I don't get on here enough these days, but felt I needed to share this. Only thing needed sorting was n/s track rod end. Total for test,labour,parts and VAT was a shade over £170. Looks like I'm keeping it another 12 months!!

Thanks for the help guys, i think i might need new shocks whatever i do with the tyres as i don't know when they were changed, if it all. As for scraping, we've decided to have the arches rolled when the imminent respray happens once we've fitted the 16v bodykit thats cluttering up the garden.

Unlike most, instead of lowering, I would like to slightly raise and if possible heavy-duty-ise the suspension on my '93 190e. The problem is I upgraded to wheels off a CLK which are too big in diameter, the other half who drives it more than I do loves the look of the fat wheels but they scrape...

Just wondering if anyone can give any advice with this problem - when first started it idles around 750 after sounding like it only just wanted to fire and run, once up and running it hovers around 12-1300 when at operating temperature. I'm guessing this is far too fast an idle and it does make...

Hello to you all, just returned to this fine forum after a spell in the wilderness that is not owning a merc. Recently purchased a 93L 190e 2.0 off of fleabay for a little over 400 quid, not perfect by any means, but its straight, drives nice and is reasonably clean too. The only gripes I have...

I've just read this post again and can't believe how articulate i was, being riled must drag stuff out of my vocabulary that hides away normally. Thank you mister paris whatever-your-number for boosting my word power with your obsequiousness. There I go again.

This is the first time i've read this thread and was just wondering who had rattled paris2463's cage? Fair enough to defend a garage you know and trust but i detected no insinuation of any wrong doing by the garage and as for being quite personal towards rob77, there was no need at all. Have...

Put it to auction on Ebay and got 200 quid for it. Was collected this evening so for the time being i am a defector.

Three Cocks near Hay-on-Wye and just up the road near Hay Bluff is Lord Hereford's Knob, named after his nose incidentally. Also on A40 near me is Box Bush

I am with admiral myself, all i will say is don't opt for their breakdown cover as it is quite shocking, its worth paying for your own cover with what you save by not having theirs.

I wonder what the stats are for hybrid cars being broken into and laptops etc being stolen given this evidence.

Alas, the time has come for me to part with my beloved 190e. In the 18 or so months i have owned it i have grown to love driving it and have enjoyed almost all the journeys i have made in it. However i don't think that i am doing it any favours with the amount of use i am giving it these days...

Is that a 201 under the contents of the MB parts bin?

Its not my position to acquire the services of volunteers as such, but i appreciate the gesture. I haven't had to rely on the bowsers yet but would like them to be full when the time comes that i have to.

For those of us who were indie britpop kids in the 90's Blur v Oasis

Just thought i'd add my views being a gloucester resident. Luckily i missed the worst of the flash flooding being out of town fri-sun, but i did have a mad 'fill every container with water' period on sunday evening seeing as i wasn't sure when the taps would dry up, lucky i did really as...

Whats he hiding at the front end? notice theres no head on photo of the car, maybe its got a real nasty front 'spoiler' like mine had when i got it.

It looks like the props dept of a low budget 80's sci-fi movie have turned it into a car of the 21st century. Does that make sense, i hope so.

Was on M4 westbound this morn somewhere around J13 and saw SL 450 on a luxembourg reg'd W 202 estate of unknown variety. Maybe he used to own a different merc and transferred it.

It is somewhat of a status symbol to own LHD european cars in japan, especially if you are one of them gangster types with the missing little fingers.
