build

Hi All I am a first time Mercedes owner having just bought a 2004 E320 CDi Elegance with 1 owner and 33,000 miles I am delighted with the car which is in superb condition but this joy has been more than tempered by reading of the horrors of a valeo radiator failure :( From what I have read...

Hi to everyone. I am hoping that some forum members here can help. The objective is to create a clean (or cleaner!) environment in which to assemble components that seem so far to be troubled by the lack of cleanliness. I know quite a few of you are involved in engine, and presumably...

We're selling our plot of land in Northeast Scotland. Wonderful place, very quiet with lots of wildlife! We were going to live up there but our plans have bow changed and we'll be stopping in the Lakes. Details: http://pdf.your-move.co.uk/propimg/256/pdf/527160166.pdf Farms, Estates & Land...

My friend has just bought a ML300 diesel in white (I know white!!) and brought it round for me to have a look. Was very surprised as all the switches and the dashboard material is exactly the same as in my 2007 A class which I used to own. Now correct me if i'm wrong but if I had paid the best...

Had a flick through the service book after getting an A service done at MB today. Noticed the original build sheet from the factory poking out the back of the book and it stated the model as being 'C55 AMG Comp' What does the 'Comp' bit mean - I thought it stood for Compressor but these aren't...

Where in the world was my SLK built? I ask because an insurance quote from Admiral specifically excludes a courtesy car because the SLK is a non-EU import.

Just a week after placing my order, I now have a confirmed build date of the 30th March! As I have gone for the factory collection option, does anyone know how much longer after that date I can expect to wait before I am able to collect it? I am just a little bit....excited! :bannana:

Hello Everyone I am new to this so sorry if this has been answered but i could not find the answer when i did a search I have just been given the build day for my new Merc. I have been given the dates 8th March 2010 to 22nd March 2010 If i was to collect it from the Factory when do you...

I just saw on Euronews that from 2014 all c-class production will move from Germany to Alabama down in the good old US of A. Is this good or is this bad?

Hi Is this is an example of over engineering???? There are little wire ropes that secure the exhaust mounting bracket should the weld fail???? Anyone have any other ideas as to why these wire ropes are there?? Perhaps it is to secure the fuel tank in the event of a rear shunt??? 210 does not...

Switching my attention from 500SE to 300/320CE. Did the legendary build quality last through until the 320 ie is the 320 as well built as the 300? I ask as a while back I had a 3 year old N reg C class that fell apart! Thanks Piers

I thought you could but maybe not as I have spent 20 mins looking for it. Where you start with a basic car and add all the options and wheels etc and it comes out 50% more than you started :)

Hello I have been building a new pC and got myself into some bother. The basis is a Asus motherboard that I had lying around which had been repaired by Asus after an initial symptom of no video, some time ago. I have installed the CPU which worked on a very similar ASUS board (which...

Hi, How many were built between 92-99? How many came to UK? Dont see many on the roads. Cheers

Some time back, I saw a web site listed that used the VIN to get the exact factory details of your MB vehicle. I think it was out of Russia or Finland???? Anyone know the site please Thanks Ingin

http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=17843 5 year plan for UK production, but then what? Will my LRX plummet in value if they then move LR and Jag to India, compromising the brand heritage? (look at me worrying about depreciation on a car yet to be built - we'll be driving milk...

Just thought I would put a few pics of the boot build of my W124 saloon. Although some of you members might think what the hell ! I can assure you that the audio system in my car will amaze most people for sound quality and not just to rattle out your fillings ....lol.... and is designed to...
