build

Whilst having some work done on my E320 CDi the mechanic pointed out a nasty build up of gunk on the 2 injectors at the front of the engine. When cold the gunk was hard and glossy. When warmed up it was more like the consistency of bluetac and we were able to pick some out. Does anyone know what...

I have the dealer vehicle print out for my new GL and I am trying to decypher when the build date actually was. The car is in the UK now and probably has been for some time, the print out says it is at MB of Blackburn. The 'dates' look more like codes, can anyone shed any light? I also have the...

Right. Given up on attempts to upgrade one of my "old" Dell Desktops for No 2son so he can run his games properly. So current plan is to build from barebones PC case reusing both the hard drives, sound card and CD ROM/DVD rewriters if possible. Thus require case with beefy power supply &...

Anybody, have any idea's how many W124 E320 Sportline Cabrios were sold in this country? Cheers Vlad

I ordered my new C-Class (as described in this thread) in mid September, and was given a preliminary due date of around end November/start December. Had a call from the dealer earlier today comfirming it was being built as we speak and would arrive week beginning 26th of this month. I then got...

I enjoy all the new technology and design of the latest cars. But the character and class of the classics are missing. It's not just cars, look at the affection for the routemaster bus. Remove the boring limitations of EU regulations for the sake of the thread - how cool would it be to have...

Nice little video of an AMG engine build on Mercedes TV. Skip the intro then its number 5 under the VEHICLES tab. Once it starts running the annoying German bird shuts up ;) http://www.mercedes-benz.tv/index.html?csref=mbcom_ws_mbtv0107_us_en

Being new to this forum and also about to purchase an 55amg, is the build quality likely to be of a higher quality than a run of the mill MB of the same model?

Last week I bought a ASUS P5GD1-VM motherboard + P4 3.4Ghz processor off eBay. I removed all the old parts from my old PC, and attached them to the new motherboard. Once its on, the lights come on, fan starts, CD drives open but I can get no signal from the montior. I have tried the...

I recently replaced the Valeo radiator on my '02 W203 C32, ever since then, I've noticed excessive heat build up around bottom of the right side front bumper. So much heat that it actually deformed the bottom of the bumper slightly!! The left hand side felt cold to the touch, but the right...

I get a strange "I robot" sort of feeling watching this but fascinating all the same. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CzuQ3DtsPc&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fcars%2Ewikia%2Ecom%2Findex%2Ephp%3Ftitle%3DWatch%5Fa%5FCar%5FAssembled%5FFrom%5FScratch%5F%2D%2D%5FBy%5Fa%5FRobot

Does anyone know if the SL models (W129) suffered from poorer build quality when they were built in the mid 90s onwards (ie when other models started to become less well built) or did the manufacture process stay unchanged right throughout their history until the late 90s? Also, what are the...

Lets take a fairly bog standard E class that retails at £30K. Anyone know what it would cost MB to build this car ex-factory? Ignore R&D etc - just parts and labour. just interested............

Hi everybody, After not keeping up with Chip, Graphics card and motherboard specs for a few years, I need updating on the latest hot products! Used to say that a well speced PC could kick the @rse of any of these new fangled game box toys:D Is this still true?? If so, what would you...

These are appearing all over the place. Seem to be the next mania after speed humps: "At some road junctions visibility is often reduced because of the shape of the roads or because of parked cars. Building out the kerb into the carriageway can help solve this problem. It provides protection...

I heard about this, but didnt get to see it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bIV_hHPAFQ Well worth a look! 1 of 4 parts.
