Have a 11.7L DI vessel which I fill with MB-115 resin. It works really well but the resin doesn't last that long and is expensive. I only use it for a final rinse so it's not used excessively. My water going into the vessel is about 313ppm. Would I be better off for longevity using MB-151 resin...

Hi all, I am new here and this is the first problem I have had with the car, as it started before I bought it! I will try and keep this brief, but any help welcome! When I viewed the car before purchasing I realised the air con would not turn on. We found a fault code stored for a flap...

Hi all, I am considering buying a merc SL55 amg that is located near Basildon in Essex, I am up in Lancashire and don't really have time at the moment to go down to view it and not being massively technical I am probably not the best person to evaluate the car other than aesthetic things. I...

I have read a post on an American forum that has got my interest. Basically what I would like to to know is are there any technical improvements between the r230 and the r231 models? I know the obvious as far as engine and bodywork but it's the traction control/braking/suspension all the...

Folks, The many VIN decoders I have tried don't mention a DPF at all so I assumed I didn't have one... Looking around the turbo outlet to the exhaust yesterday, I saw the exhaust section bulge by about 20mm Diameter for about 120mm, then go back to a straight pipe again. This was all quite...

Right guys.... Been looking around and seeing a few options but I'm wondering what is the best value for money/ performance. I'm trying to work out what engine to shoe horn into an190e and what base to use? I'm guessing a 2.6 manual is a good starter as the base. Few engines I've seen but...

I've decided I do want it a little lower with keeping it stock. I've seen the sport lines, how much lower are they than my stock 300ce 24 valve? What would get me a good drop similar to the sport line and what other difference does a sport line have over mine? Apart from badges on the...

My car has a number of annoying messages that sometimes appear on the dash and before playing the 'could be this, or could be that expensive game', I thought I'd see if there are any garages or engineers that people here could recommend. Messages I've seen include: . Electronic power control...

When I bought my Macbook Pro I used to be able to import videos in AVCHD format into iMovie, edit them films and then burn them to a DVD. Now for some strange reason that can only be explained as 21st century progress I've lost that function as I 'updated' my Mac with the latest software...
