    Tyre Skipping: Now it's my fault for buying a car with 20 inch rims.

    I've just watched the videos on YouTube and oh dear that's bad! And by the way one even had 19inch wheels with summer tyres and still had the same issue. To me it looks like Mercedes have messed up the suspension/steering geometry, when you steer both front wheels don't turn in/out the same...

    Rear tyre extreme wear on one wheel. W211?

    Mercedes are generally heavy on rear tyres and do wear quicker on the inside especially if under inflated. There could be suspension issues but I'd point to under inflation given its worn on both the inside and the outside, 27psi is low I run mine at 34 on the rear and the tyre wear very even...

    Park on drive , or not ...

    Personality I think cctv is a waste of time, 1-people put the cameras too high thus you can't see their faces 2-unless you spend a fortune the night picture quality is poor 3-only takes a hood and a scarf and the cctv is useless. If they want it then they will get it, put it on the drive and be...

    Hi (again)

    Yep afraid so! Really is sluggish, mid range power is ok but nothing to get excited about. Go for the v8, more bang for the buck

    Hi (again)

    Personally I wouldn't bother with the 3.2, it's heavy on fuel and pretty sluggish. I had one for two years and wasn't impressed at all.

    Big End Bearing Replacement SLK 320

    Personally I wouldn't bother if it's knocking the damage has been done, how do u intend getting the shells out without removing the crankshaft? Not that easy! Doing a half job is pointless if u ask me

    W163 ML 500 | Cracked block?

    Sounds like u have a partially blocked rad. I had very similar problems with a van I was working on, everything pointed to the head gasket but with further inspections the bottom of the rad was blocked tried to flush it out but the sediment wasn't shifting, new rad and all was fine

    Faulty clutch: Can I claim for expenses?

    In no way is the mechanic at fault, there is no way he will know it's the wrong part until the old one is removed so there for labour charge will still stand. You supplied the part so I'm afraid he was only doing as instructed by yourself It's the chance you take when you supply parts. Fault...
