I have a '99 E430 with styling 2 AMG's 8x18 all round and at the moment fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport 1's. MOT is booked for Wednesday and I think both front tyres will fail as they are close to the wear bars. Had some prices come back from the local fitter and would appreciate some advice on...

Its that time again, one pair of scrubbed out fronts to deal with. :( Any help would be much appreciated, i've got a 2003 C200K estate on 205's, anyone got any advice on what works for them?? (I guess what to avoid is as good, P600's don't seem to be too popular!) I'm not too bothered on...

OK folks, Matts got one going, so I might as well put my cards on the table as well: The E240 is getting a bit long in the tooth now, so in January its time for replacement. Sadly, this wasn't helped at all by one of out esteemed members letting me drive his CL65!! So a CL500 (215 shape) is...

Simple poll, which would you have... This F430: OR This: Just picking your brains, that time of year again :D

I need to get 4 new tyres for my C36 AMG to get it through the MOT. (they have all gone bald on the inside, they remainder of the tyres are fine...I've had tracking done in the last month)I've found a place that can supply part worn(I've used the co before and they are usually next to new) but...

I have an itch to scratch.. If you had £25k for a low mileage secondhand mercedes, what would you go for? My criteria are pretty simple - power, noise and nice to look at! I'd be tempted by the C32 as it's the fastest and most agile of them all, but it's not a convertible and not a V8. The...

A new set of boots are due all round, what do you guys recommend? I am on standard rims, size is 215/55R16 from memory. I have P6000s currently which have been OK but nothing special, they don't seem to be very responsive and have had balance problems. I want good good handling, wet grip...

Hi All, I'm shortly going to need to replace the tyres on my C240 sport. It's currently on the factory 6-spoke rims, on Pirelli P6000s. Can anyone recommend a decent tyre choice? Cheers, Lazarus --

Hi all, after some ideas of tyre brands I ought to go for with 235 45 17 size. These are for replica 5 spoke w210 e class 2001 - I am torn between Michelin primacy, Goodyear F1s or Dunlop Sport Sp2000/9000 - any ideas people? I would like a view of the 17'' rims too if you have time. Would love...

I'm having a "B" service but supplying the garage with engine oil. Appart from knowing the MB specification for the oil <<229.1.>> which brand of oil is good value for money? Are there different oils for petrol and diesel engines? Should I supply just the litreage amount mentioned in the...

I have an 88 300SL and recently upgraded stereo to something a bit more powerful, and its really showing up the speakers in the dash. does anyone have any advice in terms of replacing them, or having completely new (and bigger) ones cut into the doors? heard that someone has had a big woofer in...

Hi all... After looking soo hard for a car to carry my new born son and his Huge push chair !!!, I decided to buy a Merc C200 K 2001 Model (used of course !!!).. Can someone tell me if a Cam Belt change is required after 60k miles??? I was not informed of this at the time but have been...

I have a 1998 C180 (W202) and am getting ready to replace all 4 tyres. Currently on are Conti's.. 195/65 r15. I am looking for a quality tyre that is good in wet & dry and importantly is quiet (i.e. less roadnoise coming in the car). I have found the Contis are good but are noisey. I have read...

Folder Shirt *sigh* :rolleyes: S.

Purchased one of the last C240 sports' on a W plate from Mercedes through Signature about 5 months ago and must say am absolutely delighted with the car. This was confirmed only yesterday, as I am currently in the process of replacing my wife's car and test drove a new Saab Convertible...
