Hi, I'm Rob & live in the Leicester area, I wasn't really looking for a Merc, I just wanted a fast estate that was well equipped & a bit different,
I happened to stumble across the C32 which seemed to tick all the boxes, After much research on the model & aware of all the possible fault's I...
My W203 C320 has been a bit "odd" since I got it, the handling has always felt wayward, lacking in confidence from the rear, especially as it was jumping and skipping over bumps when turning.
I took it in to my mechanic suspecting a broken spring or blown shock, and asked him to check all...
Well today I had the front upper and lower control arms replaced, as well as tie rod ends and drop links.
Still getting the shimmy through the car, so it MUST be the from the rear, surely?
Does anyone have any help/suggestions or ideas? It driving me a bit potty to be honest!
Thanks
Another crazy idea from Brussels? :doh:

Can anyone recommend a MB specialist to rebuild a 560 sel top end engine around west midlands? & any idea where i can source gaskets, are sourcing parts i.e gaskets, going to be tough?
Hi folks
I stopped updating the "Soup to Nuts" thread (which was intended to the diarise day-to-day experience and costs of running a C63 Coupe as an only car from new), due to some snippy comments from the more ambivalent of the regular posters. Said thread is now closed, but here is the...
I have an s203 and when it hits a grid or a rut the back end jumps out and it moves a few inches. I have had a look at all the bushes and there is hardly any movement in them.The back end is lower than the front tho when you look at it side on.Any suggestions .Do you think it could be the...
hello guys my first post,
i bought a beautiful 1 owner W208 from a friend and really enjoying the car, however the lights just are not bright in comparison of what i am used to and can look a little dated.
I actually polished the plastic lenses by hand with toothpaste as i saw it on youtube...
Following the 8k thread I've always wondered about the 5k über mercs on ebay etc. I always thought they were a non starter....a 5k car with 5k of MOT issues waiting to surface.
Has anyone successfully bought and run a 500/600/AMG without anything much more than the tyres/ins/fuel for more...
Thanks to Richard and Rob at Comand my 2009 c63 has had a facelift.
New front SAM, Headlights, bumper, hood, parking sensors, wiring and lots of coding........ not to mention Richards vast expertise :thumb:
As I have been looking at an extra jack and some adjustable ramps I thought I would do the job properly ,and check how much the Front End of My 2001 E320CDI Estate weighs (seeing as the 320 deisel is a big car with a big engine) so that I can accurately assess the maximum lifting weight of the...
When making sharp left or right turns in my e280, there was a loud creaking noise. Having looked on this site, it seemed the problem was possibly a ball joint.
The car was taken to the local garage and put on the ramps. The mechanic twisted the tire back and forth to try to locate the area of...
Hi guys
I have a question about how slippery and skittish my CLK 230 should've in the rain or on wet roads post rain.
I find my back end slipping out just turning a corner from starting off at lights with very few rpm and wether I'm set in Winter or Standard off the switch. It's starting to...
Just washed my car - starting with the wheels. Utterly filthy, black with dust, mud, poo, you name it. Cleaned the spilt veg oil off with Simoniz Alloy Cleaner (black bottle - seems to be an end of line product). OK so far?
Yeah - so I tried it on the spilt oil around the filler cap. Wow -...
So someone bumped up slowly into me today as i was waiting at traffic lights.
Will need a new bumper i expect as it has a number of scratches and dents/creases. Everything else seems fine but will get it all checked out.
Thankfully all involved healthy and fairly happy.
Will probably do...
Hi all
My C180Estate has an irritating rattle on the back end as its driving along, it sounds like there is something loose in the back, apparently its been checked out at the dealers to no avail.
I remember reading something on here about it but cant remember exactly what!

I have a damaged front spoiler and was wondering if I were to replace it, rather than get it repaired, whether I could use a front end from a 2008 Facelift model or similar ?
I have just facelifted my w211 2004 to a 2008 front end .
The parktronic sensors they used now are smaller so had to replace all front six , we then found the plugs that go into the sensors are different so had to order full loom, then realised the connecters on the control box were different...
