alternatives

OK so anyone who owns one of these cars will know that the suspension is very unforgiving... I've owned many cars over the years with sports suspension (standard or aftermarket), but this cars standard setup really takes the biscuit. So I'm now looking into alternatives. Don't get me wrong I...

Hi guy, I'm aware of the website Drive the Deal, but the options they list are not quite inline with the buying choices from the official MB website, therefore, can anyone tell me if there are alternatives to bash out a deal with? Thanks

Hi Guys I am new here so please accept my apologies if this subject has been covered but after having my C63 for a week or so I am finding the Comand very limited (unless I am missing something) also my Sat Nav doesn't know where the car is so probably a GPS antenna on its way out.I was...

So, out I go to the car and flat tyre. I look over the wheel and it's not the tyre, another f***ing crack in the OE Ed 125 black multi spokes. I'm sick of this now, this has happened on one of the newer wheels (all replaced originally under warranty due to cracks) so clearly new AMG wheels are...

Hello all I wanted to get wheel alignment sorted on the E500 to make sure it's dead on. I am due to replace the rear suspension bushes and arms etc. so should I wait until this is done first? Also, MB charge £280-£320 inc VAT and anything else required - is this in line with how much it...

hello can anyone tell me if the drive kit plus for the iphone exists ? as all the mercedes dealers i have spoken to deny its existence or say it is incompatible with a 2015 A Class or That it will not let you use one of the iphone sat/navs on the a class screen ( i do not want to use the becker...

Hi all, I have an amateur understanding of the inner working of cars at best. However I'd love to look at all the options to have some fun adding stuff under the hood. Just wanted opinions of this Weistec gear, and suggestions of any other parts. Weistec Turbochargers & Accesories -...

Have a few minor swirls and scratches on my c class.. What's the best product to use.. I've used t cut in the past on other cars but is there anything else which could be recommended and does a better job. Car colour is silver iridium. Thanks in advance

Hi everyone, My W220 comand does not work properly; sometimes I cannot eject CDs and sometimes the command does not turn on. So, I was thinking about replacing it. What are good alternatives to the Mercedes comand? Thanks! :rock:

It seems a bit odd to me that M-B stick radios in new SLs that do not have DAB as standard. My old C Class had it, so why is it a cost extra on a more expensive "flagship" model? Anyway rant over. My SL does not have DAB, therefore I need to look for alternatives if I want to listen to Test...

My parents run an Access Database that lists their instructions and file numbers. I think I designed it about 13 years ago. They've just upgraded their computers and are complaining that they can't get to the database. I suspect that they have not got Access within the Office suite. As...

I've been thinking of trying to monetise one of my sites... but after having a read through some reviews of adsense, I'm not sure I want to use them. Has anyone had experience with any other providers? M.

Planning an ECU remap for my 320CDi. Wondered whether anyone could recommend alternatives in the North West of England Thanks Steve

The brakes on my 203 estate need replacing and I was wondering what the alternative is to using OEM parts? The standard brakes simply don't provide enough 'bite', very spongy and frankly past their best. I was thinking of Brembo discs, ebc greenstuff pads and braided hoses, has anyone got...

Due to the current Mrs Mudsters Mulitple Sclerosis, we're looking for a something a bit easier for here to get in and out of. She can still walk under her own steam with a stick or two but needs help getting up and down for seating. Luckily she has full motability so we have a real good choice...

Hello, With the recent increase in fuel and more planned, how much would fuel have to become per Gallon to make us seriously look at alternatives. I mean either a car that does more mpg, an electric car, gas or other form of fuel and also public transport / bikes. I only do around 6K miles...

A very hypothetical question thank heavens, but if someone was to wave a magic wand and Mercedes cars ceased to be......what other make/model of car would you buy? I have been thinking about this and a few obvious and not so obvious answers have sprung to mind, but all rejected for one reason or...

I have three pre-1992 cars - including my W126 560 SEC - with a/c systems running on R12. I'm hoping that as long as I run the a/c periodically to keep the circulation going and the seals lubricated, things will be OK. But I fear it's inevitable that re-gassing will be necessary at some point...

I've already got the AMG rear bumper, C32 exhaust & AMG side skirts. 1. I am still looking for an AMG front bumper (or bumper skin) for my W203, although I really don't want to pay main dealer prices! The AMG skin itself is about £400, then you need the wire mesh inserts & replace foglights...

Hi Drivers side mirror glass is very slightly cracked and going discoloured, checked with MB and they want £150 + vat just for the mirror glass. Does the normal non dipping glass fit straight on or anyone know where i could get a glass cheaper. Oh car is 98 E300TD estate Thanks, 230K
