    Comparison of fuel consumption

    How would the consumption of a 2010 C350cdi compare to my 12 year old C220cdi? Much worse, slightly worse, roughly the same? I really need to get another Merc and I like these a lot. The last couple of times I checked my 220cdi over two tanks of fuel it came in at about 38mpg the first time and...

    Desperate for advice, bought the wrong car!

    Where to start? I have owned my W202 220Cdi for 10 happy years, but as I was considering enforced early retirement I thought that something more economical might be a good idea for the future. So I decided on an Audi A1 1.6 Diesel Sport and bought a new one. Well, 2000 miles later and I just...

    W202 window regulator

    Has anyone managed to repair a regulator by replacing the snapped/mangled wire cable? Both of my rear ones have gone and replacements seem quite costly. I could just wedge them up and forget about them but I like things to work properly.

    Poor heater 202 C220cdi W reg

    I am not looking forward to suffering through another winter in my car. The heater is absolutely hopeless, the temperature takes forever to reach normal at the best of times but during the winter it is even worse. My journey to work is about 10 miles by dual carriageway and it is just beginning...

    Are these wheels too big?

    I have found a set of almost new AMG III wheels with tyres but looking at the fitment guide it looks as if they are probably too wide. The wheels in question are 8 1/2J offset ET30 and 9 1/2J offset ET33. Is there any tyre combination that will work with my 2000 model W202. Very disappointed...

    Front spot/foglights

    I was thinking that some lights would look good instead of the black plastic that is fitted to the front spoiler of my car. Are there any available for a C Class W202? There are some E Class on ebay and Euro Carparts sell them to fit E's. They look roughly the same shape as the aperture on...

    Will these fit my car?

    The alloys on my car are in need of refurb but I know someone who has for sale a set of fully refurbed Merc wheels with brand new Pirelli P5's fitted. My car is a 2000 W202 C220CDi and is fitted with 195 65 15 at the moment, the other wheels are fitted with 235 50 16. Any ideas? Many thanks.

    Plastic primer for spoiler

    My bootlip spoiler has just arrived and I need to paint it to match the car. I believe it needs to be prepared with some kind of plastic primer before the top coat. Had a look around and found some on Halfords website, can anybody tell me if this will do the trick or is there something else...

    Bootlip Spoiler

    I have been tidying the paintwork etc on my car, C class W202 2000, and was thinking about freshening it's look with maybe a new chrome grille insert and a boot spoiler. I like the look of the small lip spoilers that I have seen for sale. Has anyone any experience/ photos of them when fitted. I...

    Rust around windscreen trim

    There is some rust coming from behind the top edge of the screen on my W202. Is it possible to remove and refit the rubber trim along the top so that I can get right into the rusty area. Looks like the screen is bonded, maybe the trim is just a finishing strip. Would appreciate any advice...

    Quality brake discs

    Hi I need some new discs on my W202 220Cdi. I have replaced them before but not with genuine parts and they have lasted only about 2 years. I should have known better but, never mind. Should I just pay the extra and buy Merc ones or can anybody recommend good quality replacements that will...
