Does anyone have the MB part number for wheel locating studs for a 2005 R230 SL500 ? These used to be about £3 or so each - are they still competitive with those from ebay ? Am I right in thinking that they are 14mm size ?

Every time I am putting a back wheel on a SL, it is a real wrestling match. Years ago I recall having a gadget which was about 6" long and which screwed into the bolt hole. It allowed you to position the wheel and made fitting the bolts a lot easier. Has anyone ever seen such a gadget? Are they...

Hi, I thought I’d share what I’ve found to be a useful method of locating where wind noise comes through on the driver’s side window of my R129. BluTak. I’ve been moulding it and positioning it in various locations. After some trial I eventually found that I need a tapering diameter...

The steering rack seal has finally failed and means a rack refurb is needed. I'm sure I'd seen an EPC diagram for this a couple of months ago somewhere on these forums but after an hour of searching for it again I cannot find it. Please could someone link the EPC diagram for the steering rack...

Hi, I have a 230CLK kompressor 1998 and it seems sluggish and has misfires. I have read up and it seems to be the MAF type of fault. See: http://mbclub.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=57881 However, I can only seem to find the Airflow throttle that is mounted on the Air filter housing. I cannot...

Hi I hope someone a little more technical than me can help. I have an ML320 and there is no audio just a bit of a high pitched noise. I have confirmed that the Bose head unit is working in another vehicle so I am looking at the amp or more to the point just trying to find it. I am assuming...

on my 2004 SL55,I wish to utilise the AV input on the TV tuner. I believe that the tuner lives under the CD changer, but how to get at it has baffled me. I have taken the cover panel off, and undone as many screws as I can see, but cannot remove the changer to see below. Has anyone got any...
