Do it Most people in the know do.. Run flats are a harsh ride and can damage wheels if not used correctly (yes there is a correct way to use them) Just be prepared for what happens if you get a flat tyre... maybe a few cans of tyre repair gunk and breakdown cover... better than damaging the...

Woah this is an interesting discussion ! SOme very blunt but realistic replies here Im into my 10years + cars so ill waffle on abit here . hopefully makes sense But I think some of these cars, as great as they are or were, need to drop in price and I think that time has actually come...

Our Prices - Wheel Refurbishing Thanks for this tip - its rare to find a place that CLEARLY shows a pricing structure and the pricing seems more than reasonable Always worth asking to see completed work in the flesh

Its all about the offsets Offset determines where the wheel sits and that determines what tyre you can run without rubbing

Hi does your car loose coolant when parked up? Unrelated to my question but heres some links to what Ive found (I have the same om651 engine )  Mercedes CDI 2.1 coolant leak Fuel Filter housing - coolant leak Another OM651 coolant leak Coolant Leak Source W212 E250 OM651 ? C.H...

Thanks really helpful as I was trying to work out how the hard metal pipes fitted into the hex nut area - one of my pipes is loose and causiong the slight trickle leak - and now your message makes sense to what possibly could have happened to mine. FUnny as this car had FMBSH and a recent...

Thanks for your message Did you buy the seals from MErcedes and get them done or did it go into the dealers? Im wondering if its DIY level to change them (mine has a trickle leak from the lower left one) I considered swapping the cooler, but the car doesnt overheat or act up at all its just a...

Hi anyone got any ideas on this? Thanks

When I see these inconsiderate drivers I just get ahead and away from them as soon as possible and try not to let their poor observation skill or laziness bother me. Not worth it youll only wind yourself up some people are not as confident on the road to be fair so stick to their lane

Find the prices of the parts then call a few garages and ask for a labour cost. Tyre & exhaust outfits are usually good at this sort of thing its what they do daily. I think its around 50/60 for each axle labour this way so 100/120 Labour plus parts. Try Euro carparts and carparts for less...

the pioneer looks super smart and sophisticated suits the CLK image well! I hardwired the speakers from bose to a facelift factory stereo once... it was easy after I did the hard work finding the wires The facelift panels make a nice smart change I would go aftermarket personally ... unless...

wow you have become an expert over the space of a few posts - who needs the halfords chap now! lol joking I have a w204 but i dont think I have the manual, Im not near my paperwork or I would check. Good for me to know too .. Ok I research in a different way so this is what Ive found A001 989...

Nice improvement - im guessing it was a deep down and dirty clean with all the engine casings and parts housings etc all cleaned up? Ive done it plenty of times with wd40 (cheap alternative brand ) &old sock/t shirt / clothes that are going to be thrown away and Ive even loosened up the dirt...

interesting experience youve had there, hopefully will give someone an option to try if something similar ever happens ..

from what I remember - and there was alot to remember lol it was the front battery which was the starter and main battery yes but it reset the clocks. I think the battery in boot is the sensitive one. Its the main one up front that matters - removed clamps when had welding done and changed...

Fair enough if youve tried and tested I guess some people arent as carefull / not ideal for a daily driver perhaps I never even realised the new cars were capable of 22s with ease so I would be interested to see a photo of them on the car if you get them Also try 4x4 tyres.com for tyres...

Hi also feel wheels are a personal thing, if you like the wheel design it should be enough to make your descision. You can ruin a wheel choice by making the wrong choice in tyres . Wheels can make the car but tyres can make the wheels! The black directionals on the estate above are nice :D OP...

Most of the adverts from sellers who are into the car scene will hide the plate I found. The average joe probably doesnt care /cant be bothered or isnt aware of the risks of exposing your numberplate online im sure if it was a write off they would mention it in the advert. its not like hiding...

Not enough bounce not enough protection between rim and road ontop of that maybe possible that if your air pressure is slightly off you will be at higher risk than say something with a thicker tyre (as youre already close to the tarmac) Seriously, its the danger zone Yes can look bad-assh but...
