Hi all. I'm about to take my winter wheels off the car and get them fully refurbished along with my summer set. I've decided that I no longer want to be swapping wheels for seasons so am looking to sell this set. These are 18” AMG 7-Spoke Alloy Wheels from a w204. They are located in...

Apologies if this is in the wrong section. It's kind of electrical and bodywork at the same time. I have managed to split the rubber boot that protects the cables running into the boot lid. I have ordered a new one from mercedes but they were unable to answer this question: Is there a plug in...

Hi guys. These lights came on today on the way to the cinema with the kiddies. I won't be about to plug it in until tomorrow now. Any ideas what it may be? Thanks, Lawrence.

Evening all, Hopefully this will help someone. Recently I've noticed my car getting very hot and the fan running when I pull up to work. The temperature gauge shows normal. After doing a bit of research it seems to be related to the DPF regeneration. I came across this video of a Mercedes owner...

Hi all, Has anyone got a rear diffuser for sale please with two openings for the exhaust? It's to fit a facelift w204 c-class saloon. Thanks, Lawrence.

Afternoon all. A friend of mine recently installed a sew-on steering wheel cover to his car and I really liked the look of it so I thought I'd have a go. He paid just over £100 for his but I managed to find a company in China that would custom make one and ship it to me all in for £26. My...

Hey guys. First time today using a paste wax. Normally I go for liquid waxes but I've always wanted to try a more traditional paste wax. These pictures are after using Meguiars Gold Class. Pretty pleased with the results and it was nice and easy to use.

Hi all, Does anyone know if a firmware update would change the colour of the user interface in my w204. It's a facelift model with an audio 20 unit fitted. The screen is definitely a colour one as the navigation is in colour. I just think the brown/beige style looks a bit old and much prefer...

Hi all, Just a quick one to see if anyone will know. I've just fitted some 10mm spacers to my c-class and used the supplied 40mm bolts. There is a horrible noise coming from the rear now. I've done some reading and it appears that the bolts are rubbing on the hand break mechanism. So looks like...

Afternoon all, Just a quick one. I've ordered my new tyres to be fitted tomorrow through black circles. Thought I'd give the garage a call just to as if they could fit me in for a 4 wheel alignment. I mentioned that I have a C-class (w204 c250 CDI) They said that they couldn't do it because...

Evening all. Had a rare day off today to myself so thought I would give the car a good compound and polish. I bought a dual action polisher a few weeks back in preparation. I have been watching loads of videos on how to do it and what not to do and have been inspired by @LeeJV 's recent posts...

Afternoon all, Obviously I don't know better than Mercedes but following the PSI guidance under the fuel filler cap leaves my tyres looking really flat. The temptation is there to pump them up some more... I've tried two different pumps to make sure one wasn't under reading. According to...

Evening all. Quick audio question please. The wife's got a little Toyota Aygo and would like better sound in it. So... I've got a new stereo which outputs 4x55 watts and a set of component speakers to mount in the front. Mids for the doors and tweeters for the A pillars. Not bothering with...

Hi All, I'm hoping someone can help me please. I've tried many different wheel cleaners over the last few months and have found that the ones that colour change seem to be the most efficient at cleaning my wheels. Many different brands seem to do the same thing so I wonder if it's just the...

Afternoon all, Apologies, as this has probably been covered many times but I'm just after a straw poll! Need two new tyres for the rear of my 2011 C-Class. It currently has Pirelli P-Zero tyres all round and I must say I haven't been very impressed with them. Wet grip is almost nonexistent...

Just had a chance to clean the C-Class after a 400 mile round trip. It's not perfect but the best I can do in the time I had!

Morning all. Just wondering if anyone has any information on the following code? P2112 - Throttle actuator control system stuck closed It's on my 2011 C250 CDI Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Lawrence.

Hi, I've searched the forum but can't seem to find the answer and you guys have been really knowledgeable so far. I'm wondering if you could shed some light on the following please. I had my 2011 C250 CDI remapped by Topgear Tuning and it has supposedly added an extra 38bhp and 100nm of...

Morning all, I'm.sorry if this question has been asked before but I have searched and can't find the answer. My 2011 C250 CDI is going in for a remap on Thursday and I have opted to have the EGR disabled in the software. My question is, will this be enough to render the EGR inoperable or like...
