Hi, Am I right in thinking you shouldn't put copper grease on wheel bolts.

Confession time. On my brake pad slider pin I put some copper slip on the shaft to allow the pad to slide freely, but then without thinking also put some on the thread. I've no idea why, I never usually do. So when I came to torque the pin the torque wrench never met the required setting, the...

Pads need changing on my 211. Will this grease be ok for the rear of the pads or does it need to be the MB stuff? Read somewhere it needs to be poly or moly or something? :dk:

Here is one for the experts here! I had a look at a W220 Biturbo and so far, all looking good. However, there was this unusual 'paste' on the top of both front suspension towers. It literally looked like the metallic copper 'paste' that Humbrol do for model kits and that had been wiped off...

I went through an Amber light this AM and apparently when I went over the line the light went red. A policeman appeared promptly in my mirror with blue lights blazing after a short whole. I had an idea what it was for....but didnt let on when he asked why was pulled over.... He said I crossed...

I didn't have the pleasure of chatting with my local constabulary, though (as in the other thread) - more see what their driving was like :rolleyes: Last night, I was coming home about half 11. Driving in a 30 limit at about 32. I see a pair of headlights coming up rather quickly behind me...

Have never seen a W202 in the UK with this rare colour and it really is one of a kind. I recall seeing some images on the net of a rare W202 C55 AMG in the very colour. Personally I dont think its such a bad colour but perhaps the rarity is making me like it. Notice how the inserts in the centre...
