My W210 handles excellently on the twisty roads round here thanks to it's new lowered springs and AMG wheels, but it's a bit rattly and clunky over potholes. So I decided to replace the ARB links, and checked out how much suspension bushes would be. Not cheap.
Then I checked out strongflex.eu...
Hi Guys and Girls,
My Names Chris and I have finally lost my Merc Owners Virginity and ended up with a 2003 W203 C200 Kompressor in Silver. She has a few Body work issues but nothing that cant be fixed over time. Its Avantgarde Spec and only has 86000 on the clocks. My wife has owned a...
A thread about my W210 a couple of weeks back got me thinking about which Mercedes models I think were the best ever, and I've whittled it down to my top 5:
W198 300SL - gorgeous looking car, well ahead of it's time with the spaceframe chassis, and gullwing doors too! What's not to like...
I have a belt tensioner, pulley and shock to fit Mercs with (I believe but double check) any M111 4 cyl petrol engine. They were fitted to our C180 very shortly before it was scrapped.
The tensioner is Litens (they make these for MB), pulley is Gates and the shock SKF.
£35 posted. Good...
Some interesting old Mercs to view at this specialised seller. Other marques too. Looks pretty cool, may pay it a visit.

Hi all
Desperately need to replace my upgraded 18" alloys as they get kerbed too much being that they have zero tyre protection!
I think my stock alloys that are now sold were 17x7" et49 PCD 5x112 with 215/45/17 or 205/45/17 tyres
I'm looking at going back to 17" just need a cheap...
Hi everyone. I've recently joined mainly to try get some information/what to look for as I may be in the market for a Merc in the coming weeks should I get the payrise I'm hoping for. I currently drive a 17yr old Renault Clio which has been in the family since new. It still runs like new, but...
Get my GLC tomorrow, wondered how many more new ones will be going to forum owners tomorrow and who'll be first. I have a 3 hour train ride to get mine so it'll be late morning for me.....
Morning all,
Been lurking around on the forum for a long time prior to joining.
I have just received news of a new deployment and now considering whether to pay for long term storage for the cars (3-5 years) or sell.
In particular the 1994 E500 Limited, 1995 E500 Limited and the 1987 500SL...
Hi all, I'm new to mbclub but not new to mercs!
Had a few like 190's 124's 126, 202's, 210 and I am after something special now like 124 400 or 420 but I would love a 500e also would love a 190 with v8 power not sure if it's been done or not but found a cheap 140 500 and wonders if it can be...
Remember about 10/12 years ago when I was about 11 ish seeing my neighbours rude mercs. He had 2 190e's and one with evo2 kit. At the time it was the best thing ever. I suspect now it would look utter tat.
Who had them and any photos/ info?
What happened to them?
Hello all,
Just a quick introduction to say hello.
Recently bought my first Mercedes (in fact, first car I've owned for a number of years since putting up with company cars!), and plumped for a CLK220 CDI as I wanted something nice but also suitable for high mileage in London.
I'm...
Hi my names Dunk and i'm contemplating getting my first Mercedes so thought it a good idea to join up and get the pros and cons on what i'm looking at.
I'm looking at the SL's as i really want a 2 seat convertible, it hasn't got to be a silly quick SL55 AMG or even the SL500.
I think i'd be...
Hi to you all

My W124 260E Auto, is a 1988 one owner, out of Hamburg via Egypt before arriving in the UK in 1995...
Hi everyone
Ive been lurking for quite sometime but never really got around to being polite and posting an intro up until now.
I'm Chris and have got 3 Mercs down here in Kent.
A 1984 W123 230CE as my weekend runaround. Not in top condition but feels like it is probably the most reliable...
My W114 coupe interior wood is lovely Zebrano, but the varnish is flaking off and the finish is very flat.
I have seen quite a number of restored Mercedes of this period where the wood is exceptionally polished as per the images below (I think this is too high a gloss and the second is not...
Had to take 3 relatives to visit my wife's mum in hospital in snowy road conditions
Afraid to say my shiny Merc C220 is the worst car I've ever had to drive in these conditions
Back end broke away far too many times despite me driving more carefully than any other car on the road
Have mercs...
