easy

Hi, I'm a newbie looking for some advice. I had my 2006 reg C180 estate serviced yesterday and was told that the offside front camber arm ball joint is needing replaced as the bush is sticking straight up and I believe it's quite urgent. It seems quite a costly job at over £300 and I...

I've just had to replace the nearside sidelight bulb on my w221 S-class. What a job! I previously managed to change a dipped beam bulb by moving the screenwash reservoir and squeezing my hand in. No such luck with sidelight bulb. I had to jack up the car, remove the wheel and take off the arch...

Hi All I was just wondering if other members had started what should have been an easy maintenance job on their car but turned out to be far more than that. For example: I needed to get to the the wiper linkage on my C Class Coupe. I followed the Haynes manual and it seemed a very simple...

Just spent the entire afternoon trying to cleans years of accumulated brake dust and light brown crud off some genuine 16" Cups (Don't know if they're 1's or 2's 'cos I don't know the difference!) I bought at the weekend for the 968 cab.Started with the 16x8 rears as they're going on the car...

Hi, I'm a newbie with a 2001 W210 E55 AMG Saloon:rock:. Great forum, its helped me a lot by reading the advice given by some of you guys! Already have a question, My front discs and pads need replacing, and I've been looking around for Brembo Front discs and pads. I came across one but, it...

I know that PCS has done four or five C43 to C55 conversions, but I was just wondering how easy (or hard) would it be to convert the C36 using a W210 E55 as a donor into a C55? I'm getting into this restoring lark, so I thought instead of getting the C36 up and running, then buying a C43 to...

Hey guys, I've narrowed down a few things that I wanted to replace since I've heard that they are cheap and easy to DIY and also brings back some lost performance and prevents other issues. Currently my '99 C230K is running decent for a 151,000 mile car. A new transmission mount is being put...

Hi, due to changing jobs with a long commute I've traded in my Volvo S80 T6 (18mpg) for a 2006 A Class 3dr Avantgarde SE (55mpg diesel). I have been searching around and there seems to be lots of threads asking how to disable cornering fog lamps. But nobody that I can find has asked how to...

Looking at a few lowish mileage S320's and I thought I'd ask the question. How suspicious should I be?

I posted in the General forum by mistake.... http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/general-discussion/133217-w212-swapping-audio-20-nav-50-easy.html

I know what is involved with fitting Comand to my W212, but just been offered a Nav 50 unit and screen for peanuts. Is this pretty much plug and play when going from an Audio 20? Will it need coding to the car? It is out of another UK car, no Harman sound like mine etc. Also...

Having found the existing ‘Sports’ seats in my SL350 uncomfortable on long journeys, I’ve come to the conclusion that the cure may be to install the less aggressively sculptured, and less body-hugging ‘Comfort’ seats. (The one ones with the narrow ribs running back and forth). My question is...

Hello all. I have a w169 20006 with audio 20. Am I right in thinking I can purchase the NTG 2.5 HDD and simply swap the units over to get sat nav, Bluetooth phone,etc? Anyone done this/have a walkthrough/know of potential issues? Thanks Babybenz

Going to put a order in on Monday for the H&R ARB front and rear kit for the W210 320 cdi estate. I have done many ARBs before on different cars but how easy is it on the merc? Is it a engine lift job or will it slide out? I guess the rear will be a piece of cake. Any thoughts would be...

Hello Noticed the past couple of weeks my brakes have squeaked a little. I just put this down to hardly using the car. Anyway while on holiday (towing the van) a light has flickered on the dash. Turns out its the brake pad light (I guess the fronts) So as its been a while since I've done...
