I have this marathon job to do soon.
Am I correct in thinking that there is a useful tool / thingy that you can use to help the caps off the spark plug without pulling too much on the plug leads ?
Do the plug leads themselves pull off the ignition modules ?
The last thing I want to do is to bust...

HI,
I'm a new MB owner, having picked up a 1998 E430 at the weekend that looks great and drives like a magic carpet on steroids...
However, after around 20 miles on a dual carriageway I got to a roundabout and the car wouldn't get out of first. I think it was first. It was doing around 50mph...

My W210 has just started this problem. When braking, the pedal feels a littel softer than normal and you can fel the odd click through the pedal. then, when close to stopping, the ABS system kicks in (you can hear it and feel it) and applies greater pressure without me pushing harder on the...
Changing the viscous coupling on the E430 looked a pretty-simple job.
(Bad mistake #1)
I guess the photos speak for themselves.
Someone has been there before me and has butchered the 36mm hex nut that secures the coupling to the water pump pulley.
I have given it everything I've got with the...

Hi,
Car electical problems;
Over the last couple of months ESP ABS & BAS faults appeared on the cluster when driving above 50mph. Carsoft read the code for a faulty brake light switch, replaced with Mercedes part.
However this week, over 50mph ESP ABS & BAS faults ficker on the cluster on off...
As title suggests, I need a new front spring for my E430 estate. I can't find anywhere that lists them. Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place, but I can only find smaller engine models listed and most say non sport.
My NSF spring has broken where it seats onto the lower arm.
Thanks

I think price has come down a lot since the last listing!?
I think the seller is a little off beam here, rust, dents, electrical faults and other stuff and he wants £2500, granted you could make him an offer but would he accept realistic offers?
