I am considering changing the front pads on my W212 (2012, E-220 CDI Estate). Is this a job for a DIYer? Cheers

So it's time to replace the kitchen as various appliances have or are dying. I am removing the old kitchen and I have come up against two issues which I'm wondering if the panel can advise... House is 2002 and the kitchen I am removing is the original. So firstly, I have discovered in the...

Need to fit a new ABC pump to my SL500 and going to give it a go myself. Got a rough idea of what I need to do, but does anyone have a proper guide for the removal/fitting process. Aware of the bleeding/rodeo issues. Thanks

Hi, Meant to post back a while ago about this but only just wired it up 'properly'. I bought an Apple Universal Dock off eBay and mounted it on what was left of the old Nokia phone kit. Turned out quite nice! The white charging cable isn't there anymore. I wired up a USB charger to the cig...

Sorry if this has been covered before on here. I have a 2012 C-class coupe and the rattles are driving me mad :mad: There is a rattle coming from the bad seat area, I have heard it could be the parcel shelf or something to do with the rear lights?? Also the drivers & passenger seats creak...

Hello, after a while I've decided to do something to the car that was around me head. Heated seats mercedes got scrapped, to take advantage of it are a seat for the PS3. But first I remove fabric to put heating heated rear seats. As sportcoupe is a 2 +2 seater, eh also built a center console...

As a DIY'er, If I were looking for a good, used (older) MB, should I go for a manual or auto in terms of ease of maintenance. I've had autos in the past that have been a nightmare when they went wrong. Mike

Great forum!...this is my first post and I know there’s plenty of talk about rust, but I’m trying to make my mind up which way I should go with it… I am now the (third in line) owner of a 2006 A200 Turbo and have just noticed that she has some minor rust outbreak in a couple of places – on the...

Looking to buy a Merc, most likely between a R129 500SL or a W208 CLK55. I currently own an MGF which i do the majority of servicing on myself. I'm looking at what servicing would cost on a Merc and can't say i'm suprised at the prices, but wonder if it is necessary to have it carried out by a...

I found a DIY video of a complete "metal sunroof" removal for a w202, but I couldn't find one for a glass sunroof. Are they the same? Mine is having a very hard time retracting. I'm sure it needs to be cleaned and the rails re-greased. The last time I had it open, it was filthy in there...

I went to bed all proud of myself last night after fixing every creek from the stairs and the upstairs hallway. Not so proud of myself to wake up to a wet floor in the kitchen, which turned out to be coming from the ceiling. A few hours later I find the culprit. One of my stray screws has gone...

Hi all I'm just wondering if anyone has imported a rairly recent LHD Merc into the UK in recent times? I work for much of the time in Germany although I still officially live in the UK. Most of my business mileage is overseas so it makes sense to buy a left-hooker for business use (I just...
