Hi there, I have an 05 E320 CDI with the OM648. I replaced the engine mounts at around 110,000 miles and by 130,000 they're already shot. I'm pretty sure that I used Lemforder but it could be Corteco. Both are OE brands to MB. Any idea how long they're supposed to last? Thanks

So I'm fixing up a 2000 Mercedes Benz E55 AMG. I bought this car for my brother in 2016 when he was living here in Texas and decided to buy it back this year. The seats are in poor shape but it's totally rust free. I want to do a budget resto and am wondering if I can snag a pair of used seat...

So I was speaking to my brother today who lives in West London (Outside the N Circular) and he told me that they're talking about extending ULEZ to the M25? I'm trying to understand how this is not a huge deal for residents that own cars and communte outside or across London where public...

All, maybe someone can give me some insight here. A friend of mine in the UK intended to buy a used E class at a Mercedes Benz dealer in Birmingham. He placed a 500GBP deposit to hold the car and scheduled a time for collection. At some point en route, they told him that they sold the car from...

I know that this is an MB forum but I feel that a technical question is better suited here than on the RR forum which I belong to so bear with me. I picked up a 2003 Arnage T at auction in Californiway that was said to run and drive. Driver indicated that the car would not start when he picked...

The keurig coffee machine and k-cup system is huge in the US. I was thinking of getting one for my brother as he enjoys the coffee when he visits and bringing the pods over (Costco brand Pacific Bold). It does not seem like they're sold in the UK. Given how popular it is in the US, I doubt...

All, I don't drive my SL55 much, I bought it in 2014 with 63000 miles and I've yet to hit 68000 miles in it after more than 5 years. I took it out last night for a quick blast before I do the annual inspection. It might have been the second time I drove it this year and I noticed a couple of...

So I'm a car guy. I like to work on my own cars, and over the years, I've accumulated a bunch of tools, lift, building etc here in Texas so that I can enjoy my hobby which mostly involves tinkering around old cars in various states of disrepair over the weekend. I consider it good therapy as...

I own a few Mercedes Benz cars that only came with one smart key so I figured that it would make sense if I bought a key duplicator so as it costs around $300 for a replacement key here in the US. I settled on the VSTM CGDI Prog MB Car Key Programmer. I was able make spares for my S55 and my...

I've owned a couple of 300SEL 6.3's for about a decade. I bought this one around 2011-2012 time frame. It had been sitting many years and had some horrible gas inside. The PO started parting it out and decided to sell the transmission from it before I saved it. I found a transmission for it...

Looking for the rubber bits on the end of the front bumpers plus the strip. I bought a Euro car with a over bumper kit and these parts are missing. I travel every so often to the UK so suggestions would be gratefully appreciated.

I'm looking online at Aston Martin forums and they seem to be pretty light weight. Does anyone know of a decent one where people actually wrench on their cars? Costs are not too dissimilar to AMG cars , yet I know plenty of AMG guys that change water pumps, rebuild suspension and tune. I find it...

All, I'm ex pat Brit living in Texas and I have serious car hobby that usually results in me buying a number of parts cars that i use to fix my cars ,and then sell parts off to fund the hobby. The majority of cars that I buy are Mercedes Benz from the 70's and 80's like the W108/W109, W107...

I'm trying to adjust the co using my tailpipe analyzer on my 560SEC. It's a non cat car and I've currently got it set at 1%. Does anyone know what the factory setting should be?

All, I have a NOS W112 height control valve that i'd like to sell and have been approached by a few people on the MB forums (not this one). As i'm not familiar with the W112, i'd like to get an idea of what would be a fair price for one of these valves. Can anyone help here?

I hope you all (ya'll) don't mind an ex pat living in Texas posting to the UK forum. I have a 1988 Euro (LHD) 560SEC with ASR which is not a common feature on US models and therefore there is not much knowledge on this technology on the US forums so I was hoping I could get some useful...

Gang This is my first post and I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I'm looking for replacement velour fabric for my 1979 450SLC in Dark blue. I need both the flat and the ribbed material and it doesn't seem like anyone stocks this anymore. I was hoping that a forum member would have a...
