It's time to replace my E320CDI Estate and I would like a used E350 CDI Estate (post 2009 model), as I particularly like the six cylinder engines, but I am dithering. First:- I have now reduced my motoring from 12k miles per year down to about 7-8k mile,pa and I am wondering if this is a...

Prior to searching for info on the best way to lubricate my R500's sunroof, I would have used any old grease I'd got lying around in the garage. After Googling, and spending a while reading up on the subject, I'm glad I didn't use any old rubbish! The Mercedes-approved stuff only seems to come...

Hi MBCLUB- Looking to modify the engine to get more acceleration performance. Apart from a remap, can anyone recommend modifications to the Diesel engine ? Such as the bypass of exhaust gas recirculation EGS? Possibly larger turbo but rather lower costing part etc. Healthy options...

Would appreciate a bit of collective wisdom. I'm shortly getting a new car (S212 - 350 Cdi). My objective is to keep it medium to long term. I could just service it according to the manufacturers schedules as indicated by the electronics in the car. But some years ago, best advice was to change...

Hi I am in the research stage before the purchase of a facelift E220CDI from 2007. I chose that era (post 2006) as these cars are viewed now as very reliable. I am trying to establish the maintenance costs of such a car if I do the work myself (change of fluids, filters, and brake pads/disks)...

Hi, I'm looking for a hobby car, and have decided that I want something a bit "classic". Initially I was looking for a British sports car (having previously owned some Triumphs in the past) or maybe a Moggie Traveller but, as we love our S211 280 CDI estate, have wondered about an R129 SL 320...

As per title the wife's slk230k's kompressor has no mention of maintenance in the service book or history and at 69,000 miles would it be time to have the kompressor oil changed and if so is it an easy/reasonably priced job?

Hi I have just purchased an E220 with panoramic roof. I happened to be having a crack in a windscreen on a different car repaired by an autoglass technician when a discussion on sunroof maintenance started up. He recommended using Vaseline on the rubber seal to prevent brittleness caused by heat...
