    '98 W202 ignition switched live at rear of car? Antenna amp maybe?

    When I change the head-unit in my W202 the new one will have DAB and needs it's own antenna which comes with a booster, all this is fine and I can deal with it no problem, have done ICE installs many times over the years. I know the car has a rear screen antenna with it's own amp which I don't...

    Do W210 E55 brakes fit a W202?

    Got my new to me '98 W202 C240 home and I'm ready to start interfering with her, I have seen plenty of posts saying the C43 and E55 front brakes are the same and are interchangeable, but also seen that facelift and pre face lift W210 E55 brakes are different AND of course mine isn't a C43, it's...

    W210 E55 estate rescue?

    Hi guys, i have a rusty W210 E55 estate, I knew it was rusty when i bought it and it was cheap but I wanted to gas about in it for a bit before stripping it for parts to fit to a W202, have driven it daily for over three years and it's been fine until a rear levelling strut has come away at the...

    W202 c43 structural changes from lower specced models?

    Hi all, hoping to pick some expert brains, I am wondering what changes (if any) were made to the W202s shell to fit the AMG parts? I have a slowly decomposing E55 estate which is complete but would need more spending on it than it would cost to just buy a clean lower mileage one so rather than...

    W210 E55 cuts out then takes a while before will restart, help!

    Left my car sitting for a couple of hours yesterday and it wouldn't restart, due to one thing and another about an hour later a mate said rather than let it start itself, give it a bootfull of throttle and if its flooded because of worn MAF or old plugs the extra air should get it going, which...

    Does the W211 E55 pipe in "fake" engine noise?

    I realise the w211 is a different car to my W210 and has a different exhaust but even with a pair of cats and the big centre box taken out of the exhaust, my W210 is still really quiet compared to tthe vids i've seen on YT. Most of them are W211 E55 videos though so I wondered if that car just...

    Anyone know if I can get a 15 or 16" rim on my estate car? For fitting winter tyres, will be moving out where they don't grit the roads and I drive a truck so will be on the way to work on fresh ice and snow at 4am if we get any. :S

    W210 E55T roof antenna

    I believe the roof antenna on my estate car is for the now defunct analogue Tele Aid (Not that i'd subscribe even if it wasn't) Anyone know if it was amplified? I'm thinking I may as well replace it with a roof mount DAB one instead and as most of those are amplified, be handy if there is...
