Apologies if this is a repost, can't seem to do a search at the moment. When replacing the rear pads on my e class coupe is there anything special i need to do? deactivate any systems etc. Thanks

Hi all, After years of enjoying my car allowance, a change in policy has meant that I have to change my car as it is now over 7 years old (age limit for car allowance eligibility). Rather than buying used again, I have been convinced to take up the offer of a company car. With a choice of...

W211 2004 E320cdi 119,700miles. Have recently bought the car and comes with several problems. The third rear brake light (high level red LED lights) has 21 LEDs and the first 4 on rhs (as you look at the boot) do not work. Where is most reliable place to buy a light unit? Or is it possible...

I recently bought a two year old E63S. I didn't notice when I bought it that a significant area of the red paint on one of the brake calipers has flaked off (see attached pic). I've taken the car to my local dealer (not the one I bought the car from) and they've told me Mercedes don't supply...

I am in need of replacement discs and pads all round and am keen stay with MB parts. Am off across the Alps next month so reckon it is a good time to fit some new kit!. Are there any known outlets that do a decent discount? I tried MB Southend as I recall they were mentioned previously but got...

Need some replacement front and rear brake pads for my C63 saloon facelift non performance pack car.. From what I remember MB were pricey so looking for an aftermarket performance alternative. Euro car parts have pagid rear pads but a random brand of front pads. Any good alternatives? Have used...

When i first bought my car 2 years ago... i noticed there was a brake squeal coming from the off side rear and put it down to being the brakes. So i now replaced the brakes and pads at the rear with genuine mercedes parts and i still get the squeal which is really pushing my button as i keep...

Hi guys, am needing to renew my front discs on my 2008 c class S204 tdi estate, any recommendations on what make to fit would be much appreciated, I like Pagid, and few other makes on the market but would like some advice....thanks

Inspired by Harry82 I decided to give my brakes a make over. I wanted something subtle yet still sporty. So decided to go with gunmetal grey with silver AMG logo. Now I now they are not AMG brake callipers; but the standard MB decal looks boring. I followed Harry82's guide using high build...

Hi hope someone can help? A friend of mine as been told that in order to replace his corroded brake lines they will have to drop the rear axle, is this really necessary? Cheers

Hi all. My 2010 CLS 350 Grand is in for its Service D today. It's 5 months and around 4,500 since I bought it. They've called to say that the front alignment is out and the rear pads are 80% worn. I'm not surprised they didn't offer to fix either of these things under the 12 month approved...

Recently bought a 2012 c180 petrol estate , loving the car but the only criticism is the amount of brake dust it produces . The pads that are on are genuine mb items . My question is are mb using cheap pads and just putting a mb sticker on them cheers .

Hi, Recently bought a 2008 C200 auto sport, the front alloys get covered in black dust/particles within a day or so , I've never seen so much dust before in such a short time , washing the alloys soon cleans them up but I don't fancy having to do this every second day, I notice the front discs...

Hi, Opening a can of worms here but does anyone have part numbers ( from MB ) for Front "standard" brake discs Front "PP" brake discs Front "PPP" brake discs ?

Hello, I recently purchased my first Mercedes, a lovely C Class coupe 220 on a 63 plate. Love it to bits with the exception on the brakes, they just don't feel quite right to me. I have had all the pads and discs changed to genuine Mercedes parts and also had them bled my Mercedes...

Hi I have a E220cdi 2007 and have been led to believe there was an option for bigger front brakes. Would this be a case of buying the bigger callipers discs and pads or would I need adapter plate, also would I be able to put bigger brakes on front whilst leaving rears the same. Thanks in...

Hi all This is my first post :) I read a lot of posts on here and have tried searching for the answer to my question. I am after a little help to try and sort my parking brake. I have already adjusted the shoes at the rear wheels but the cable also needs adjusting. At present it is...

Mercedes CLK 230k 2001 I've had occasional BAS fault light warning and BAS/ESP during two years owned. Today the fault light comes on each time the pedal is pressed following starting engine. No physical issues noted. On way home i've also found that the Cruise Control has stopped...

As it appears the SL's disc shields are NLA, it's about time I gave mine some attention. Once they're media blasted and I've brazed/welded up any damage, they'll need a finish coat, something durable that will cope with the harsh environment (dust, stones etc). What's the popular concensus?
