Guys Has anyone tips on removing this, I need to dig out wires that were left over from the failed install of the video converter box. :wallbash::wallbash::wallbash::wallbash: Think its easy enough but want to know what I am letting myself into. cheers

This happened last week - I have 2 cm clearance each side of my garage door frame and after 2 1/2 years the inevitable happened: I was gutted, however after around an hour of elbow grease + Meguiars Ultimate Cut Compound I have removed 98%: Amazingly it there are no dents at...

Message popped up that I have an A service due in a few days. The car has only done 4000 miles since the last service and I want to put it off for a few weeks until Easter. Is the service indicator any more difficult to DIY reset if it's overdue as opposed to being done on time. Might be a...

Need to change the rear subframe front bushes. 2000 W210 estate. I can do jobs on the car-the major concern is getting the old ones out. I am stuck if I cant finish the job, as I need the car for work. Just how hard are they to remove? Cheers

Please use my advice with extreme caution I am an interested rookie, not a Pro. Heated seats Google “Auto Carbon Heated seats retrofit kit Universal”, got mine on Amazon. The kit is superbly made in my opinion and a bargain at £23, there is a 15A fuse holder included. The wiring includes a...

Hello all. After a bit of help. I've purchased these rims to go on my w210 and wanted to know the best process of refurbing them at home. They have curb damage and the lacquer is peeling.

Hi guys, I got a replacement thermostat a few days ago. I was going to have my mechanic install it this weekend, but he's not available. From researching a bit, I understand this is a relatively short and easy job. Perhaps it will be suitable to serve as my very first DIY? I wasn't...

I am writing this DIY as I don’t find the instructions in WIS to be very informative. It describes how I replaced my own ABC pump after my local dealer wanted to charge over $8k for the job, due to an occasional red ABC Drive Carefully warning on my dashboard, and me needing to re-prime my pump...

Anyone got any good ideas of bags which could neatly fit behind the seats of an R230, and inside the boot? Understood that there's a rather nifty £400 Mercedes leather bag that was sold "back in the day" to go BEHIND the seats, but I'm looking for something cheaper and perhaps not as wide and...

I knew my time would come soon enough! My car is sagging (mostly the rear) and a Merc indie is saying that it will be £500 + VAT for a second hand replacement, or £1500 for a new part. I've seen the DIY posts, pictures and helpful YouTube video showing the step by step process of repair...

I'm looking for a DIY guide on how to fix holes and rips in black MB Tex seats on a 2007 W203 that's been neglected for way too long . I've been searching a lot and found DIY guides that deal with only minor rips & holes, not big issues like these seats show, as you see in the included pictures...

Hi guys and gals, I have a set of the Vito style wheels fitted with winter tyres. They're a bit scaggy but not too bad. Problem is that two of them leak pretty badly, enough to lose 25% of their pressure over a week. Has anybody done a DIY refurb on the inside of the rim where the tyre sits? I...

Im looking at making a set of coilovers for my 639. Looking at getting hold of 2 old front struts. Does anyone know the diameter of the struts and are the shock inserts removable?

Hi guys Just I would to making a car wrapping around my lovely merc, some similar that U see on the photo below. What you think guys, can I do these works myself with a decoration routine? Actually, I never did this, but I had a permanent job on the graphics and design factory, before...

So, after losing coolant for a while i narrowed it down to the top rad hose connected to the thermostat, so i replaced that. That somewhat sorted the problem but the car was still running hotter than usual esp during standstill, so i suspected the thermostat and i changed that. still...

Hi, Has anybody done this themselves recently ? Is it easy if you buy the ply already cut ? And what insulation and carpet is the best ? Really fancy having a go myself but want it to look tidy once it's done. Or can anybody recommend someone that does it in the South Wales area for...

Hi there, new member Jay here. I have the engine management light on the dash and have had it confirmed and reset before with high ash content in the DPF. Read so much about the problem and understand its getting pretty boring so I'm not going to muck about and will replace the DPF...

I've bought new seat backrest and base pads for my s124, has anyone stripped the seat of the covers and replaced them by themselves, or is it a specialist job? Ideally I'd like to do it myself this weekend, as I can't be without the car for a while and the current pads are misshaped and...

I've recently bought an 2002 ML diesel and I'm looking for any service tips. A good DIY checklist to work through would be grand. :thumb: I've discovered a few annoying things since buying it which need addressed but any tips for this model would be much appreciated. 1. Discovered I...
