    Is This Suitable

    Ok, my aerial has broken on my w202 and I found this cheap one on E-Bay. As Chrimbo is coming and I have to scale down the amount of money I spend to compensate for santa's little pressies I was wondering if this would do. It's £20 including postage. Fit for the following models:   ・...

    Clock Bulb Help

    Ok, some of the lights behind my rev counter and speedo have died and I was wondering which one's I should get to replace them? I wouldn't mind changing them to those festoon LED ones I fitted into the interior of my car a few months back because they are a brilliant white instead of the dull...

    Avantgarde W202 Grille

    Need a reputable UK dealer who won't take me for a ride like these muppets on E-Bay. Can anyone recommend one to me other than the stealers who charge a fortune? I wish i'd taken everyone's advice and not gone with the W202 star grille but we live and learn by our mistakes I suppose. TIA.

    Full Respray

    I got quoted this morning £1k for a complete respray on my 97 202. The guy doing the work has won awards all over the country for his work and i've seen first hand how damn good he is. I have no intention of ever getting rid of it (even if I win the lottery) coz it was the very first status...

    Rear Disc Size For A W202

    Having rang a number of motor factors for some rear discs for my 97 W202 Esprit I keep getting asked what size they are. Mercedes have told me the part number but it's no good to any motor factors as they can't cross reference with Mercedes and I can't get the wheels off to measure them and...

    Clicking & Squeeking On Front Wheel

    Knowing nothing about how cars work, the front passenger wheel has started to click (like the sound when kids put a playing card in the spokes of their bikes to make it click) and also it's squeeking like hell. This is driving me mad as it draws a lot of attention to my car (a 97 W202). Would I...

    Rush hour to crush hour

    Appologies if this has already been posted. From the Daily Mail It's never a good day when you prang the car. And it's a particularly bad day when that car is a Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren costing £330,000. A delivery driver for a supercar hire company had been gingerly navigating the...

    What Size Bulbs For Rear Number Plate Illumination?

    What size are the bulbs that illuminate the rear number plate (length and width preferably)? I was going to strip away the boot lining today to find out but it's hammering down with rain and I really don't want to get soaked. If anyone knows what size bulbs it takes (i'm assuming they're the...

    Brake Light or Trunk Lip Spoiler

    Ok, having taken delivery of my C43 kit, the final piece of the jigsaw (outside the car that is) is the rear spoiler for the boot. Now should I go for one of these below (but with the built in brake light) -> Or a more subtle boot lip spoiler like this one below but with a parcel shelf brake...

    Command V's Kenwood DVD GPS System

    Ok, i've been considering getting a mate of mine (local ICE installer) to install a Command unit in my W202 (like Shude did in the How To section) and i've been weighing up the pro's and cons of doing so. Should I go ahead with this or just go for a Kenwood unit (pictured below) with an...

    M Tex Trim (W202)

    I've had my eye on a black M Tex trim for my W202 and wanted the opinion of members here as to their quality? Ideally i'd like a black leather sports trim for my Merc but they're like rocking horse poop to get hold of and I hear the same thing everytime I ring a breakers yard (sold one yesterday...

    Vented Discs On W202

    My discs are starting to go and i've been advised by my local mechanic they'll need changing in the next month or so. I've noticed on E-Bay I can pick up a set of vented discs and pads very cheap from Germany but mine are not vented (at least I don't think they are) so could I just change over...
