So I bought a 1991 190E 2.6 with 151,000 miles and it was overheating. I put a new head gasket in and got the head shaved. I got it all back together today and now it has the hardest time starting cold! And then once its running and warmed up it seems to limp along. Doesn't run smooth, seems...
My recently acquired 2007, 211, travelled from Germany to here in Kyrgyzstan on the train. It also stood 4 weeks in a train distribution yard in Lithuania. Since I got the car it looked ok but the paint never felt silky smooth it always felt slightly rough. My 210 is clayed maybe twice a year &...
I normally tend to keep an eye on my engine and over the last few weeks have noticed a general build up of dirt around the turbo and one morning there was a minor 'incident' where the car juddered for a moment under acceleration.
I've finally got around to cleaning up the engine this...
Hi I do my own basic servicing on my w211 (oil changes, Air filter and brakes). I've never changed a fuel filter or sure where it is? Any advice would be appreciated or if anyone has a link to some instructions that would be great.

Was seriously considering finding time to get CLK55 to Olly for its first service since I bought it in view of the praise he gets here - undoubtedly well deserved.
Time and work just did not permit this so looked at reviews for more local indies and contacted Terry at Wayne Gates (Alf on this...
seems someone has left a nice scuff on the bumper near the wheel arch which I would class as minor. Can anyone suggest a decent body shop or sprayer that could do a good job on getting it back to normal.
Many thanks in advance
Hi guys, just took the plunge and ordered yesterday. Gone for the coupe in tenorite grey and the optional 18" 5 spokes. Was really hard to pick a colour so went for grey as I've never had a grey car. I suppose I have time to change my mind tho. Any tenorite owners out there?
Hoping to get an...

the problem is described here - M104 SLS Reservoir Leak

I was on a mission to sort it. Luckily BRABUSK8 came to the rescue also...
Hi All,
I've been looking at a car that I'm considering buying. The car is very straight, with very little rust (the sills, wheel arches etc. are fine). The only issue is that it's had a not great paint job at some point in the past. It's a shame because the rest of the car is great, and...
