cut

Hello, getting an alloy repaired tomorrow at the powdercoaters and suddenly got the itch to change from the satin black to silver or grey/diamond cut (can an owner or don advise the actual colour scheme?) has anyone came across a factory PPP without the black wheels? They all seem to be...

Anyone have had experience of having their wheels done? I would like to have mine done at short notice (this week) in the North West area. Previously I read some people mention a company down south who refurbish to OEM finish but I cannot seem to find its name :( Thank you for any...

MBCLUB- Please help- On my CLK W209, on the ECU, the previous owner has CUT two wires and bridged a resistor across it. (see pictures) (I'm guessing to tell the ECU that the said electrical component is "working" perfectly and putting out said resistance) I was told car has been re-mapped...

Anyone got a set? How much do they go for? (Bear in mind I'm poor) Thank you :)

Hi all, hopefully somebody can point me in right direction. Today while driving m ML270, it cut out- no warning lights just cut out. Now it did this the other day after i put some inj cleaner in it, but it started straight away then and drove another 150 miles. Anyway its got plenty of fuel...

So as much as I love the 18" AMG Alloys, there were not looked after by the previous owner - so there are chunks out around the rim, and "veins" where acid based cleaners have been used on the wheels. It took me over an hour to shift a month of brake dust, and get them looking half decent...

Hello people, I'm new to this forum, I was planning to join but my hand has been forced because I now need advice. My van started up yesterday then as I drove off, it died. It started again and died again a few times, some times the engine would not spin on the key. Then it got me home. Today...

The MB wheel insurance seems to claim that Diamond Cut wheels will be replaced only, this seems to indicate that repairing them is somewhat difficult or highly expensive. Is it going to be worth my time to get coverage if I expect some damages over a period of 4 years and I plan to return my...

Hi all, Have a C class 220 diesel auto 2005 and i occasionally get a split second cut out of power. it really is momentary but its there. Could be anytime but doesnt happen all the time. Cant find a pattern to it either. Fuel filter renewed, air filter renewed, auto gearbox oil and filter...

I'm leaning towards keeping stock look to my cl500 but d'like to get more growl on feel like occasions :-) Can anyone recommend a place where I could get electronic control exhaust cut out valves installed? I'm based near Gatwick airport

I've noticed that two of my wheels are starting to look a bit shabby due to corrosion. Having done some googling and phoning I’m getting quotes of circa £100 for a diamond refurb (per wheel) with a turnaround of about 5 days. The other option that has been mentioned is getting all...

Bought my 2003 C180 coupe about eight months ago for £1000.00. So far it's had drop links and bushes front and back , lower suspension arms both front sides. It's now needing rear brakes completely overhauled , discs , pads , callipers and handbrake shoes. Also spotted it needs a shocker on the...

Hi, just had a wierd experience with my car today. It has 14,000 miles and is a C180 Blue efficiency. So today I was on a fly over, ontop of a hill. There was traffic because someone decided to commit suicide ahead of us. I kept my car in ECO mode, engine was stopped. Then the cars slowly...

Hi guys, I have a 2008 Auto Sprinter 209 CDI, which is having some issues, it is a long story but to cut it short..... Last summer i went travelling Eastern Europe, whilst in Albania ( 40 degrees! ) i had a major auto gear malfunction. It turns out the wiring was melted and shorting as it was...

Was driving up a twisty steep hill with about an eight a tank of diesel when suddenly felt a few small hesitations at 2k rpm in 3rd/4th gear. Thought it was just my imagination, changed down to second and took it through the rev range pulling fine. Then after the next sharp left bend (still...

Has anyone on this forum had there diamond cut alloys refurbished, if so how did the come out, and how much should I be expecting to pay to refurbish a whole set.

Hi guys, I've got a "cut" in the tread of one of my tyres. Looks like a chunk in the tread I think probably from a stone or piece of glass. Do you think this is anything to worry about?
