    W220 Oil Sump Damage

    Hi, First post here since becoming the keeper of a 02 S230 CDI, and perhaps a little too exuberant on a back road and now the questions start. I damaged the oil sump, and I managed to get pulled in and stopped very quickly so as to ensure no engine damage. The oil sump was repaired, but only...

    Another case of car park damage

    Yep, it's happened to me now :mad: Had my Ka parked at a show, in a field, in neat rows under the supervision of the car park attendants. I thought there was bags of space between the cars, in fact I parked intentionally so there was. Anyway, clearly I hadn't left quite enough for the person...

    Steering Wheel Stolen-No Damage To Locks/Window

    Hi This is my first post so thanks in anticipation of any replies/help. I've had my steering wheel and airbag stolen from my 09 C200 Sport.

    Tyre Wall Damage

    Just had my first A service today and they flagged up some damage to the tyre wall (outside face on the rear o/s). Tyre is a year old (like the car) and still has over 4mm of tread left so is in otherwise perfect condition. They quoted me almost £400 for a single tyre - 265/35/18/97Y which...

    W124 E300D - Front damage

    My darling wife hit a deer head on at 60MPH and did a fair bit a damage to my then immaculate W124...the deer didn't do so well. (Oh dear!) I'm after the main engine rad which also takes the cooling for the auto box plus the air-con condensor. Both brand new from Mercedes are around £600 so I'm...

    door damage

    Well, just to add to my brilliant driving luck this year (done a lot of miles though in my defense) last week I hit a fallen branch, which flicked up and dented my door and smashed the bottom of the plastic sill... Usual local bodyshop said "new door mate, insurance job"... So it's...

    So I have my 1994 W124 E220 a grand total of 3 days and my neighbour reversed out her driveway this morning straight into my path, resulting in a smashed wing and headlight, possibly the bonnet latch and maybe a shunted in bumper! She's admitted liability but I'm still not a happy camper, at...

    Pot Hole Damage?

    It would appear that speaking to my Indie, the reason my Wheel was destroyed and the shocker exploded was perhaps a pot hole. Now I could understand this if either the tyre had gone down straight away, or the handling had changed. But it all seemed to happen when I got back in the car half an...

    Frost damage?

    I drove my W169 today for the first time for a week. Now, when I brake, I have a judder as if there is something stuck on one of the discs. Is this likely to be a frost/salt related bit of corrosion which will disappear in time, or should I be looking for something more sinister. Any...
