Hi guys, it's been absolutely ages since I sadly offloaded my S124. Should never have done it. And after spending 2 years trying to find a car as good as a merc, I've decided to get back on the ladder. Picked up a really lovely E200komp on a 57plate. Oh God, it's great to be back, guys

Hey. I'm Matt, a very happy first time Merc owner. As the title suggested though, this is not my first rodeo. I have been working on my Dad's 210 & 203 for best part of 500,000 miles between them. My brother had an old C Class to (230k with AMG wheels and Burbury Seats) but he ruined it in a...

Hi, I have a W211 E320 CDI which has just failed it's MOT on emissions. The car passed the smoke test with a reading of 0.02 when the limit was 1.50 but the tester said it had failed due to the excessive visible amount of smoke and stopped the test at that point. I was unaware the car was...

Now, I really like the W164 ML63 AMG, and I mean I like it a lot, but who on earth would pay £70k for one with LHD, even if it does have a Brabus body kit, wheels and low miles?? No other Brabus mods are mentioned: 2009 Mercedes-Benz ML63 BRABUS WIDESTAR LHD Mrs D's might have a few more...

Had all sorts of warnings on dash when starting from cold, started with light sensor visit workshop etc. Went to localish specialist (Gary Warburton/Fleetwood) he hooked it up and said the alternator was charging OK but some over voltage errors. He said he had seen this before and it might be...

Hi all Is there any way to keep the primary cats and have long tube headers? Im contemplating them in the future but dont want problems come MOT time.

to waste any more time at your counter :devil:. Three times recently I have been to ECP for bulbs, screenwash etc. On each occasion I have stood around and waited for the single counter person to deal with people in front of me, whilst behind the glass, 4 or 5 other staff are manning headsets...

Is it normal for a long wait for these.

Hi I am looking for 8-10 year old E320CDI Black saloon (or almost any colour estate) with light coloured interior. I came across 183,000m Long Wheel Base Limousine but based on the pictures it does not seem to be too long. I am quite worried about buying anything non-standard. So the question...

Hello all, I've been a fan of Mercedes for a while now. My Merc history started with a 190 before my first c class, a 2000 reg 200 sport. After defecting to lexus for a few years with an is200 I them bought a 2005 180k ********** which was a lovely car. Then two years ago I bought our current...

does anyone have any idea how long it would take a garage to replace a thermostat on a ML270? ideally i would give it a go myself but not something i would think is feasible to tackle at the side of the road so i want to get an idea of what a garage will charge if i source the parts. As...

I am the proud new owner of an astral silver, low mileage R 107, 380 SL...buying a car like this is like reminds me of when I brought my first son home from the hospital-ok, we now have a baby, what do we do? So, I was hoping that the cumulative wisdom from this forum may be able to lend me a...

As it says on the tin gents. I am undecided what to do. I like the sound of my AMG but you can always have more.... Right ?? I don't want to part with £5k for the full IPE system so I'm looking at either the headers being swapped OR the rear exhausts? Don't want it to be ridiculously loud...

Hi, long time lurker here! Joined the forum back in Sept 2013 (had to check my profile it's ben so long) and picked up some great information. About time I made an introduction. Had a few W201's and W124's. Currently got a 190e 2.5 16V, a 300ce that's hopefully sold and possibly...

30,000 miles, two years, five years...?? What is the general consensus on their longevity once replaced...?

Does anyone have experience with loglife exhausts. I have a long life agent near me who tells me he can make my E55k sound like a c63 for £400. Would this be a silly move or should I look elsewhere for exhaust replacement?? Can the e55k be altered to sound like the current e63 biturbo?? Which...
