    S-Class 320Cdi - is a 10 year old car likely a bad idea?

    Guys i have got this notion of buying a 10 year old 2003 s-class 320cdi, my budget wont allow anything newer. Anyway do these cars require a lot of attention and things replaced as they get to this age. Im good at mechanics and dont mind doing fixes to my car, im just a bit reluctant due to the...

    Spacers - are they 100% a good idea

    OK I understand how wheel offsets work etc. so if I have a wheel with an offset of ET44 that goes on a car that needs an offset of 32 I need a 12mm spacer to get the ET44 wheel offset correctly. Now that all makes sense mathematically and I know I would need hubcentric spacers etc. but assuming...

    Any idea what this is, Spotted on M3 today

    Saw this on the M3 today and tried my paparazzi best to get some spy shots and to be honest failed quite miserably. There were 2 being tested and i spotted them near the Guildford slip road. I am quite sure its a Merc but its so heavily disguised its difficult to work out what model this is...

    Thick wall steel tubing, 4mm ID? Or a better idea?

    I need to join two 86 cm lengths of 4 mm diameter carbon fibre rod end-to-end to make a hoop of 55 cm diameter. Carbon fibre rod is pretty tough stuff and my attempts so far (with the materials I had to hand) haven't been too successful! I first tried brass tube - this simply snapped with a...

    Not my idea of a good driver

    Since buying her a 3.5 w209 clk my wife has persistantly been hitting the kerbs. I have told her about it and she insists she is a good driver . I got a call to say she had a flat instantly after hitting a kerb and was stuck.. Of course a new tyre was needed which cost £175. Using female...

    Hi everyone. Looking to buy a used CLK 270 and I've got my eye on one at the moment and its got the six speed manual gearbox. Back in the nineties, I used to work at a Mercedes dealership and I remember hill starts could be interesting in manual box cars. Is that still the case? So what are...

    W140 - a daft idea as a daily drive

    Mercedes-Benz S320 (W140) For Sale (1997) on Car And Classic UK When my E36 goes into the garage for the winter I'll be needing some wheels. Just watched Transporter and found myself thinking how good those black S Classes looked. Mind you, his 7 series BMW was nice too. Am I deluded...

    advice needed on turbo conversion idea on W203 C180 2.0L

    had a thought about doing a turbo conversion to my C180 which I have owned for the past 9 years. Since I was looking at p/x for a E320 cdi the value of my car isn't worth much via trade in. So I've decided to keep the old bus and still get a E class. I have done conversions before on Volkswagens...

    Having 2 cars for a short amount of time? Bad idea or any way to keep the cost down?

    The plan was to sell the current car, and buy something bigger and more powerful. The market is currently over saturated, and I am really struggling to attract any attention, when there are some good deals to be had on the cars I want. It may take a while till the day I sell, and then I...
