It's that time of year again , Nick Mason (Pink Floyd drummer & founder member) parks a number of cars from his collection on his lawn and lets us all get very close to them , no plinths or velvet ropes here , not even around his Ferraris , one of which is worth a reported £40 million plus...

Best I can suggest is searching Amazon for 'Autoxbert jack pucks' they have all shapes and sizes. The one on the left is the 'stock' size for a C class 203 (and other MB's) , the bit that goes into the sill hole is 25mm high (total height is 40mm) x 23 x 55, base diameter is 70mm . The one on...

I wouldn't normally bother you lot with this as in the past iv been OK using the various VIN decode 'tools' and links previously posted on here , but this 2008 SL63 a mate of mine wants info on is giving me the run around. A quick look on CarVertical using the VIN (before paying for the full...

Very ambiguous , I know , only because I know nothing about them . A family member stumbled across this one in South Africa the other day while visiting a client , started chatting to the owner who said he would be happy to sell it (along with the V12 E31 BMW 850i that is parked next to it , but...

I'll go first. In a previous life technicians from all over the world would be sent our way to gain practical experience on certain bespoke machinery , I ran the service schedule on the site of our biggest and most important customer , as a result we had a team of guys (rotating) pretty much on...

Many older MB cars have this (or similar) in the power steering system , this being a 2006 C class . It's not just an expansion tank it is a throw away service item with an inbuilt filter . It can be bought for around £25 and is held in by one bolt , one pipe clamp and a outlet pipe clip ...

I purposely titled this 'C55' as the M113 V8 is used in loads of MB cars to which this post will not apply due to the simple fact that all have bigger engine bays than the W/S203 C55's and access to the plug in question is not such an issue. I replaced my spark plugs (all 16 'natch) , taking...

https://events.liveit.io/the-wiltshire-bobby-van-trust/middlewick-house-open-garden-2024/ Did anyone attend this year ? Any Photos ? I missed it due to family commitments , but I do know it caused a massive traffic jam on day 2 . Sadly it might cause the event to be moved if too many...

OK . a bit ambiguous but this was a very low mileage (2700 miles) when the sump and bottom end was damaged in a collision. A full block was purchased to fix it and the MB dealership . Someone (a Yo Ho :p ) cut some corners when repairing it and destroyed the engine.

Car was stood outside for over 50 days during an overseas work trip (started up after a bit of cranking without needing any assistance , but thats another thread altogether) I got in and saw what looked like a screen protector laminate bubbling on the screen . Iv had the car about 5 years and...

Can we try and stick to facts (such as they are) that are reported in main stream media , preferably from more than one scource ? They will of course on many occassions be bought to us via social media by either people who are 100% conviced that EV's are the future and those who have polar...

His videos are quite long but anyone wanting a close look inside a modern AMG engine can see it all here. Drove through a deep puddle appears to be the diagnosis.

It's certainly ultra clean with very low mileage and as a Japanese import is almost certainly rust free....but really ? Non factory head unit and parking sensors (and in my opinion) 'out of place ' wood interior. It will probably sell (for less than £29K) . It's not even the far more rare Estate...

He tells some unfortunate truths about EV fires . He does say the cause of the fire may not have even been an EV , but the results are devastating .

Spotted this , 'Interesting' wheels 🤔 . Like I said , It wasn't there for a wedding :) Interesting wheels.

Got passed on the freeway on the way to work the other day by a brand new (still on paper licence plates) AMG GT63 we exited on the same off ramp . When he came to a halt at the traffic light the rear spoiler popped up , it had not been up when driving at speed on the freeway. It stayed that...

After all that Alex manage to give it away.

Saw this outside Harbour Freight toolshop , (I'm working in USA at the moment) and as my title suggests I have not seen a MB this beat since I was in Morocco . They were all E class taxi's, the colour of this S is pretty close too. Still going strong. And it's a Diesel , quite an odd thing to...

Tyler Hoover gets his ancient Maybach repaired under warranty and gets to drive a 2023 version. 'Bounce' tech to get the thing out of a hole must surely be aimed at potential owners who might get themselves stuck on sand dunes. ?
