dilemma

So my C270CDi is approaching 3 years old (in 4mths) but I've done a lot less miles in her than I expected - just under 30K at the moment. Since I bought it at 6000 miles, it's only ever been to the dealers once, to have an A service. It's calling for a B service in 5000miles. I just got a...

I'm wanting to change the wheels on my C250td (w202) elegance. I only want to go to 16" rims no bigger & am defiantly not going to lower the car or change any of the suspension (I like the soft, comfy feel too much). I'm not really into a lot of the standard merc wheels & agree that some of...

Had my car serviced 5 months ago with an A service (one spanner on assyst) and today the indicator has come up with a service request in 1100 miles, but asking for an A service again. My miles are nearly all M/way or dual carriageway so I asked the garage what I should do, and was told they...

Have convinced my sister to get a W203 facelift C class (C200K) when they return to London from NYC after a 4 year secondment there. They arrive 9 April and want a car then. Do we buy a car taking advantage of the deals now (they expire on 31 Mar and must be registered by then; about 15%...

Hi Guys, I've been running a M reg W124 E300 diesel 7 seat estate and have been really impressed with the vehicle - a bit better than my old 300TD estate and much better and more reliable compared to my old 300TE. My partner has just given me the news that we're going to be expecting...

Need some advice please. Have a 1999 E300TD with MOT coming up soon. The only problem it has is a small hole (size of 10p coin) in middle section of exhaust pipe.( Approx 1 ft from CAT, just passed a bend in the pipe). Also, the CAT has been making a rattling noise for some time now - But -...

As you can see from the classified section, I think the time has come to replace my wonderful W202 C250TD. There's nothing actually wrong with it and, unusually for me, I haven't grown bored with it. However at the moment I'm racking up 2000 miles a month (even though I only drive the car twice...

I signed up with a new ISP in December, connection was initiated on Dec 22. The ISP provided, at my request, an ADSL modem as a cost option. I have yet to be charged for it or for my monthly connection. I 'phoned them about this in early January just to say that I had received no request for...

Should I change my very lovely Green Black metallic C240 Sport 97R (with newly refurbished original AMGs and new Pirelli P Zero Rossos all round for much improved ride, noise etc) for a SL500 1999T? Costs and much higher insurance premiums aside, the answer would seem to be obvious but I am...

Can i change the shocks on my CLK to provide a more comfortable /softer ride?would there be much difference or would the springs need to be done as well?

Hello, I would be very grateful for any thoughts on the following. I have decided to buy a C280 having driven one and loved it. What I can't decide is whether the V6 cars are worth the premium being charged for them. At the moment, I have tabs on two cars, a 97P inline six and a 98R...

Hi all I have a 1972 350SL which has been rebadged and has a 450 engine in it. Alas the motor is knackered so I am intending to replace it. Would it be better for the cars classic value to return it to it's original configuration? If so, is it a straight swap? I was told some ancillary parts...
