changed

@ MB Glasgow. They charged me £185 for this inc Labour (90mins) and the car feels smoother through its gears, particularly from 3-4 and 4-5 with the changes being imperceptibly smooth. They got the car ready for me quickly as I was off to Stirling to meet a pal for a bash on the driving range...

Windows XP, Firefox. I installed BitZipper to try to open a compressed file (didn't work, file damaged) & it has changed my Home page to http://search.conduit.com/?ctid=CT1304867&SearchSource=13. I've since deleted BitZipper & BitZipper toolbar. When that didn't work I re-installed it & deleted...

I had the standard 16" Elegance wheels on my 99 facelift E320 with 215/55/16 tyres all round. It was very wallowy and the back end would slide out if going round a damp roundabout a little too quickly, in fact unless you slowed down to silly levels. Anyway, the plan was to change the...

Aprilia's gone, DC5 has gone, 530d is going this weekend. Now left with: plus the SL500, and an R100/7 which is now in several pieces awaiting a rebuild :D

Hands up who is driving slower due to the fuel prices!!...........:rock:

After a big HooHa over the past month or so with my local dealer trying to get my claim put through. She has just informed that MB head office have told her that it's only cars after 2000 which are protected by the rust warranty. She argued on my behalf with them saying it states 30 years from...

I have spent the last few hours changing the glow plugs on my E300 TD estate. I have heard some horror stories about ackwardly positioned nuts and broken glow plugs. Well I would deffo recommend either having access to a ramp or a pit (I used a pit) unless you want to be a contorsionist lying on...

Woo Hoo !!! :bannana: With the trusty Haynes manual and the advice of my dad ( ex-mechanic years ago ) , i changed my front brake pads today !! Myself, no-one else touched a tool ... I'm on fire !!! :rock: great feeling when you do something yourself and save some money ... ( I know...

Took a 14mm allen key (socket) That stuff stinks Used MB diff oil

Euro NCAP have published results of a survey of cars fitted with ESP as standard. The UK languishes at the bottom of the table with the Netherlands, Greece,Malta and Ireland. :( http://www.chooseesc.eu/download/press/EuroNCAP%208_May%20ESC%20Brochure.pdf Mercedes comes out quite well.:) :)...

Anyone ever stop by the forum on www.autocar.co.uk? I do when I have chance but not a regular visitor by any means, although I don't miss a copy of the magazine. It seems they've binned the old forum which was very flat (in design, not content) in favour of a new one which seems to have lots...

I can detect a very slight misfire at idle... so slight, you have to concentrate to detect it. However, as the car has now done just under 55k miles, it's fair to assume the plugs could be the culprit. I'd like to change them myself in order to save £100+ labour from the local specialist...

I had a small diesel leak , have been recommended to change the lines. Car was serviced yesterday - asked them to look at it - they say there is a leak from the shutoff valve. Couple of threads say you can change the o ring - better option than £130 plus labout to change the valve. Problem...

Did the job today, although I was really a spectator as my mate did most of the work. Its actually quite straightforward, and I took some piccies as well. Most of the piccies are from the rear, looking forward (you can see the exhaust and cat on the right). 1) Make sure the engine and...

Very easy to do even though I was having a mild heart attack at the time! So, now changed and my car is nearly 100% again - but do I need to have the ECU reset? I noticed that the car was a little slow responding to the new MAF but after a few miles of driving slow - gear changes were...

Had a B service on a W203 200K 4500 miles ago, today I've a persistant warning about pad wear on LCD display? I kind of assumed that the pads were changed on a 'B' service, can anyone help? should they have been (can't believe I have worn them out in 4.5K). Anyway, assuming that they...

Hi Guys, Whilst researching the Corel Draw question in my previous thread I ended up on a site that suddenly displayed an agreement stating that if I accepted it the prog would alter my dial out settings to a £1.50 per minute site. I clicked on don't accept but I couldn't get rid of it. I...

Since I sold my 1994 C280 a little more than month ago and I just bought another 1993 190E Limited Edition, I decided to change my name to reflect this. Black_1994_C280 is now Limited Edition! :bannana: Regards, Don
