chassis

Hi, Had a look underneath my 2006 ML and was surprised to see significant corrosion on the rear sub-frame and on the floor around the sub-frame mounting points. Neither area is in a position that gets a lot of spray so I was a little surprised. If left untreated I think this would cause...

Does anybody have any suggestions to clean properly under the car? I have a Karcher and wondered if there is some kind of flexible attachment? What do other people do (apart from just not bother).

Hi folks, I have a 2002 W203 c270cdi estate, which has recently had front suspension work completed. The car is an elegance model with sports chassis, so I spec'd the springs as such, Sachs sports lowered for C270/C320cdi. The struts are also spec'd Bilstein B4 for this model, and I also got the...

Hi. I got some time ago information on my W210 from the chassis number. It was great, gave the cars full spec. I can't remember where I got it. I know someone on here gave me the link. I have bought a nice 1998 C240 estate. It's a Japanese import. Would love to get the full information from the...

Have been doing a bit of research on my 1993 R129 SL500 and was interested to see from Wiki that starting in 1993 for the 1994 model year, R129 were re-designated so 500SL became SL500. I am interested to find out what the chassis number of the first 1993 SL500 would have been. For sake of...

Hi all. I'm having an issue with installing a new touch screen, DVD, cd blah blah blah unit for my dad for his 70th lol. Unitfortunitally it's not just plug and play as I though in the add. The installer needs to know the chassis number of the car, and as my dad is away with the car and I...

Hi all, My ground wires on the passenger side chassis leg are ripped off, i believe one goes to the foglight anyone know where the others should go as i can not see where they have been pulled off Cheers

I've noticed small amounts of surface rust on the chassis members behind the rear wheel arches. Nothing serious but nonetheless it is rust. Should I attempt to sand down the rust and paint with Hammerite or just give the area a good clean and apply some protective wax? Access is pretty...

Is there a thread or system for decoding information out of it. Have done it with other cars I own just curious of specs and what's obtainable from the numbers.

Anyone able to look up specifications from a chassis number? I'm wondering what was chosen on mine having always assumed it had naff all options.

It's not even as wildly expensive as I'd imagine for a Charles ironprice car. I've not seen a Diesel w124 with a sport chassis before...or electric heated seats for the matter. Car Detail

Not sure how I've managed not to notice before but I saw this today when I opened the fuel filler: I'm not sure if it's supposed to have something in the boxes on the bottom sticker or not, or if all cars had this but the sport chassis optioned cars had numbers in there. How can I tell if my...

Bid to £205 w/ 1 day to go. Bloke doesn't seem to know it has the highly 'sort' after 650 option, sport chassis with 15 hole alloys, which look to have been replaced with what might be Lorinsers. Might be a bargain. Possible red flag - "Upon looking today, i seem to have misplaced the...

Anybody ever clean the chassis of their car? Saw one of these on amazon and was thinking if it was worth it. Karcher Chassis Cleaner: Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools

Have tried searching the net & also using the Russian sites, but I'm not finding the info needed (& would be very useful to have full factory specification too..) Specifically I'd like to know if either of my W124 300D Turbos came with LSD as standard. If not, then my next task is to find one...
