    R170 230K

    Not the most amazing car in the word but as a fun little runaround this looks bloody great for the money. Last of the M111 engine and just new enough to be galvanised (?). https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1352329

    Old (duplex) timing chains better than new?

    The theory being that 1) the old chain is polished by the guides over time so runs with less friction than a new one 2) the original Mercedes duplex chains are basically indestructible and don’t stretch even after 500k miles. 20 mins or so in… I’m guessing this doesn’t apply to the M271!

    Pitted metal, paint?

    There are a few patches of pitted metal on the rear window surround which I need to paint before having the rear window refitted. They have been ground back with an angle grinder as much as possible. Any thoughts on what to paint them with? I have a tin of POR 15 but would a few coats of epoxy...

    Car windscreen Herts, recommendations?

    Not sure where to ask but can anyone recommend a good car windscreen/glazier who cover the Herts/N.London area? I need the 190’s rear window removed/refitted as leaking. I’ve had it done twice before, including a new seal (no rust on the lip at all). It’s getting tedious so need it done right...

    Stainless exhaust - on a diesel?

    My rear exhaust has finally holed through. I spotted this on ebay - £280 for a bespoke cat back system, fitted & done. An aftermarket rear box at euro's is the same price...

    Sealer for old rubber trim/seals?

    I’m giving the 190 a serious clean up since getting it back from the bodyshop - clay, polish etc. The rubber seals & trims around the windows are ageing and leave black hoop over the paintwork. I’ve removed, cleaned and tried silicone spray. Still does it. It’s bloody irritating! Is there...

    Weak A/C, thoughts?

    209 clk It works but it’s weak and struggles on a hot day. I really want it Siberia blizzard cold. The filter is new. I had it re-charged last year. The first garage evac’d the system but couldn’t get it to accept freon so it was left dead. The second garage had the same problem but got it...

    How serious is this damage?

    The 190 has had a lowish speed bump on the left corner (not me!). It needs a new bumper, left headlight and wing. Probably bonnet. More concerning is the crumpling to the inner wing. Just how hard would this be for a body shop to straighten? The rails look fine. Just wondering whether it’s...

    190E Wiper woes

    The stoopid plastic gear has stripped a tooth. The gears dont seem to be available new and there are no s/h linkages on ebay at the mo. Anyone know if the arm piece with the tooth from a W124 would fit the 190's wiper gearbox? The rest of the mechanism is in great condition. Another option is...

    Heater blower CLK

    Have an annoying problem with my CLK's heater blower - it randomly stops working and then starts again out of the blue. I have tried: - a used fan - another control panel - checking fuses Unfortunately it persists. Any thoughts? I suspect no codes would pop on a scanner. I guess the used fan...

    Heater blower noise (CLK 209)

    My heater/ac intermittently makes an annoying groany/whistly sort of noise which goes when switched to "0"/off. I've popped the fan out but can't see anything wrong with it, it spins very smoothly. Whether the ac is on or off makes no difference. Any thoughts? The filter is new.

    Wiring dash cam 209?

    Ideally I would like to use a fuse piggy back. I read in another thread that none of the fuses behind the dash cover are a switched live - is this correct? I would rather not splice/cut into any original wiring. Otherwise I guess the only other option will be to fit a USB socket to the ciggy...

    Removing leather seat covers

    How hard is it to remove front seat covers? Is this DIYable without wrecking the seats? Its for a 209 CLK with manual seats but I'm guessing it's much the same for any Merc. My aim is to fit heated pads - I have already fitted a harness and switch panel but bottle-jobbed taking the seat apart...
