I have bought some new wheels, OEM Merc, to replace the horrible AMG replicas I have.
Just come to fit them and the bolts are too short for the new wheels....
What do I need to buy?
Woe is me!
If you missed this, please watch. Jeremy Clarkson may be a prat, but with this, like his documentary on the St Nazaire raid, he has hit the ball out of the park. It is a terrible tale, of instant and protracted death in unspeakable conditions with men placed in impossible positions.
So I set off for Waitrose in the 210 and as it hasn't rained thought I'd go the quick way via the ford. Water was higher than normal, but not deep enough to cause problems (or so I thought). Go through it, get up the hill into Gerrards Croos and there is a flapping/chugging noise that appears...
Hello guys,
I know this is a very popular feature of most c63's but I grew tired and frustrated of this horrible sound. Whenever I try to enjoy my car, it starts to squeal. Few days ago I took it to the dealership but as I expected they didn't come up with anything, saying that "MB Germany is...

The lovely electric boot that's standard on the current C Class estate - anyone had trouble with it?
Mine seemed to get jammed although the boot did the initial clunk of unlocking leaving a 1cm gap from the bumper. It stopped there but the hydraulic ram was still pushing hard and forcing the...

The gearbox on our automatic 2003 W211 E270 CDI seems to have died. When I put the car into drive (or reverse), the car drives for a feet or two, and then stops, as if it has popped back into neutral (although the gear lever is still in D (or R)). The engine revs...

Dolly Dyson has died after 4 years of hard work. I'm put off by the price of new ones.
I'm contemplating a Henry. The reviews seem almost 'godlike' and I am just a bit concerned that a lot of them may be from the manufacturer.
Any one have any experience of these - how do they perform on...
