Hi there, Iv a C200 W202 on which Iv just put some 18s on, 8.5j X 35 offset with 225/40s on all round, I've just bought some 40mm lowering springs and was also thinking about changing the spring pads, I have #3(18mm) on there at the moment but was thinking about using #1(8mm) for an extra 10mm...

What do we think, especially those of our esteemed membership who are in, or linked to the motor trade? How will the current fuel price, especially petrol, affect the price of 6- & 8-cylinder cars? Is there much "haggle room"?

So yesterday I had my winter tyres fitted on the 201 and on the way home I started getting a horrible noise coming from the front O/S. It sounded like a rubbery graunchy sort of noise when turning the steering wheel. Initially I thought it was a tyre rubbing but concluded that it couldn't be...

I have a white W124 estate and i need the front bumper painting, just trying to find the paint code for the two tone part of my car, anyone know what it would be or where i would find it. The car is the same colour as this one.

alright peeps, like it says, already sorted a C36 rear bumper and skirts, just on the look out for a C36 front bumper. But due to my driveway being at a really steep angle there is not alot of clearance at all with the standard bumper, just wondering how much lower the C36 bumper is with the...

Well as you can see from the title I want to know if I can lower this car?, if so its it difficult and where can I buy kits or parts. The thing is I need to replace the rear springs and looking at it I kind of like the lower rear.

I need some advice on replacing these. The o/s/f ball joint is worn and requires renewal of the whole arm. I've removed it and, on inspection, discovered that the inner end is bolted to the chassis through an elongated slot. Is this to allow for adjustment? At the moment to get me mobile...

How much lower is the W210 avantgarde compared to the standard ones? Im looking at lowering it more, but need to know how low is already compared the non A/G models. Thanks

This is the aluminium jobbie that the LOWER end of the damper and spring attach to. I have noticed mine has a small hairline crack on the outside web at the damper end. I've ordered a replacement from GSF, due in tomorrow. Question is this, I have popped off the cover and can't quite see what...

Hello all, I have nearly finished my Mercedes 190 but just trying to lower the merc more than the 40mm I already have. I am looking at 50mm/60mm but can't find any springs/kits that can do this - they all seem to just say 40mm. I have only replaced the springs with stock shocks - would new...

As per title chaps and chapesses I'm struggling to find the part number for this part. Can anyone help? :dk: Thanks

My missus has an Alfa 147 and it has just gone in for 4 new tyres. The old ones were 195/60R15,88V and I have just spotted that the new ones are 195/60R15,88H. I have contacted the garage and they are happy to change them for 'V's (not much difference in cost) if I want, so that's not part of...

Hello My W203 is due an MOT and it was mentioned to me that the fromt arms were split (either upper or lower but not both). I think that this is an MOT fail - is this correct? Apparently it is quite hard to see but maybe seen by the eagle eyed tester. Any comments please? Thank you.

Hi I have an 05 A180 CDI (40,000 miles) and it has always been difficult to change into lower gears - it is like you have to struggle to get them into gear - first and second particularly. We have been told the linkage is ok and that a replacement clutch is the best option and would cost...
