Hi, It's been a while since I posted on here, I've been sans Mercedes for a few years until a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, my return to the marque is already tainted somewhat! I have a '00 W203 C220CDi, on which I recently replaced the rear SAM after it was knackered by an un-knowing...

Hi all, Its been a while since I've posted on here, but I'm hoping the wealth of knowledge will be able to help out :) A friend has asked me if I knew of anything specific to look out for when buying a used ML280, '07 reg. He doesn't have a particular one in mind, he and his wife just like...

Hi people, I've had a search through other posts but can't seem to find anyone having the same problem as my old man is. His 2002 W203 220 CDI seems to start fine most of the time, but occasionally and when he needs it most (as is always the case :rolleyes: ) it just will not start. The car...

Took some pics of my 1.8's big brother. I bought the car on 30th December, drove it back from Essex to Glasgow in time for the legendary Scottish Hogmanay festivities! Have to say it was a rather enjoyable 9 hour drive:D 1989, totally standard, full leather, aircon, heated seats plus the...

Well, I tried to sell this bodykit about 18months or so ago, possibly longer. I ended up agreeing to sell it to a friend of a friend and, to cut a long story short, he never paid up after saying for months he'd "get the money". So, its been sat in my shed for some time now, the spiders being...

Hi, not posted for ages, had a generally busy life recently and motoring took an unfortunate back seat, so to speak. So, now that I'm back on track I'm thinking about a getting C280 Sport W202. My 190 is still going strong, but I'm getting a bit bored of it and the 1.8 engine is seriously...

Hi, a few pics of my '91 190E 1.8 manual. Colour coded impact strips, mirrors and door handles; Staggered AMG Styling IIs, Khumo Ecstas; Custom (quiet!) Stainless Full system. Still to come: AMG Ducktail rear spoiler and Sportline/Eibach suspension (new front top-mounts soon too...!)...

Hi, I've been gatting a few quotes to get a new Cat 1 alarm fitted to my 190. I got a good price of £245 fitted for a cat1 Toad alarm at a local approved place. The thing is, I got a phone call, after a request, from GAP security. The guy there said that Toad alarms are a waste of time...

Anyone else think the descriptions if these are too similar (ie dodgy) or someones just been lazy and copied the other? Black C36 Silver C36 Even the Tax/MOT, wheel damage, all looks a bit suss to me. :eek:

Hi peeps, quick response required! :o My friends just asked im'd me asking if I know much about Merc Diesels. I told him I don't but know just the people who do! What are the '96 E-class diesels like, reliability, fuel consumption etc? Anyone here had any major probs? Also , is this a...

Hi peeps, posting on behalf of a friend! He's got a '95 C200 sport with standard suspension and was wondering what would be the widest possible wheel/tyre combination he could run on front and back (no arch/fender mods)? Probably in 18" diameter. I had AMGs in 7.5x17 with 225/45 front and...

:mad: Hmmmm, somethings missing.....and no, not the reg number :lol: I hate the freaks that do things like this. They left my front though, and no scratches. Unlike my mate's Cooper S which is quite badly scratched but should be covered up by the new badge. Oh, and forgot to...

Reading this months evo magazine rekindled an old question I forgot to investigate. Why does the Ferrari F40 have three tailpipes? It's a V8 twin turbo, so you'd expect an even number of pipes, but looking at pics it seems to have one exhaust for each bank of cylinders/individual turbo and one...

Just found my old car on Ebay.....poor thing! :rolleyes: Those with a deep loving of all things w202 look away now.. Old c230k

After holding on to my hopes of getting a new w202 to fit my Wald kit to I've finally given up. Other commitments mean i'm keeping my 190e so the w202 kit is up for sale. I realise this won't appeal to most members on here but (perhaps being abit biased as I bought it ;) ) I think it'll make...

Hi peeps. Bit of a long shot this one, but would anyone like to swap 2x 215/45/17 and 2x 235/40/17 tyres for my 2x 225/45/17 and 2x 245/40/17 Falken 512's with 6mm tread, about 18 months old but only covered 2000ish miles- they were my spares and have about 6mm tread left on them. Would be...

Good for someone who's got the time to fit the electric looms! EDIT: My links aren't working :confused: so search for mercedes leather and its about 5th or 6th down the list.

Hi peeps, I was behind a 51 plate E320(I think) today and I noticed it had a rear badge that was just the star without the circle surrounding it. I tried a quick search here as well as mercedes UK and autotrader but couldn't find anything (the tools are only as good as the tradesman :o )...

Spotted these http://www.gsfcarparts.com/brembo/ (bottom of page for mercedes) while looking for shocks. Seems like a good price, and Brembo have a good rep. Might be an option for anyone changing their discs soon. My brother had brembos on his Cosworth and they were pretty sh*t hot(as in good...

Hi peeps. I'm trying to get hold of a single 7.5x17" AMG Styling 2 (monoblock style) alloy. Not too bothered abou condition, as long as it's not bent/buckled. Cash paid if localish. Ta,
