Burn out = insurance claim = new car that starts! Lol.

Will start using either.... Easy start spray or jump leads!? Hi all hope someone can shed some light on this. It started on Sunday we went out for a drive, I went to overtake and when I pressed the throttle fully the car stalled at 70ish mph in the fast lane :doh: car is auto by the way...

the wiper seems to be tensioned, if that makes any sence? so when you lay the wipers on the screen after fitting them seem to mould to the shape of the window. thats the only way i can think of describing it. the 307 is much worse, it has a major curve in the windscreen and no matter what...

Get coilovers Gunning, dont waste your time with (cutting) springs! i think that was the advice you give me mate? :rock:

Yeah thats true, its no 5 minute job. does take a bit of playing about as said, along with everything else. We have a vehicle repair shop at home, so deal with all sorts, and have seen all sorts of springs fly round the garage, not to metion breaking 2 windows and several flu tube lights in 1...

ok so maybe not a c class we're talkin about, but i use this company on ebay and have done for since they opened. Mercedes Benz C Class 00-03 Flat Aero Wiper Blades on eBay (end time 08-Feb-11 04:59:16 GMT) very well priced and fantastic quality, i have used these not only the merc but on the...

just to throw my 2pence worth, i used a normal spring compressor, it is a bit fiddley, but you can do it (just make sure and chain the spring for safety!) as for special tools, from memory we used an allen key and a good quiality ring spanner to remove the strut bearing. just have a good look...

oh thats not cheap at all. alot of ones say about harsh ride, ive drove a few cars with 19's and found it not bad, but then again ive come from an 86 mini slammed on 13x7's to the merc so maybe i dont notice it as much! lol

Yeah the joys of 'rubber bands' :crazy: thats one of the reasons why im in 2 minds, that and i dont want to buy the 18's and then think to myself wish i hadve gone for the 19's. :doh:

hmm, i wouldnt have thought those wheels were tacky. i found a car with similar wheels and thought it looked quite well! ......like so

thanks for your input paul!

hey all, i have a w203 with 17's at present, but want to change to these- 18" S VOL ALLOY WHEELS ONLY MERCEDES CLK63 AMG on eBay (end time 20-Jan-11 18:43:23 GMT) i can them in both 18's and 19's. The car is lowered 40mm all round with apex springs. just wondering if there would be any...

oh defo the 22's, they are gorgeous!

HI all, im wanting to change my bumpers to the AMG 1's. is it just a case of changing the outer bumper (skin?) or do i need the whole lot? Thanks danny

any ideas as to why so many faults are showing?

hey lopes, that is a gorgeous looking merc! top job! :thumb:

Hi guys, thanks for the relies. had diagnostics read and this is what ive come back with:- electric heater booster glow plugs rail pressure monitoring fuel pressure control valve charge pressure control hot film MAF sensor got this read after the car died accelorating to 40mph, car went off...

i find meguairs #16 wax great, its about £12 a tin, but its really easy to use. you need very little of it too. i use 2 coats on c220 (silver) good long lasting! :D

i use meguairs on the c class. again depending on the paintwork - if it needs a good clean, the ultimate compound can be used by hand or DA. and finish with meguairs #16 wax. both products are very cost effective. might be worth using clay first for best results. :thumb: danny ocdetailingni

hi simon, thanks for the welcome! yeah i just dont understand that when i connect a fresh plug to the live cable of number 3 it doesnt pre-heat as it should instead it heats after the car is started (when the starter motor is near burnt out! lol) im thinking maybe a relay issue? ill have a...
