    What Have You Done To Your Merc Today?

    Had to call out a mobile locking wheel bolt removal service after one stripped. I’m annoyed with myself as I’d intended to swap them for normal bolts for quite some time 😡

    OM642 Coolant Temp sensor stuck and sheared off…!

    Regarding the debris, once you’ve got the sensor out don’t immediately drain the system. Use a hose in the filler hole to ‘blast’ the bulk of the debris back out the sensor hole. What’s left should settle somewhere out the way, it may even come out when you drain the system after doing the above.

    SLK Key Replacement

    If it’s an R170 you can’t get replacement keys (unless things have changed recently). What doesn’t work, door locking or engine start?

    My local mechanic only managed to change 5 glow plugs, mercedes e class w211.

    The glow plugs help with starting the engine, they have no effect once it’s running.

    B Class W246 broken rear spring

    Your car is exactly the same as mine by the looks of it. It has the sports pack which includes the sports springs, the electronic parts catalogue also describes it as avant-garde suspension. You should be able to find the part number from here...

    is the Mercedes care plan worth it for a 2022 A Class at £34 a month

    Will an Indie really know more about a car as new as that? I’d have thought it would take a while for sufficient vehicles to pass through their hands and build up a knowledge base. Main dealer staff are more likely to have been on training courses for such models.

    W205 Dec 2014 Gearbox Service

    It’s quite involved, one of the few things I take the car to an indie for. Not a big cost differential compared to DiY.

    The UK Politics & Brexit Thread

    Do the Tories still have a problem in that talented people who were anti Brexit were/are excluded from cabinet? Do such people exist or is it water under the bridge now?

    Electronic Parking Brake not disengaging

    There’s a menu option for replacing rear brake pads which moves the pistons back and forth. You could try running this a few times to see if it frees anything off, it got rid of the warning message on my B Class.

    TPMS & rotations of tyres

    I guess it depends on the system fitted but mine has a menu option to reset the reading after inflating the tyres to the correct pressure.

    I wonder how many of us hang up our control arms and take pictures of paint drying - at least two!

    W210 E230 avantgarde - replacing stock suspension

    It’s a 210 E Class, it it really worth spending all that money? It probably rusted through in a few areas too.
