I think my car was saying service 'D' due in <blah> miles but now it's saying service 'E' is due. Is this possible or must I have mis-read it first time? -g

Hi all, A few months back I asked about a whine coming from the drivers side fuel pump. I got this fixed by a local garage but now I have an issue with my fuel level, after i got it fixed i filled the tank to full but the gauge and trip computer are only seeing it as half full. Could...

My cars original alloy wheels were losing their paint.. It was lifting very badly (1st photo) This gave me the excuse I needed to change them for some 5 spokes.. The ones I have admired for quite a while now are the Adharaz ones.. These are available in both 16" and 17".. My car had the 16" as...

Well I 've had my 2000 W210 E320 diesel 7 seater estate for 18 months and lately its begun to get on my nerves a bit. She has served her purpose well, very economical very sensible, very minimal rust at all ( for a W210) But at 108,000 miles although the engine is fine other bits & pieces were...

Hi All, Has anyone changed bushes on the front suspension of a 211? My E Class is in at BSG having new front radius arms fitted - on both arms both sets of bushes are visibly shot and there is wear in one of the ball joints - seems cheaper to replace the whole units rather than spend...

Hi all, I'm looking at a clk 320 cdi at the moment. It has 80k miles and the last ATF change was at 23.5k. Its no problem to get it done if I buy, but are there any potential problems with the car doing 55k with no ATF service? Thanks in advance Pete

Hi, First post as I never had issues with my 93 w124 300td. I changed the fuel filter (front mounted top of engine) yesterday. I never filled it with diesel and was had to start. I then took it back it back off and filled diesel into it. Started after some cranking. I think I got some diesel...

Hi all. My 211 E280 CDI showed 4000+ miles to next service (B) Trying to manage my money better; i came up with a cunning plan a couple of months ago... I changed the oil and filter, air filters, and air pipe (includes both MAF sensors). I then started keeping it garaged, to bring out only...

hi got bored and changed the dash clocks from sport white one to c43 white one looks good

my CLS had the twin jets on each side for the windscreen washer .. trouble was it was a nightmare to adjust and never seemed right the 4 jets simply would not cooperate. in Easter I noticed that my Dad's facelift 211 had the "spray" jets on either side so that you got "all over spray"...

Hi everybody, I have a 2001 SLK. Recently the car was making a loud rattling noise on start-up which then quietened down. The guy who services the car discovered that a bracket had snapped which was attached to the exhaust system. He repaired this by MIG welding it back into place. He...

Howdo All, my mate changed the brake pipes on the old girl today. They were pretty corroded at the connectors to the hoses and pretty much 'twisted' off where they had gotten thin. The MoT is due in April and i was originally going to coat them in some waxoyl, but my mate suggested changing them...

Hi, I have a 2005 W203 C180k with 67000 on the clock. There is no record in the service book of the auto gearbox oil and filter being changed at the recommended 37500 miles or 3 years. (However the previous owner did have a service done by MB that is not recorded in the service book as...

I had another gearbox problem, this time the error code was a low voltage on the battery. Gearbox specialist changed battery and cleared the error codes. I have just noticed that the milage is now exactly 10k less on the display. I rang the gearbox people and they said all they did was change...

Hi All, I’ve lost count of the number of sellers, especially on ebay, who include the famous selling point, ’Original First Aid Kit’! It’s as if they expect all buyers to be either clumsy haemophiliacs, or that this little information nugget was going to tip the balance towards a bid...
