I need a wiper motor for my W124 CE300-24 if anyone has one hanging around Thanks Steve

I know it's a long shot but if anyone is breaking one I'm looking. It's not an emergency but the current seat is just floppy and we can't I'd why Thanks Steve

For anyone who's watched Chasing Classics Cars, sadly hidden away in the Discovery suite on Sky, Wayne sold a car for more than he told the owner he would get for it. Of all the reality shows this one actually has a degree of "reality" because its real people playing with real money and its...

I've eventually had a failure on the SE, not bad after 37,000 miles in 18 months, near side main beam bulb gone. Popped into Halfords in Leek, selected the replacement and paid for it, the assistant said he'd always wanted to look under the bonnet of "one of those" "do you mind if I come out...

I bought her earlier this year as a bit of a project, but its going nowhere fast so I'm selling as a runner with 6 months MOT (30th April) Mileage 160k, engine rebuilt 50k miles back, ignition barrel replaced last week, new battery, all tyres good as are wheels, sunroof works, tidy, clean and...

I've been gifted a pair of front brake discs for an R230 SL55 AMG. Could they be retro fitted to my R129 SL500 and if they could would it be worth the effort? Thanks for any help and advice.

On my CE300, my wife's been using it this week and has complained the ignition has been very stiff.....today the key just won't turn in the ignition and the steering is locked. Any suggestions how to release it?

Great win against the Aussies today, absolutely brilliant, gutsy, back to the wall performance!

As the title says early start 4am, two of us in a van, errecting one of our small buildings and back again in a day. We're sharing the driving so I've downloaded on to my iPhone 3 films to help pass away the driving breaks, I've gone for All The Presidents Men, The Hunt for Red October and...

I know I'm a bit old but always thought I at least understood recent social, cultural and venacular development, but" BORKED" has defeated me. Is it something I should aim to be, would I enjoy a good "bork" Can someone help me please, including how and when I should do it and could it happen...

My wife had a major event on the M25 in her 2004 320 CLK when it stalled/engine suddenly stopped without any warning. Jayne was in the outside lane, keeping up with traffic, so 75-80, when all of a sudden she was powerless, she managed to drift across from lane to lane with much flashing of...

It's reported the government will today announce the go ahead for the next two phases of the UK High Speed rail network, at the astounding cost of £32 billion. Having followed the debate such as its been, I've tried to ignore the NIMBY comments, valid thought they are, and the equally valid...

So Mark Cavendish is BBC Sports Personality of the Year......with a quite remarkable 49.47% of the vote, no I just don't believe it. The fact that most sports fans couldn't pick him out of a line up is almost irrelevant, but true, I just can't believe that in a field of ten, one gets half the...

Just watching the film with Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Cloney et al, what a load of sentimental old b******s......absolutely brilliant, with all the carp going at the moment it's great to watch something with the feel good factor.

The engine of my 1998 SL500 R129 suffered a massive failure today. I had the car recovered straight to my specialist who reckons a conrod has smashed a hole in the casing, the starter has been ripped from its housing and bits of piston are in the gearbox! All in all a complete mess, so I'm...

Having just bought a new, to me anyway, car a W126 500SE and my wife spending a few days with me in our northern base with her incredibly pretty CLK 32O Avantgarde I decided to get the Banana out of the garage and get a group shot whilst also taking a few pics of the W126 to post on here. The...

I rather like the Spring Mounted Mercedes Emblem on the bonnet of my W126 and wonder whether I can retro fit the same to my R129

Since buying the SL I've done so many more miles than I had ever planned in it, in fact 33,000 in 27 months.The sheer joy of it has been compulsive and my other car, the BMW 530d whilst being worthy is just so boring I haven't driven it since last October, in fact it's currently SORN'd and the...
