    c43 to c55 AMG conversion

    Yes i have been looking and it seems that the max torque is available from 2500 rev on the ml55 engine. To be honest being as the C43 is an auto i would have no problem at all with that !! The engine i have been offered is out of a 2003 ML that has covered 60,000 and the fella wants £600 that...

    Barn find C43 AMG Estate

    Hi Fella's just another quick update to say she is on the road !! No real problems apart from changing the plugs and leads being a bit off a pain in the ****. I replaced the MAF with a genuine Bosch item for good measure along with all the filters including the cabin filter and changed the oil...

    im thinking of buying a g wagon ????

    Sorry if this is a bit off topic but isn't the Toyota Landcruiser the most over enginnered 4x4 on the road ?

    W210 E55 AMG engine

    Hi i'm not sure what the going rate is....... but considering these engines very rarely go wrong and the limited amount of people willing to go down the route of dropping one in to a c class i would think between £500 £700 would be about right.

    C43 Euro Xenon Headlight adjustment

    O.k I have ordered a pair of u.k halogen headlights so that I can get an mot on the car this week. The only thing that bothers me is that I will not be able to hook the H7 bulbs up as the wiring that comes out of the ballast back for the hid / xenon bulb is different.

    Best C43 AMG in the country ?

    The wing does not look to match but that could be down to the camera flash. I get the feeling she has had some love the personalised number plate and the proper tailored reflective breathable car cover in the picture are not cheap.
