Hi All During a recent pad and disc change on my 2005 CL500 we found that both rear calipers had seized pistons. I've sourced and replaced the O/S caliper but the N/S is proving almost impossible to source. I've had an order in with MB Oxford for nearly 2 months now and they say that...

Hi there hoping someone can help with this! Occasionally when driving a very loud air leak noise appears from the brake pedal, and this noise disappears once I press the pedal and activate the brakes. Anyone know Why would this happen? And whether it is expensive to repair. Then takes feel...

Hi All I have a 2011 Auto E250 with the foot operated parking brake, I'm in the habit of always using the parking brake when I've parked the car, the salesperson however had advised just putting it into Park is enough.. Any thoughts?

Hi, I'm about to do some DIY maintenance on my 2011 W204; changing front and rear discs and pads. Does anyone have the recommended torque settings for: 1) Brake slider bolts, front and rear, 2) Caliper bolts, front and rear. Any other useful advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

Just had MOT on my 2010 W204 Cdi estate, and the MOT inspector showed me the rear steel lines and advised me to grease them up before the winter as there was quite a bit of surface rust on them. He's put it down as an advisory. Anyone else had this and what would you advise as a coating to put...

My C63 needs the front and rear brake pads replaced soon. What's the general cost of labour from an Indy to have them replaced if I supply the parts? Called a garage yesterday and they quoted me £90 to fit front and rear. Sound reasonable?

hi guys anyone know where i can buy the brake pipes from? had a look on ECP and GFS but can't find anything on their website cheers

99 SL500, when I press the brake pedal I hear air hiss. It is not a constant hiss,only when I press the pedal when the pedal stops the hiss stops. What do I need to replace ? Also,can not get shifter out of park unless push brake pedal very hard. Thank you.

Bloody annoying if you ask me. Especially driving around london with all the noises it makes

Hi All, I am struggling to find Drilled Rear brake Discs, For my Mercedes C204. Its only a 220. I think only Tarox can help me. I just wanted to match them up with the Front Discs, and yeah its just for looks as the current ones do a fair job! Then Going to Put some Red Stuff Pads in also...

Hi folks, really needing help track done Some upgraded brakes for my 2012 Vito Sport X :

Have any of you guys got any experience of the racing brake upgrade up to BS size? http://www.racingbrake.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=MB%2DIRK%2D02 The stock brembos are great but with the added power of the SC I am considering an upgrade. Not cheap at £3300.00 but the reviews on MB World...

I've noticed that if I leave the car a couple of days pulling the dash lever to disengage the parking brake doesn't work immediately and the dash exclamation mark stays on. I seem to have to creep the car backwards (parked nose in) and keep trying and it will come off after a coupe of goes...

I know this is something that has been talked about a lot on various forums, but I'd just like to pick your collective brains on whether you think doing this DIY is effective enough to make it worthwhile. This is one of the jobs I need to do on my 'new' W211 and I usually do all work myself...

Yesterday I noticed that the brake light on the passenger side of my facelift W211 isn't working but there is no error in the dashboard. The blinker in the passenger external mirror isn't working and there is an error message for it but nothing for the brake light. What could be the reason? Also...

Hi having trouble with my handbrake (MOT time) It hasn't worked for a while. Thought it was shoes, have replaced those along with pads and discs all round, but think that may have been needless.... Hand brake cable seems OK, but can only really see back of it. So assuming problem if further...

Ok - I’m 10,000 miles in now with my 64 plate CLS 350 Shooting Brake and I think my only real complaint is the Audio. Mine is the premium spec so no Harman Kardon audio - ( to be honest I had HK in my last E350 Estate as I wasn’t overly impressed with it. I think the car was too cavernous...

Guys I recently cleaned and refitted my pads for the first time on my E55K. I noticed that the pads are a really tight fit mainly due to the anti squeal backing that extends to the pads sides. Is this normal as normally when I have fitted pads they have a bit of room to move?

hi question 2 the tow bar electrics seem a little odd, they are factory fit as far as i can tell, i suspect its some kind of USA spec thing, but the indicators light up with the brake lights, they flash when you start indicating,, i spent ages messing with the little plugs in the boot , but...

Wondered how people use their electronic parking brake... in what scenario would you use it and how do you come to release it? Pull the button or step on the accelerator? Tapping the brakes twice - puts it on "HOLD" - what does this do, compared to the electronic parking brake and what...
