Spent today stripping the left rear hub down to get to the abs ring. The car abs came on last week, propmtly turned the power steering off and runflat along with the usual abs error. Quick check on the diagnostic said it was the rear left, bought a new sensor and still there, immediately had...

Well it was mot day today and the car failed with no advisories. I took the car in and they guy noticed it sitting low on the drivers front, said it may be the spring gone. Put it on the lift and failed it as it had split, however there were no other advisories on the car , all the hard work...

Since working on the car and fixing the issues I seem to have encountered a serious facial problem. Everytime I get in the car I find that a grin the size of an oil tankers length appears on my face now, this in itself is not a serious issue but I find that it has become an everyday occurance...

Now everything has been done on the car ( new front discs and pads this weekend everything else has been done this week ) I am thinking of having the car fully detailed and then getting a CLS55 and letting this cls go now its all done. I have no reason to tinker with the car and I am finding...

As the oil cooler and intake thread has finished I thought it prudent to start a new one. The MOT is due in January so I want to be prepared for that so I have a few things that I want to do ready. 1. Replace front discs and pads, clean calipers, I was due to do this job this weekend but the...

Took the throttle body apart this afternoon, checked the gears and they looked ok, nothing owrn or missing, the flap opens and closes fine. Got my boy in the car and started it, with the one intercooler pipe off, i put the torch on my phone on and had the camera on so I could look in there...

Pulled the front egr pipe and the mounting as well, decided that while the weather was nice and sunny ( didn't bloody last) i would get this done. Removed all the relative connectors and bolts as usual, need to get a new oring for the aluminium pipe that connects to the turbo, it was old and...

Had a quick go through the limited service info i have got with the car, saw nothing relating to these. I have decided when the weather is going to be good for a few days to take time off work and take the intake manifolds off and get them cleaned ( vapour blasted) also fit new swirl flap arms...

Can someone give me the correct part number for the camshaft position sensor for my 2008 cls 320 please? My obd has this errored so I am going to replace it this weekend if merc has it in stock. I am hoping while I am there they can do a star diagnostic and give me a printout. I am also...

Took the egr valve off yesterday, no issues or codes just some preventative maintanance. the soot coating was a little thick and sticky, so i hit it with some cleaner and took my time going over it several times. Picking up a new seal washer for it from merc tomorrow with a few other things...

Had to put the car up on the stands today, I recently bought a bluetooth obd reader and did a check as it was a little lumpy on idle and low revs. It showed the O2 sensor having issues. i bought one from a supplier online for £50 and installed it today, took the car out for a drive and hey...

I need to check something tomorrow and I am wondering if it is ok the take the serpentine belt off and start the car without moving it for a a minute or so? I want to check the belt and the pulleys for wear. Thanks

Really happy bunny today, I found a really great condition Front drivers carpet for my car. The one in the car has really bad wear where my foot rests while driving, its worn through. It had really been bugging me ever since i got the car, I have been looking for a replacement constantly. Today...

Im off to Mercedes tomorrow to pick up two replacement pipes and the clamps for the fuel filter in the engine bay. Mine are leaking, seems they went after the recent E service they have them in stock much cheaper than anywhere else i was looking. Anything to be aware of when i change them? I...

I have recently let my clk 220 cdi go and got a very nice condition low milage cls 320 cdi. My only issue is it has the basic audio 20 head unit which i had in the 220. I really need something a bit more up to date in there and have been looking over all the different android based head units...
