idea

Just had a wild idea - - just how good (or bad) are CLK500s (209)?... I read somewhere that the CLK and CLS were designed by the same guy, an American called Michael Fink who also, oddly, designed the Maybach...

Ive been recording 'Chop Shop' on the DMAX channel, where they take a wrecked/crappy car and make something out of it. Whilst the designs are a little (alot) tastless in general, the guys clearly have skills with metal work (no fibre-glass rubbish) and with some decent designs I reckon they...

2000 MERCEDES CL600 AUTO SILVER on eBay (end time 14-Jan-10 11:02:29 GMT)

I have a 1991 300TE, which is very clean underneath, is good mechanically and needs just careful maintenance to keep it happy. There is some rust on one of the arches (both on the outer area, which is a surface blemish, and some on the inner arch, which seems a little more severe). There is...

Would it be posible (assuming a video out is available on a TomTom/modern satnav) to connect an uptodated SatNav to the display on an 2001 W210 Comand?

Right, I am going to install a Comand system sooner or later but when I do, it will be a unit with the green Video In connector. Now, I am proposing to build an inline "dongle" that will split out the video from the ipod and route it to the green FAKRA while the audio and power is passed...

Hello Wifes A class has had a rattle from the exhaust for a little while, was told during the service it could be the cat. Then informed it was a braket round the exhaust. Just took it to a local garage where I know the owner and put it on the ramps, turns out its the back box gone. Its...

01 W210 boot opens and shuts fine, well until last night in the petrol station and it wont slam shut:mad:, bungee strap it down, to work remove bungee and it locks and shuts fine. If you operate the lock with a screwdriver with the boot open it clicks in and out as it should, sounds okay, all...

Hi All, I have an ELM327 interface with lots of various software, also car soft software. I want to buy an 32 pin to serial lead which will fit my interface box and car, but will it interact with the box and software! I assume its just software and the box just interfaces with the software...

Has anyone paid to have all 4 arches done on a w210 E Class? I've just been quoted £390+vat which i think is a bit steep, i don't have much to compare it with at the moment but i'll be getting other quotes over the next few days. Work getting done was all 4 arches, leading bottom edges of...

Need an idea on this wiring loom part number its off my W215 and is behind the central console. 215 540 08 06 DJ 2 J 695 5 13 01.08.01 , Q04 E3132 *01* 02 D1653 As I have just taken the navigation cd apart to clean inside. Before doing so I saw one end of the above was not plugged into...

Hello, After fitting a new catalytic converter to my 94 E280 estate i noticed that the metal making up the 'w' bracket holding it to the car was very thin. I've done a bit of looking around and can't find a supplier and the dealership wanted to sell me extra bits I didn't want. Any ideas...

I was speaking to a guy yesterday who does LPG conversions and he says it would be worth it on my twin turbo as i will save alot of money on fuel and would hardly lose out on performance, he's done many Skylines and other Jap and German cars. I am still unsure so perhaps if anyone here knows...

I have an idea which would be easy to implement, be a simple safety feature which would cost virtually nothing to MB per car (I think). I thought of it while driving on the motorway... a eureka moment if you like. Now, it may come to diddly zilch, but I'd like to approach Mercedes with it and...

Hi There are no cupholders in my W124..... I was thinking about buying one (or maybe two, for the passenger aswell): These are for sale on ebay, and this colour looks like it will match my mushroom interior. They fold away when not in use. I was thinking it could be mounted to...
