Last friday, while i was picking up from Merc dealer a new centre prop rubber & bearing, i asked them how much to fit them, answer - 2.6 hours job = £234 + vat, :eek:
My local stainless exhaust centre did the job for me today, the guy had never done one on any Merc before & he was finished in 1...
Over the past week my internet speed has been dropping, until last Friday it was 1-1.25Mb on an alleged 60Mb feed.
My dear friends at NTL, with unusual haste, sent an "engineer" out yesterday. He fiddled around a bit, went off to the box housing the cable end, came back fiddled some more and...
This appeared outside my shop yesterday
Within 2 hours of it appearing 2 people had walked into the side of cars turning left plus a good 3 near misses :wallbash:
Just washed my car - starting with the wheels. Utterly filthy, black with dust, mud, poo, you name it. Cleaned the spilt veg oil off with Simoniz Alloy Cleaner (black bottle - seems to be an end of line product). OK so far?
Yeah - so I tried it on the spilt oil around the filler cap. Wow -...

Hello
Having now a car with command, the best feature I find is so far the handsfree car kit. It has a Viseoo in the armrest and seems to work very well.
My wifes car however just has a std head unit? it it an easy swap for a bluetooth model or wrong wiring etc? is there an easy way to add...
I have a replacement pair of headlights that I am going to fit, but before I do I thought it would make sense to coat them with something that will make the many many insects we get here just slide off. One of those Gtechniq type products - any suggestions; also for grille and bumper boomerangs...

Hi all, I have a 2003 e270cdi W211 with an faulty SBC.
Tried getting a free fix from MB but no luck. They quoted approx £2300.
Even a good indy garage wants £1500 to replace.
So am faced with the decision of whether to sell the car and put the £2300 towards the cost of a newer one or pay up...
Tomorrow I go into hospital for a 6 hour operation to remove a tumour, shorten my oesophagus and relocate my stomach upwards. I cant say I am looking forwards to it, its not so much the actual operation more the initial few weeks after it. I will be in hospital for about 3 weeks and convalescing...
Just before the end of March I was toying with different car options, one being to break the vow of a lifetime and go down the lease route.
So, finally made a choice of car, checked the sites and WOW! The new quarter has brought prices that are at least double the amazing deals at the end...
Back to my search for a new or near new MB E class. I ended buying a used Jaguar XF after my last search and I'm so happy with both it and dealer servcing that I'm keeping it however I still want the E class also.
I've been into my "local" Jaguar showroom and been suprised, once again, at the...
My father was driving my car yesterday and some numpty pulled into him and now my beautiful CLS is in pain. I've called the insurance company and hopefully everything will be sorted out. I'm going to be using alf230 on here for the mechanical repairs and body work. I've used terry and jay...
I live on a country lane that never gets gritted or snow ploughed so the Merc just sits on the drive, this year however we need 2 cars.
Has anyone tried snow tyres on a W210 and how much difference did it make ?
Cheers
