    Jacking up my W169 A-class

    For some dumb reason I would like to paint my Brake calipers. My axle stands are about 14 inches high so the car will require a decent lift to get it on 'em. I've looked at "home use" trolley jacks but not sure if they will go under the car's skirts. Looked at Bottle jacks but they no longer...

    Hi (not sure if this is the best place to post this) I've had a W-168 A160 on a 51 plate since the summer. The central locking was working fine, but has started to play up a bit a couple of months ago and not lifting the buttons on the rear doors on a single press. You can get them all to...
