Hi All, The more I wash and worship my new object of affection, the more I hate the fact that the previous owner loved kerbs more than the road. As a result, I am becoming more and more convinced that refurbing or replacing the wheels on my car is a necessity. Has anyone had wheels...

I have fixed my contact spring for the steering wheel, saved me £80 or trawling though the scrap yards. This fault arrised through my ignorance of how this area worked, I.E. I thought it used contact rings and not a 'spring' (long wire in practise). When I changed my steering gaitor...

Finally, I have got round to doing a pukka fix for the W202 (facelift) wiper. It took approx 6 hours over xmas in my Dads workshop. This was good because my Dad was there to help (read 'does most of the work) AND he gets to try out his new lathe... Firstly, remove the wiper from the car and...

The dilemma I have is that the car has several items that will need fixing. If all done .. it would be almost another £1k. The car is a 1998 C230 Espirit estate and only worth about £1.5k I got the car as a run around as I do minimal miles. Is it better to sell it and try to find a better...

Hi Guys, My first post, I know it sucks but I'm a long time lurker! Just bought a M reg E300 Diesel, the preglow light was coming on after starting so I knew there was an issue..... When I went to change the plugs I found that the first glow plug has already been broken off, with a small stud...

Local MB garage quoted over 4,000 quid to replace and respray 2 front wings and tailgate door and repair and respray rear wheel arches. Are they having a laugh or is this a reasonable price? :cool:

Had a minor pixel problem on my W208CLK and had tried all the fixes involving rubber bands, wedges, mouse mats and the like and nothing seemed to be able to get the four (I said it was minor) pixels in my gear selector window to reappear. As a last resort I eventually encouraged the original...
