    Cost of replacing door? (W202)

    You can insist on getting it fixed, you pay insurance to cover you and your vehicle. It's just quicker, cheaper and easier for the insurers to write off a car rather than replace it. If you think the car is worth it then insist on the repair if you go down the insurance work.

    Replace head gasket or new engine?

    Makes you wonder why they bother changing head gaskets if steel seal is so good doesn't it ? For what it's worth using that snake oil is a bodgers trick for chancers wanting to flog a car on with a problem or for folks who can't afford to run the car in the first thing. Steel seal has a nasty...

    lifting the suspension on my ML

    Not the same offroader but we have been doing this for years on pajeo/shoguns. The problem with cranking the torsion bars is it will wreck the geometry and put a lot of stress on the ball joints. We used ball joint spacers to get round the problem but your next problem will be the bump stops...

    W210 E300 1998 Auto problem?

    Have you checked the oil level in the autobox as this sounds like low oil level. It's not doing the box any good driving it while its slipping and wventually you will lose drive completely.

    What music frequently graces your Mercedes?

    I have 1 cd, the soundtrack to ashes to ashes. Haven't got a clue what the radios tuned to and in all honesty the stereo has too many flashing lights and beeps for me to be bothered turning it on. I may swap it out for a coin tray or something when i get a moment.

    Re-ordered number plate lettering

    Every show plate i have bought (not for road use obviously) has had a notice bonded on the back of the plate saying that it's a show plate and not for road use. The last one i bought had a flyer with it stating that it was illegal to use the plate on the road.

    Winter driving options

    You can pick up a swb pajero or shogun for well under a grand. Get one, throw a set of muds on and some sliders and rag round in that for the couple of weeks or snow we may or not get. I sold my modded shogun last year and to be honest my c class merc was as good on the roads in the terrible...
