Heres what I found when investigating why my Front Drivers jacking point had sunk about 1.5cm into the bodywork :(
Either a repair section or some nifty welding required
Hi, I have suddenly started a loud creaking from the steering seems, from the left side, it's not the boot as +- 90° on the steering it's silent then it creeks as the road wheels start to pivot, up down seems fine. Moving or stationary it noisy applying large steering angle.
It started after a...
Seller appears to have batches of brand new seat belts for the above models.
The drivers belt on my w124 doesn't retract especially well, and I'm sure there are plenty other cars out there that could benefit from these. Maybe an enterprising soul could buy these and punt them on to members...
I'm replacing my diesel pump on my 1997 E300 Turbo Diesel and need a tool to secure the cam timing on the pump before removing the old pump. Please could anyone suggest where I can get this tool/bolt? Thanks.
On Tuesday evening i had to park the car on a narrow unlit lane for a while, so I folded the door mirrors for the first time in months to prevent them being knocked off. They folded fine. But then I forgot to open them out again. :doh:
Yesterday, I went to work in the other car, and when I...
I'd like to know some more about the dimming capabilities of my driver's door mirror. I know there's some dark fluid between the front pane and the back panel. So:
1) How does the dimming work? Is the current tint permanent and fixed, or does it vary according to who is in the car. :dk:
My business partner keeps grounding his 210 (the roads are dreadful near him) and it isn't doing anything any good. Is there some way to improve this like shims or changing springs or spring rates? It would be cheaper than changing to a shagged out old 4x4 (which is all he could afford).
How easy would it be to replace the existing engine and transmission in a W124 estate with the turbodiesel and 5 speed from a W210? I love the engine and transmission, but don't like the rust of an early 210, while I love the W124 multivalve but would like a bit more oomph and a 5 speed box...
Searched the forums and couldn't find such a thing for a 210. Having done a lot of research here is what I've come up with and will be using as a checklist when i make my purchase. Anything anyone wants to add, comment on?
(In no particular order!)
• Vin: Does it match car and...
Having previously run a couple of 124's with over 400K on them, I'm wondering what high mileages people are running 210's to?
About to buy one with 180K on the clock - with the right tlc will I be able to double this?
Cheers!
Tim.
On a S210, can anyone confirm if Avantgarde suspension set up is lower, the same or higher than the Standard Sports Chassis?
I'm returning my car to Standard Sports Chassis and want to establish if I can fit 245/40/18 tyres on 8" rims. Rears are no problem but the fronts may be too little...
I have a 98 E430 and my SRS light is on. I have some seats from a 01 E430. I was told from the dealership that it is my front passenger seat SRS sensor. I bought an emulator but the light is still on after I installed emulator. I attached it to the red,white, and black cables underneath the seat...

Hi Guys,
Looking for E55...I have money waiting for the right car and will quite happily view and pay and drive away the right one!
Cheers

:cool:
Is the base cushion in permanent or does it fold over into the floor?
Trying to make sense of all of my bits.
Pics would be even better :)
PS Less than impressed at the rotten body behind the bumper, below the cd changer, even though par for the course.
Have to visit bodywork man :(
Just checking over the car this weekend, i noticed evidence of oil exiting the engine (not a leak, as such) and wondered what this component is?
I'm looking at the rectangular component just to the left of the oil filter housing. It has ribs around its surface and two metal pipes going into...
