Whilst changing a tyre on my R129, I was aware of a spot of fluid, (which turned out to be brake fluid) on the ground. After a quick check of the fluid level and the drive, I found the culprit. The front end of the high pressure brake pipes feeding both the left and right rear are leaking, (or...

Have cleaned out the black death, re installed the injectors. Had quite a lot of splutter before it would run. The EDC light comes on under heavy acceleration and the engine dies completely. Slip it back into park or N and it restarts again. Had a mate run a code machine and we get this...

Hi all Just waved goodbye to my 507 As it left on the back of a flat bed truck after what sounds and looks like a power steering pump and/or rack failure. Fortunately I was about a mile from the house when it happened. I am however very worried as I had just changed tyres to 245 fronts and...

Hi, just before Christmas I bought an Ecutool EC601 error code reader, to read codes on a June 2004 W211 E220cdi A/garde, from Mike West at Gendan. When I tried to use the unit I got a communications error, and having had a look through the user manual the same error was explained. However...

After a (mostly) successful thermostat swap yesterday, today was discs and pads. Had all the bits ordered from ECP. First thing I noticed was that no picture or howto that I've seen anywhere looks like the calipers fitted to the front. It was soon pretty clear that the pads I had were not...

I posted on here a year ago saying how happy I was with my 2000 Almandine black CL500. And, for almost exactly a year I had fairly trouble free motoring aside from the parking sensors failing and central locking intermittently failing. The ABC light came on then went out, I ignored it as...

Hi all, My c32 just went for its mot and it failed on emitions. The local garage tweaked up the mixture through star to get it through the test but I want to sort it permanently. I recently fitted k&n filters but apart from that it is completely stock. Should I be getting a remap or...

Just had my R129 fail the MOT on emissions after the secondary cat delete I had done in April. Car has done under 700 miles since the previous MOT, which was fine. Luckily I'd put it in early just in case - I've got till the end of the month to get it sorted. I've not heard of anyone else...

When I bought the C63 AMG PPP Estate, I was immediately overwhelmed by the amount of spurious information it was conveying to me. It flashed and beeped and vibrated warnings like some kind of health and safety Tourette’s sufferer. Gradually, one by one and with much detective work I have either...
