Hi guys, Used to have a old C230 - hence being a new member for nearly 10 years! Been looking at the merits of the Jag SV8, S6 and of course E55. The later is certainly the preferred choice. Any other ideas that might fit the bill - I have an optimistic budget of around 8k, fortunately...

Registered a while back but this is my first post. Had a 2013 E250 Estate from new, though that's already gone back to Mercedes back in September. Have been tempted by many of the cars in the classifieds though I can't reply or PM! Thought I'd better get my post count going. Mainly...

Just needs a little tune/checkover maybe... Gearbox Modulator upgrade? Thanks in advance..

Ok peeps what years did the Wiring loom issues appear with w140 / r129's ?

Hello, Lee here! Username changed to reflect new ownership. You may remember me from such threads as "why can't I find a C63", and "why can I still not find a C63." ;-) Very excited to say that I finally picked up a C63 in the specification that I've been lusting after for what feels like...

Hello My Mercedes C250TD was running sweet....on tuesday evening it ran a bit low on fuel - the light was on. On Wednesday it wouldnt start in the morning, it would try to turn over but nothing I got hold of a can of easy start. I sprayed for about a second in the air box and car burst into...

As our TV is having a variety of temperamental breakdowns I've just started looking for a new TV. Now I have a headache! So what do I want? (need) 42" probably. Smart TV. This looks useful to have and I think it would get used. I won't list pieces I've read but what would you buy and...

Hi folks, My first post here having just picked up a 4-month old C350 CDI Sport Plus Estate in Tenorite Grey, with the 18" Black/Silver faced AMGs. I've had winter tyres on my last car and found them hugely impressive when occasioning out in the winter months with work, not only the snow...

If this is the sign of things to come, this car wont be around for long with me.... I'm really not impressed that a 5 year old car with 23k miles and full Mercedes Service history should need a new rear Air Suspension/shock absorber strut. So £1600 later and both rear struts replaced (as...

Hi all Not entitled to upgrade anytime soon. Am transferring from one number to another and happy to continue using my Bberry Bold 9700 as my main phone. Need to carry 2nd phone for six/twelve month crossover period with sim card for old number. Looking for something with long battery life...

Hi Chaps Looks like i'm in limp home "ish" mode? Symptoms are:- wont rev above 3000 just like a limiter, car works fine below 3000revs and I'm still getting about 11km/litre on a run so i am guessing my MAF is ok? I have another one i can swap in. Where is the air temp sensor? could...

I got my W209 CLK on the 1st (59 plate :p ) and added the iPod kit, Parrot CK310 and Parrot Multican. The iPod works and I can skip forward and back with track names displayed on the dash. The Parrot works - Multican lights up green and the parrot powers up and 'goodbyes' with the ignition...

Now my 3 year waranty is up, I don't want to use MB dealers if I can avoid it! Anyone know a good, reliable, affordable MB specialist in the Harpenden, Luton, Dunstable general area? I have a brilliant Saab specialist just a couple of miles away for my 93 Convertible, but have yet to find a...

may get shot down in flames cos after all we are an MB thread, but I suspect there are quite a few here who are not quite one-marque. If you'd done say, five older cars a resto's, eg late 70's/80s all MB, and fancied a new project, but wanted to keep your options open, ie MB first choice...
