Hi,
I am looking for some advise ideas. I have some 215/55 R16 winter tyres with 8mm from my old car. I can't find any Merc wheels for these thu.

Please could someone help me with the Removal and fitting of cam chain and adjuster on the 2011 C180 CGi my wife has. It has done 46000 miles and has developed the dreaded rattle on startup and twice has not started on the first turn of the key. I have been in touch with a local Mercedes dealer...
