merc

I'm not sure if I'm the only one but I'm always looking on Autotrader at what cars are around and it always amazes me what you can get for not much money. CL600, CLS55, E55, ML63, S65....I could go on and all for under £15k. All of those types of cars offer a hell of a lot of car and...

Hi all Am in the process of looking for my first Mercedes. I have decided on the R171 SLK, my last car was a BMW Z3 3.0 which I loved, but as always its time to move on. Looking forward to learning lots and also hopefully give something back too. Cheers Jackster

Hi all New member here. I'd like to start by saying thanks to everyone here as I've been taking onboard information from this forum for a while now, in preparation for my most recent purchase. I've just bought a 2008 ML280 (W146). This is my first merc, frankly it's my first car that's not...

I'll start..just a bit of fun really to see what others do.. I cleaned the V chamber between the two banks of cylinders from oil above the servo motor and cleaned also lubed my EGR Valve all ready for my part to arrive then I have to battle the ducting back on over new seals...

Two years ago I brought a 2003 W211 Estate 3.2 Diesel. Firstly, what an engine the Straight 6 is, smooth, powerful and reliable. I have enjoyed the performance within the restrictions of the UK motoring laws - acceleration and pick up has been wonderful, as was the fuel consumption for such a...

Firstly thank you for allowing me to join this fantastic club. I have a small problem ( i hope) in that when my engine is up to max temp i only get cold air in the cabin. Yet if i stop the car and park up for 4/5mins then restart the engine i get luke warm air even though my temp setting is at...

Having a garage clear out and I have two brand new unsealed 5l containers of genuine Mercedes oil. It was purchased from Merc Newcastle just before xmas. I think its Petronas oil but not sure, I used it for my E55 for many years. They cost £34 but Im happy for them to go to a local Merc owner...

Hi all, Picking up my 2013 C63 AMG tomorrow.. very excited.. :bannana: After 3 years and lots of motorway miles in a brisk but safe and efficient Audi A7 BiTDI i'm looking forward to grinning again and sweating as i exit damp roundabouts.. I've really missed rear wheel drive, and...

Hi All, New here, Have had my new C Class 220d Sport (w205) for a few weeks now, much much nicer than the 1-Series I had before. Few years ago i had a CLA 180 and changed it to the BMW for some reason thinking i was being more sensible getting a smaller diesel, but while it drove nice i...

CLK63 not the £200k one this is a still rare cabrio with the 6.3 the first car to get it. 2006 with 100k miles - I have never bought anything so leggy in my life but as 4 seat cabrios go what options do I have (had a Mustang and a E500 and an SL with tiny seats) Spotted in cars and...

Hello from the otherside - after joining in 2007 when I got a CLS55 I have since had a SL55 and a E500 convertible but now as the bitter reality of 7 year old twins at 53 slams home financially I was forced to cut down. One last hurrah was a new Mustang convertible last year but it was no Merc...

Hi folks..My vito went in to the local Merc garage as it was having problems starting on cold mornings. Glow plug issues were eliminated. Hard sooty build up was found around the injectors (the back death as i understand it) and two of the injectors werefound to be 'blowing'. Hours were spent...

It really is this easy ! I fitted a 10amp diode between fuses 6 and 8. Note the direction. Now when the ignition is on the front and rear sidelights come on and the headlights come on dim dip. The dashboard lights and number plate lights do not come on. The only downside is that the lights are...
