    Squeaky folding mirror S / W211 ?

    For future reference Mike -- its the sealing rubber where the mirror folds into the body. I use some bilt hamber ferrosol lubricant sprayed into the lid and a detailers q-tip -- they're firm, fuzzy and angled so that I can run the tip along the inside of the rubber where it rubs against the hard...

    W251 R Class Water Ingress Boot Wheel Well

    After a few days of heavy rain, both the keyless go function stopped working and the android head unit. I remove the run flat wheel in the boot to be greeted with a pool of water. It has drained away, since I removed the grommet but the water affected both the keyless and bluetooth modules --...

    Wheels in Motion — Joe

    I was disappointed to call WiM this week hoping to book an alignment for a new to me W251 R500L. Not only did the guy on the phone seem absolutely clueless about setting up MB but he said that Joe doesn’t work there. It’s a really shame, as Joe really understood Merc set up. Does anyone know...

    Gummi Pflege on rubber trims/seals

    I ordered that last year after having read about it on here but haven't got around to using it yet -- it is very easy to apply? Also, can I use it to prevent creaking of hard plastic sear trim?

    Sunroof Recall

    I went in and it was a waste of time. They just checked the 'code' on the sunroof, just as Sandown Guildford did a couple of years back. I reckon they mishandled the data and couldn't cross reference the VIN against the liability.

    Brabus B600 v AMG GTS on the autoroute

    This does touch on a nuance of French multi-lane driving that I don't feel has been represented or acknowledged accurately here. I should add, in case this post is misinterpreted as deliberately antagonistic, that I love the post and the squirty throttle derring-do! Also, of the comparison...

    Ctek mxs 5 charger.

    I have an indicator LED fitted (which is also a female mating connector for the CTEK 5.0 charger) -- I was actually going to ask about this, as it isn't uncommon for it to indicate orange very soon after the charger is disconnected (having fully charged, as indicatedon the charger) and then...

    The dreaded SBC

    I didn't deal with him directly, I left that to my Indy. As it happens, they know him from other work that he does on the electronics side.

    The dreaded SBC

    This is an interesting comment, slightly perturbing and disappointingly lacking in detail. On my side, however, it's almost purely theoretical as I've opted to have this done over Xmas prior to having this thread brought to my attention. First impressions are that the brakes work, but the...

    W211 rear tyre issue

    I read it differently initially, but having re-read it I can visualise the unusual wear pattern as you suggest.

    W211 rear tyre issue

    Here is a thread to get you started. I'll try to fish out the other one later (though there are possibly a number using 'WiM' in the search function.

    W211 rear tyre issue

    As the air bags age, they diminish in quality as do conventional springs. The sagging can lead to inner tyre wear as described. As such, the adjustment on the camber isn't available to the person doing the alignment/tracking. Whilst no technician, I was talked through this my Joe at Wheels in...
