Hoping there may be a Glasgow local around that can advise. I'm picking up a mates son and new bride on Saturday afternoon at the Botanic Gardens and dropping at Sloans on Argyle Street or as close as I can get for the reception. I know Argyle Street etc. have the Bus Gates now but I'm...

Anyone interested in seeing the full renovation of our recently purchased factory building ? Should be interesting as there has been a lot of work so far and still lots lots more to do. We really miss having the workshop, ramp etc. and a good area for doing the Imp restorations so the work...

Just wondering if anyone will be at the General Meeting (Leicester Hilton) for the MBOC on 31/07/22 ? Think I'm driving down on 30th, was going to fly to Birmingham but looks like bus replaces trains between Birmingham & Leicester so just going to drive. Staying Saturday but thinking of...

W212 Front Radiator Grill / Pre Facelift A2128801083 or A2128801083 9040 Must be excellent condition.

Thinking of building a new garage next to the house round the back to put the Imp and my tools etc. in it. Car is currently in garage attached to the house which I'd like to use as a workshop so need it emptied. Thinking wood will be preferred choice rather than metal due to...

Given the amount we are seeing about serious corrosion issues on some modern Mercedes I thought this appropriate. One of the boys 2007 Honda Civic went in for an MOT. Never had any mention of corrosion on any of the previous MOTs. Last few years only tyres, brake discs and a leaking shock ever...

Early LWB one with no supercharger. 1 owner from new, 200k miles, dealer service to 170k. Failed MOT on a little welding (I've checked). Am I mad to buy this?

Got this message on one of the mates W211 today. On checking the code it is Service Threshold Reached. Pump brushes look very bad, going to decide over next day or two if it is to have a new pump.

Some bikers seem to have a death wish.

W211 Bootlid complete in 744 Silver. Great condition with key blade. Has the trim painted black as can be seen. Bought this about a year ago to fit onto the old W211 but only just unwrapped it today and I've now sold the car. :) £200, collection Stirling. Can pack for shipping if required.

Anyone care to hazard a guess at resale value? 238k miles, 2004. Perfect last 4 MOTs, no advisories. I'm real stuck for room so could do with getting rid of this one but I'm not going to if it's not worth much. New Torque Convertor and all suspension arms at 208k. Lots of work done, conductor...

Looking to add ISO Fix to Left (Passenger/Near side) on one of the W211 with split folding rear seats. Finish is not so important but black leather would match rest of car.

Had to top up the Power Steering fluid in the old W211 the other day. Noticed small amount of fluid coming out of the undertrays over past couple of days. Removed undertrays and could see that Right side of steering rack (where hose from pump goes in) was quite wet. Cleaned everything up then...

Any Gas Safe people here. Installing a new hob here. Well waiting on a gas guy getting back to me for past 2 days! Always thought a Gas Hob needed a rigid copper connection but have seen the Midbrass Hob Mate Connecting Hose. http://midbrass.co.uk/products/gas/hob-mate/ A flexible connection...

Anyone recommend a Wireless IP outdoor camera with IR and ONVIF (£50?) support for cloud streaming? Ideally one on Amazon (prime). Having just had a look I see a lot of the ones being sold are locked down so can't use our own server or the likes of Mangocam to do the cloud recording. I still...

I've got a brick garage on side of house where my boiler is, well insulated apart from the door which I plan to insulate or change to a roller door. We have about a dozen radiators in the house, tend to leave 2 or 3 of them off/down low with the empty room doors closed and just on the one heat...

I've just cancelled my Sky TV after over 2 decades. Realised I was paying £53 a month for stuff we no longer watch. We watch Netflix, Amazon, Disney+, Discovery+, almost everything streamed now. Almost never turn the TV on to watch what is "live". If we do turn it on we watch whatever is on...

2003 Mercedes E55 AMG What do folks think about this one? Scratching my head myself. Why on earch fit a bumper without painting it first, the headlights urgh!

Wheels Refurbished locally recently. They had the standard wheel rot in the middle after being Diamond Cut refurbed back in summer 2017. Also some of the paint was flaking off and underneath did not look to be "keyed". Been quite bad far more than a year now so the Diamond Cut refurbishment...

Had a look at one of the W212s wheel bolts. These appear to be standard Mercedes acceptable quality. ;) Had a ponder over various way to get them back to as new and decided on the following. STAGE 1 Wire wheel to remove most the rust. Some will still be left in the pitted areas. I'll...
