Hi,
I new on here but have been an MB fan/owner/collector for a while. What I am looking for is an SEC 560 for myself. I don't mind the overall condition of the vehicle as I am proposing some 'updates' to the body and the interior of the car, I would prefer the running gear to be...

And wanted to add some important info.
You will note there is mention of the plastic pulley being broken during install.
Now when I removed my original...

Hi,
I have heard that E320CDI can go beyond 500k, or even 1m miles and with right maintenance and repairs I suppose it might well be the case.
However I have a practical question. If buying a 10 year old E320CDI with the expectation of doing 40k miles (overall not per year) in the next 5 years...
250,000 fire-risk cars recalled in US but not UK http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2817131/Mercedes-Benz-safety-row-250-000-fire-risk-saloon-cars-recall-not-Britain.html
After towing a caravan this weekend with my CLK320 and putting 40PSI in the rears (ignoring the guidance from the filler cap for 4 passengers plus luggage) I can confirm that it does not feel "right" when the van was not attached. It has massive AMG wheels/tyres on, on 18" rims and another...

My first diesel car (W211, 2005 E280 CDI). Sometime I forget to wait until the glow plugs light goes off before I start the engine.
What is the risk of me (or my wife who is worse than me remembering to wait) damaging something in the engine? A friend of mine said he had an Audi A4 for 5...
My 93 W124 320E feels a bit twitchy at speed, and requires quite some concentration driving fast, not the relaxed experience I'd become accustomed to in previous Mercs. I have changed quite a bit on my front suspension - new wishbones with ballpoints and front anti-roll bushes. Could it be that...
A friend staying with us was reading the Guardian on line today and reminded me of this.

One of the things I find most frustrating is HGV drivers who pull out in front of you - or even into the space you are occupying, forcing you to swerve into the next lane. Often, with no indication whatsoever.
I know they need to keep up momentum, but this should never take precedence over...
Hi,
I am looking for a new/nearly new E class estate. I was looking at the E220cdi Executive SE auto (7G tronic, full leather, heated seats, avantgarde wheels/suspension, navi 50, etc but no xenon headlights). It is a great deal for a brand new car and is very tempting.
However, I have seen...
A word of warning for anyone who has had a Brabus chip fitted by a main dealer.
My car developed a flat spot recently which was diagnosed as a faulty Brabus chip (D6 III).
My dealer wanted to change it under the car's 3 year manufacturers warranty because, as a dealer fit part, it was...
I had one of those days yesterday when you're reminded all too vividly what's important in life and what's just a minor irritation. I woke to the news of the earthquakes in Christchurch and naturally my mind went immediately to relatives I have there.
I tried to call them but although it was...
