brakes

Morning all The pads on my R230 SL need changing all round. They are the originals and the car has done 33K miles. Euro Car Parts have a great sale on at the moment and I can get Pagid pads all round and matching Pagid front discs for £141 all in.(normally just under £200) Although the discs...

Our ML has serverely annoying brake squeel,is it just a case of buying better pads and discs to eliminate this?If so what would be the best ones for us to get?

What would I expect to pay from an indi for a set of these fitted?

Hi, went to refit the brake calipers on my c63 after a refurb, all went lovely but I can not bleed the brakes, the two man method does not work. I let the resivour run dry and can't get fluid to the caiplers now. What advise do you guys have to get the fluid back to the calipers as pumping...

This company seems too offer good quality coilovers for very cheap prices. Had a look for Mercedes and they do w202 ones too! Wish I knew this when I had mine! I'm getting a set fitted in a week or so with the adjustable camber top plates so when I get back at the end of July I'll give a review.

Hi do you change the Disc's and Pads on a s211? is it just a case of pushing the caliper pistons back are they wind back on the rear? didnt wanna strip it down wen the time comes and find i need to use Star to fit new ones.

Where should I go? Is eBay worth a shot for parts then get mate or mechanic to fit them? Been quoted 315 from garage for discs, pads, drums fitted. Friend thinks he found pads for 25 ish on ebay beating garages quote of 90+ for pads fitted. Car is a 53 c220 diesel coupe. Thanks for advice in...

Hi, Looking to change the pads and discs on my w204 amg sport plus over the next week or so. Have seen a few DIY videos on-line and having done brake changes on my other cars in the past it seems straight forward. However, I haven't seen a video or write up on the sport plus model which...

Hi all, Anyone able to give some information on the different brakes available on the W204? I'd like to upgrade my c250 using genuine kit, does the 350 have bigger disks? My rears are the vented kind, are these the same on all models? Cheers Ben

Hi all, Had a few requests for pics of these wheels so thought you all might like to see a few pics of the SL55 wearing her new boots. Done a lot to her in a year, full write up coming soon, but in summary: Respray New front bumper SL63 rear bumper Carbon door handles, fins. Carbon...

Picked up a 2013 plate CLS 250 CDI AMG last week. The brakes are IMO awful, feel very soft to me, i have to really stomp on the brake pedal to see any kind of urgent braking. I didn't expect this given this model is supposed to have the better "sports braking system". Appreciate its a big lump...

hi there i currently have a mercedes e class 07 i can quite easily change all the brakes on this model,no electric closing of the pistons etc.I have now bought a mercedes s class w221 s320 cdi 2007 are the brakes just as easy or do i need to tell the car to go to sleep will the electrics be a...

I've got a E class my problem is that the guard plate at the back of the brake discs are loose. It looks like it worn away over time. Is there a way of fixing this or will I have to buy new plates? I thought that I may be able to get some washers to fix to either side of the plate? Not sure on...

When I've been on a bit of a run, the brakes start to squeak quite annoyingly at slow speeds. I expect it's common knowledge to many but is there anything to be done about this? Normally, I go "if it squeeks, stick WD40 on it" but even I'm not a stoopid enough noob to do that to brakes...

Anyone give me an idea as to the cost of these bits. I'm being a bit lazy I know, but you guys know this stuff. Cheers

My car is presently having new front discs and pads fitted. However after 2 attempts MB have yet to supply the correct discs. The ones they have sent have all been too small in diameter. They have been given the VIN but it seems the car doesn't register on their system! My indy must...

I've got a niggle. Had the front tires (or is it tyres? I'm not a scholar) replaced a couple of months (under 750 miles) ago. Since then I get the occasional squeal from the o/s/f, as far as I can tell. It's at low speed and disappears under braking and above 20mph. Seems to occur more after...

Hi guys. The brake discs and pads on my Vito Sport X Brabus are due for replacing now. So it seems like a good time for an upgrade... I'm looking for some drilled and grooved discs but not having much luck finding many at the moment. Plenty available for the old model Vito's, but mine is a...

Hi all Got a 2007 E500 Sport with 52K under Mercedes Tier 1 warranty. I had noticed a vibration at high speed and booked the vehicle into my local main dealer. It has since been noted that the front left brake caliper is faulty and sticking. This has been agreed by Mercedes...
