Hi Merc fans, I've got a crack on the ball joint linkage arm of the rear level sensor that controls xenon headlight level. I bought some replacement links only, but on removal of the links/sensor on the rear passenger side (above the drive shaft) I can see that there is a crack in the sensor...

I MB Club collective. The boy's birthday is approaching, and I think some sort of r/c car could be a good idea. I've had a look online, and prices soon get silly, as does performance. There's no end of '45 kph' cars out there. I can easily imagine what that will do to my skirting boards 🤬 So...

Hi collective mind of MBClub, I've been restoring (to sell) a circa 1995 Muddy Fox mountain bike, and I need some stickers to add the finishing touch. They are essentially Arial Bold font, plus the 'paw' symbol to go on the head tube. I don't want to go generic off eBay because I want the...

Nothing to do with me, but I've just purchased a couple of pairs for my 2011 E350 £10.49 seems a fairly competitive price. The link is for 2 wipers per pack. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bosch-A939S-Wiper-Blades-Set/dp/B006ESJV34

I have a couple of genuine stepper motor control arms. I bought these for my w203 but they could fit others? Check your part number required. I bought a second hand stepper motor in the end because the motor had broken internally so I reused my old control arm instead. Had a look on ebay and...

Good day all, I know normally when people's cars aren't getting up to temp, the first place to look is the thermostat being on the way out. The shift I'm about to explain is relatively minor, and not the 'struggles to get above 65°C' that we often get asked about. Given that it's freezing...

Hello fellow Merc forumites, A random and possibly stupid question from me. I've seen a car I fancy on Autotrader, but it is listed in the detailed description as having a hot starting issue. Cold no problem. Full main dealer service history. 2011 2 liter diesel. I'm suspecting it's most...

After seeing a lot of positive comments about Dr Leather cleaner, I thought I would give it a try: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dr-Leather-advanced-formula-leather/dp/B007KARWZE I've just sprayed it sparingly on to a clean micro fibre cloth, and wiped round the car, paying particular attention to...

Hi all, hopefully there is some depth of experience on this issue. Mrs Greedy's Golf was parked outside Greedy Towers, whereby someone was driving past and crashed heavily into the rear quarter with a strong glancing blow. The rear driver's side wheel was obviously out of alignment and took...

Hi all, As titled, I'm looking to set up the Greedy lair with some new security. I have an old wired alarm system that works, but needs replacing due to some house rennovations. What I'm looking for: - Two external CCTV cameras that records front and back. Possibly the bubble type. Ideally...

Hi With high car prices, I'm thinking of cashing in the E class. Best car I've ever owned and maintained to a very high standard. In order to cash in, this means buying a cheap turd box of a family car load lugger. I'm only doing about 3k miles a year, so petrol would be appropriate...

I'm hoping @Darrell might get a butcher's at this thread, and chip in some professional opinion. I'm having some work done on my house, and having seen what has been done leadwork wise, and having seen your 5exy leadwork thread, I thought I would get a second opinion of this, if that's okay. In...

Hi forum members and vast fountains of knowledge. I left employment with my previous employee very early June 2021, so 2 months into the 2021/2022 tax year. I had private family medical paid by my employer, with an annual BIK value of about £2,500. This is the value that has been reported by...

Autotrader, not the Bay, but worth a look. Possibly a touch of detailing required on the inside to bring it up to it's best :rolleyes: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202112260820559 I've saved a handful of pictures into this post for posterity, after the car flies off sold to the new...

I'm going to change the coolant over the next few months (as soon as weather depending), and I've got the aux belt and tensioners to do, so I will change those at the same time. I'm also considering a new intercooler, as a few months ago when fitting a new air con condenser, the intercooler...

Hi forum members, Having a slight panic with the Merc. It's been faultless in my ownership, but this morningI started the car and there was significant side to side vibration that was shaking the car. It felt like the engine was out of balance or something similar. I stopped the car. Locked...

As titled, Goodyear tyres on decent offer at Costco. £40 off two 18" tyres £50 off two 19" tyres £80 off four 18" tyres £100 off four 19" tyres £8.40 fitting. Works out at £100 a corner fitted for my E350 245/40R18 front and 265/35R18 rear. Unfortunately, I don't need tyres for probably 12-18...

Hi all, I thought it was worth posting a little guide on here about changing the refrigerant line that runs from the bottom of the condenser to the compressor. It's about 40cm in length, with a rubber section in the middle. Part number A2048305216, £50ish delivered from MB Grangemouth. I...

Hi, I have a condenser leak on my w212. Original part number is A2045000654. I believe original manufacturer was Denso. Mercedes supplied unit is £300. Denso parts catalogue and Autodoc list Denso part DCN17035 for about £150. Search for part number via Denso website here...

Hi there, I'm looking to replace the front bumper on my Alfa 145, hence this is in the off topic section. The folks on here help with so much across the board (e.g. the recent toilet flush thread!) that I thought I would give you a try. Autodoc sell a replacement bumper from two or three...
