I put the 255/45/18 Michelin Primacy wheels and tyres back on the S Class this week to replace my ‘summer’ 255/40/19 Dunlop SP01 tyres I used since March. I have been making some efficiency gains over the last few months by lowering the car and running slightly higher tyre pressures. (36 v...

I have just bought an E320 cabrio Sportline 1994. It has factory fit 205/15 wheels on 7J rims. I've seen advice that 16 or 17 inch wheels might improve handling. Has anyone any advice on this? Can you just put bigger wheels on? Does it affect speedo readings and milometer accuracy? Martin

I'm hoping someone on here can help me out, please. I know an option on the '124 series (saloons and coupes at least) was to have a 90 litre fuel tank. Does anyone know if this option decreased boot space? If so, by how much? (The reason I ask, because I'd like to know if a smaller boot carpet...

I have the possibility of changing the standard kompressor on my C180k for the C230K one. Both engines are the 1.8 M271 but in difference stages of tune. Given that my car has allegedly 143bhp and the C230k had with this engine 193bhp should I change. Miro has explored the differences in the...

I know brembo and stop tech do big brake kits, but is it possible to use the discs and calipers from say a W210 to fit a W202?

Some of you may know that i'm in the process of giving the beast a stage 1 upgrade, ive been told that the new BIGGER supercharger pulley will singnificatly increase hp by 40/45bhp at the wheels and that the pulley is 7in in diameter as opposed to 5.96in stock.

Hello, Probably goes against a lot of what people think but I like large wheels, upgraded almost every car with larger / wider tyres etc. I prefer the looks. Anyway even the Bus I think would look better with bigger wheels so am toying with the idea of what I could get. My qustion is...

I've just had a letter from Transport for London about the Greater London Low Emission Zone and how it effects diesel-engined lorries, buses, coache, large vans and minibuses. Now the last time I looked Knaresborough was about 200 miles away from Greater London and Edna was petrol powered and...

Yesterday I had a look at replacing the lower front suspension balljoints on my '99 E240 Estate while I was replacing discs and pads. I have the new ball joints and experimented with splitting the joint from the Swivel Hub with no luck. The ball joint splitter I have is too small so I tried...

Can anybody tell me if they have changed the disks, pads, and calipers to some off a car higher in the range. The reason i want to this is because the brake set up isn't good enough for my liking(i drive like michael schumacher and the brakes don't pull up quick enough;) ) and my last car had...

Hi, I was looking at my steering (see other post) and I've just noticed that my front tyres are 205 and the rears are 195. Is this correct? Shurely shome mishtake? (I have the standard factory alloys) Thanks Nick Mann 1997 c240 Elegance Estate
