I have an old PCL Mk2 airline gauge - had it for years and it wasn't new when I got it. It's a proper old fashioned bit of "made in England" engineering. But today it has started leaking air at high pressure from the top nut undler the lever. I've stripped the mechanism and cleaned it out but no...

I am trying to figure out what I need to add bluetooth to my 2003 211 with a factory option Nokia cradle in the armrest option 382. The part number showing on the handset cradle is 211 820 1451 I think that my only option is an early Viseeo MB1000/3000 which has the same form as the Nokia...

Earlier this year I decided not to buy a newer s213 and instead bought an older s211 - it's an early 211, e320cdi, late 2003, 43k miles from new, tealite blue, high spec with distronic cruise control, 4 zone climate, leather, 10 speaker HK system, heated seats etc etc. The interior is like a 2...

I am helping with the collection of a 7.3 tonne Unimog motorhome that is being shipped into Southampton in a couple of weeks time. It is UK registered but needs a MOT on arrival. It is a class 4 MOT but needs a place that does larger vehicles such as RVs and motorhomes. Can anyone recommend...

I am going to do some diy minor paintwork repairs on a couple of 20 yr old cars by carefully brushing paint in to the scratches, then rubbing flat and blending into the existing paint. One of the cars is Mercedes tealite blue and the other is BMW Oxford green. I definitely do not want to start...

I am looking for an alternator part number A0121549802 - prefer good condition but happy to refurb one as well.

I am trying to find out what is wrong with the TPMS on a 2003 S211. Upon starting the car there is a message saying reactivate TPMS by pushing the R button. In the dash menu where the TPMS would be displayed there is a message saying "monitoring will commence after a few miles driving...

I have decided that I would like another 211 estate. The condition and service history is more important than the age, colour, spec or engine; would prefer a diesel but would also consider an e500 - but not the smaller petrol or the e55. Happy to pay more for a good one. Please let me know if...

A family member has a Unimog which is a camper conversion currently located 50 miles from Durban, it is UK registered and lhd. It is a bit of a beast of a machine, about 7.3 tonnes. He needs to get it back to the UK; he can arrange the shipment and the documentation and he was planning to fly to...

I need to source some suspension parts for a non MB. I would normally buy Lemforder but they are not available atm. I came across Partsinmotion on line (a UK based supplier with competitive pricing) and they have the Febi or Borg&Beck control arms that I need - has anyone had any experience of...

A friend bought this car as a non runner several years ago and then dry stored it with the intention of putting it back on the road; this never happened. Recently he lost his storage at short notice. He had no spare space for it so we moved it to my house. It is showing 70,700 miles and judging...

Looking for some advice on a w123 230e with the 102.980 engine. The car has been in storage for a while and appears to have suffered a timing chain problem - the engine will only turn on the crank pulley through about 60 degrees - and then locks solid. The most likely cause is bent valve(s) I...

I have bought quite a bit from ECP over the years - all by mail order to avoid the queues in the stores. Overall it has been a good experience. There has never before been a time when there was no discount code - and generally the discount was around 50% on common parts. The discount code has...

Looking for some advice please. My 2007/8 s211 e280cdi needs a new air con condenser as it has a very small pin hole in it - I guess from a stone hitting it. Mercedes price is £345 +VAT less a bit of discount so £300+. Euro has two options - Hella at £200 and EIS at £40. I would normally buy...

First a confession this relates to a VAG car (a Seat Ibiza 2009) and prompted my OBD post. The air bag light came on yesterday. Connected a friends generic scanner and not able to access the SRS system at all. Checked the fuse on the SRS circuit and it is OK but there is no 12v supply at the...

I'm looking to buy a OBD scanner that will work across Mercedes, BMW, VAG and Toyota. I have seen a "Launch" system recommended. It is about 200 pounds direct from Launch in Plymouth but half that on ebay; I realise that the ebay ones are likely to be Chinese copies? Any advice on this or other...

I know it is not a MB...but you never know!

I am looking for a pair of front wings that I can bolt on to my car to keep it on the road whilst I have the originals repaired. Condition and colour not too important but o/s one must have air intake slats of course. Alternatively a couple (or one esp o/s) of good original MB wings would be of...
