I'm having some work done by an M-B dealership and in the usual way they've carried out a 'visual health check'. The technician has commented: 'Copper pipes fitted to sbc'. The pipes were fitted last year year by a superb indie and as far as I know there's no reason why they shouldn't be...

Hi guys, Just in the process of ordering some new wheels and the company were concerned that the wheels might not clear the callipers. The wheels in question are quantum44 S1's and are 19" being put onto a W212 E63. They have gave me attached diagram to fill out and wondering if anyone has...

I have recently began restoring a W202 C43 and have carried out all the work myself, although I am no mechanic (am a spark) I am practically minded and not adverse to getting my hands dirty. Its given me a great sense of achievement so far (sad I know), having replaced the springs, shocks, ball...

Hi All I am trying, without much luck to find a replacement for the above. Can anybody help me with the part number and if at all, a guide on how to change the unit. Thanks

HI There 320 SL (R129 v6) 1999 Hi there. Rebuilding my brakes (Brembo four pot) . Front brake splash guard plate is no longer available from Mercedes. Does any know if the backplate from another model will fit this car. Also, the old plates just fell off. Can anyone remember if the...

After many months of development, tests, prototypes, trials, etc, I have now completed the task, and am ready to offer to fellow car enthusiasts, an intelligent adaptive brake light system, with essentially the same functionality, as the high-end Mercedes built-in one, but at a fraction of the...

I'm replacing the brake disks and pads on my 2013 E250 Coupe. I did the fronts no problem and had intended to do the rears last weekend, however the upper caliper mounting bolt is obscured by a vertical tie bar of some sort, and clearance is limited such that you can't get a 37mm long 18mm 1/2"...

Only had brake fluid service done 2 years ago and have done about 5K miles since. Mercedes are saying its due again. Does it really need changing again?

As titled. Looking for a great spec in a dark colour. Must be the facelift model and 350 CDI bluetec engine. Low owners and mileage less than 25k preferred. Budget dependant on car but I have to be sensible ;)

Has anyone a set of W211 E55AMG Brake callipers, prefered in a good condition, but will consider a set due reconditioning, subject to price. Am already studying the ebay for such items, so just asking in case someone here has a decent set stored away some where, and not using them.;)

The 'Check Brake Pad Wear' warning light on my 2013 e-class illuminated for the first time today and I am wondering what percentage are the pads worn when this light comes on? Reason for asking this is that my car is due to be part exchanged in a month and I am relunctant to change the...

We've left the car parked for several months at my uncles warehouse... I wish I was joking but a bloody mouse has munched through the wiring to the brake booster's sender right at the multi plug.... ...And the furry little sod has nicked about 6 inches of loom So I've got several bare wires...

the rear brake pipes are corroded at the wheelarch and need replacing. MB quoted over £500 to do the job. Silly money. So anyone done the rear pipes on this car to give me an idea as to what goes where. The off side pipe runs from the flexible at the arch across the body to the near side arch...

The brake light come on so I order full set discs and pads. Replaced front with no problem. The problem starts with the rear one. One side ok on the other one I've got problem with removing one bolt. The bolts sits in the bearing carrier I think that's how it's called that part. It goes out few...

Hi, I’m new to club but would like some guidance from you wise people out there. I have a CLK270 registered in 2005. Trying to keep it going on a budget. Sometimes, upon stating, the ABS light stays on, then a "display faulty" is shown followed by "brake wear visit workshop" the ABS warning does...

Couldn't post on brakes section as app needs updating for iPhone (apparently) Bought the above pads for the sport package calipers on my 203. They are 122 mm wide with anti-squeal shims and DO NOT FIT. Fortunately I have a milling machine so can machine them down. Should be 120mm overall width!

Hi, I've gradually been going through the brakes of my S123 200T. About 10 years ago it had new brake disks & pads installed at a major service, but the calipers were left unattended - and now the caliper pistons have eventually started to seize. My focus is atm on the front calipers; Bendix...
