After getting my suspension sorted. I have decided to have a go at repairing a leaking transmission sump gasket, and from what I've learned I think a full transmission service should be done at the same time. What I can't really work out is when I drop the old oil does the car need to be up to...

The rear tyres on our clc need replacing and the size is 235/40/18. I just wanted to know if this is the correct 18inch tyre for the rear alloys on this car. I tried to check on the sticky at the beginning of this section but I can't find this tyre size for a clc. By the way the fronts are...

My e320 is off the road awaiting spares so I have been using my son's clc. I have noticed at low speed when you press the brakes car sort of slows down in a not so smooth way like the brake is applied and then quickly not applied ( it's hard to describe). At high speed when brakes are applied...
