a few picture of the crack that was causing the noise on a c240 v6 sport w202

Hi Guys, I have just discovered that I have picked up a stone chip that has resulted in a foot long crack across the windscreen of my 6 week old pride and joy..... Not impressed :mad: I have called my insurance company (LV) but as its the weekend when you select windscreen cover they...

The other day whilst having some new tyres fitted the fitter spotted a crack in one of my alloys. The tyre had not been loosing air pressure and the new tyre was balanced with only 25g added so it seems not to be buckled. Does anyone have any experience in repairing cracked alloys? Or should...

Help! My '89 420 SEL was in having a near side front caliper replaced about 3 weeks ago. After this, there was a strange, but quiet clonk when going over speed bumps (for example) - and what sounded like a cv joint when pulling away and turning (obviously it wasn't that!). I assumed it was a...

:o Hello,after a recent winter check of my W203 Sport Coupe (2005 reg) - I was advised by the service department that the thrust arm bushes were cracked and would probably need replacing.To be fair,the service manager said he had seen worse and it was not immediate,but they would deteriorate.He...

Today my windscreen cracked when i put the heater on. There was a large stone chip at the edge which i should have got repaired so i guess that it is also partly my fault. I am thinking of going to autoglass as it is covered by insurance but does anyone know if they will fit a genuine original...

My windscreen cracked yesterday morning right where there is a really bad chip. The chip had been repaired previously but was a really bad repair. I am getting it replaced under insurance company paying a £70 excess. They coordinate their replacements with National Windscreens and when the guy...

Hi and thanks for looking, This has cracked and I don't fancy taking it into a MB dealership to get replaced. Any ideas on where I can source the item and get it fixed without having to pay £140 per hour labor rates? I'm in the Manchester area so anywhere around here would be good. I...

Whilst changing the Smart car's spark plugs I notice a crack in the exhaust pipe: the crack looks substantial, but yet the exhaust sounds the same as normal. It has also recently passed its MoT. Is this anything I should be worried about or should i just wait for a more audible change...

Ive got two brand spanking new rear wheels,so I thought id post some close up pics of what im left with. Old wheel cracked in three places. A powdercoated wheel with the repair a friend did last year.

Afternoon Gents I've had a (actually quite quick) slow puncture on my offside rear wheel for a few months now that I just keep pumping up, but we'll be doing a few miles over Christmas and I thought I'd better get it re-fitted - the tyres were done in the Autumn and it's been a problem since...

I thought forum members would like to see photos of a crack in one of my alloy wheels. I originally posted on the wheels and suspension thread in the technical forum but this seems of much wider interest and safety implication that I thought others would like to see it. The first picture is of...

Has anyone seen this problem before? I have recently acquired a MY55 W203 estate which was reported during my first service service of it to have a cracked wheel on the inner rim. (see pic) There is no other sign of damage to the wheel or suspension - is this just something that happens from...

sorry its on a camera phone, speaking to a mate in the pub last night who does body repairs and he assumes that this will take all day to `plasti-weld` back together, im not paying for it as girlie broke it but what do the panel think... isnt this just a fill and paint job?

Was wondering how long the paint or corrosion warranty was on a 98 SLK. Never seen this before, the paint on the rocker/cam cover is bubbling and is cracked and pealing in one place. A minor thing I know but it's bugging me. The car has 44000 miles with Full Mercedes Service History. I read...

While cleaning the car today I noticed that the left side skirt at the very front and underneath has a crack in it. Is it easy to repair such things? It doesn't seem bad. A replacement side skirt looks like it will cost ~ £750. As the car is quite old, that's a fair amount to put into it I am...

Hi i have a crack across my headlight lense caused by a stone.... the light works fine. is this a fail? cheers derek

I've posted this on another forum, but I thought I would post here as well since you guys might have some better ideas. Heres the story: Three weeks ago I purchased a secondhand car (MB 190E) off a private individual. The car was perfect and so far I'm happy with it. Whilst looking around...

A news article in today's Herald on Sunday says a team of engineers at Ruhr University have cracked the KEELOQ system found on many of todays current models. http://www.sundayherald.com/search/display.var.2174801.0.scientists_crack_security_system_of_millions_of_cars.php The team from Ruhr...

I've just got my car back from the stealership. 30K B Service and it needed 2 new front tyres and a new nearside front wheel. The wheel has a 1" crack across the inside. The garage reckon I hit something. I don't remember it, as something that has damaged a wheel would have been...
