    Why are my cam bearing caps a different colour?

    Hi all I took the valve covers off my C63 to have a look at the cam lobe wear, and noticed that my cam bearing caps are a totally different colour to the rest of the engine? Why would this be? To me it almost looks like they came from a different engine? Or the caps are a different material...

    Any MOT testers on here?

    Just had one of my cars MOT'd today and am trying to understand the brake test results, more specifically the efficiency part. My front brakes have an efficiency rating of 41%, and the rears 29%.

    Garage review - Prestige Service & Maintenance Reading

    I had never heard of this garage despite living locally, but was referred to PSM by another garage when looking for help with an automatic gearbox issue I encountered over the weekend and am so glad I was.

    Gearbox issue, can't won't start

    I've got a weird problem with my car which I'm hoping one of you may be able to enlighten me on. The gearbox basically seems to have become "out of sync" for want of a better way to explain it - the dash display shows the car is in S (drive), the gear stick itself is in P, but the car can be...

    Sudden, complete loss of power steering

    I am not having much luck with my car at the moment. Having just got it back on the road after a failed MOT and prior to that, a failed wheel bearing, I was driving earlier today, around an hour into the drive, and all of a sudden I get a brief whining noise and then complete loss of all power...

    204 C63 brake pad retaining pins

    Hi gents - just had to cut through my rear caliper retaining pins as they were completely seized on, are there aftermarket options or is this a dealer only part? They want £65 for 4 pins, extortionate for what they are, particularly when the design means that they will inevitably seize again in...
