were the correct load rating for the vehicle , my CLS came from the MD as an AUC with Evergreen ?? rubber and i never had an issue with them or felt them underperforming whilst i owned the vehicle. As with most things...

What ones - Kumho / Pirelli / Michelin ? K

Any "crabbing" issues with the Michelin`s ? The P Zero`s are embarrassingly bad below 6 degrees , which it has been up here in Scotland since October of last year. K

For a set of F+R PS4S it will be around £1500 fitted , almost double the price of a set of Kumho`s. Yes they will be a better tyre without question but as a set for a "daily driver" are they worth the premium for 99% town driving , as a Scotsman i could go for a set of Pace tyres @ £112 each but...

Anyone have experience of the above tyres, either good / bad. Will soon be needing a fresh set of front rubber for the Cayenne as the original P Zero`s are down to 3mm so around summer time i am looking at replacing them. Option one - replace the fronts with the same P Zero`s @ £720 for the...

A lot of the modern complex cooling systems require them to be vacuum bled to prevent airlocks. K

If you continue to enquire about the vehicle (service history etc.) then they think you are still interested so stick to the job in hand - the refund of your deposit. Who is the supplying dealer or who has the franchise ? Call their "customer service" and ask ,as a potential new customer, if...

If i may ask : Why are you still perusing the vehicle if you dont want it and are actively seeking a refund of your deposit. If the car has completely missed a service then i very much doubt any third party warranty provider would entertain a claim , regardless of what a salesman would say...

Yes ,now i have a bit more time to elaborate. MB springs are bespoke to a particular vehicle as their rate is calculated on options and their weight fitted to that specific car. There will be three colours bands on your springs , this is what the dealer needs to order you the correct pair for...

OEM K

You get a three year manufacturers warranty with a new vehicle , on an approved used car over three years you get a 12m warranty , 24m if it is an AMG. After the 12m approved used warranty has expired you can extend it , at a price , providing servicing criteria has been met. K

I never realised that the 12m warranty that came with Mercedes Approved used vehicle was supplied through a third party. K

If an AUC needed a warranty repair and it was found it hadn`t been serviced properly prior to sale then would it still be covered ? K

Found this in the extended warranty handbook under claim "exclusions": 5. Faulty repairs, incorrect servicing or failing to have the insured vehicle serviced in line with the manufacturer’s specification. So basically if the vehicle doesn`t have a FSH as set out by MB then the extended...

You not trusting the dealership / salesperson is not a valid reason for returning the vehicle , if it has a few scratches then depending on how old the vehicle is or how many miles it has then it maybe deemed consummate with the age / mileage etc. FWIW , vehicles are put up for sale with the...

What exactly are the outstanding service item(s) ? Had an issue with my last purchase regarding the FSH , it turned out that the plugs had not been replaced at the big service and they should have been. Had them replaced at the local MD and was compensated from the supplying dealer which was...
