mercs

They're built like tanks, not built to a budget, last of the properly engineered, bullet proof, run forever mercedes cars before the accountants got their way... allegedly.. Why does mine keep playing up then :mad: Full MB and MB specialist service history, no expense spared maintenance regime...

My father has had 3 mercedes, a 96 C180 classic, a 98 C230K elegance wagon and currently has a 99 CLK320 elegance. The second two cars have both shown a tendency to rust. The C230K had a small rust patch on the corner of a door and around the tailgate handle and the CLK has bubbling around the...

Anyone got any experience with the Bose stereo in the C32 AMG, hows the bass and treble any good?

On Monday I was driving to work when coming the other way was a new CLK, as the driver switched on her indicator to turn left the left fog-light (just the one) also came on. Dodgy electrics I thought! Yesterday I was approaching a mini roundabout when I saw exactly the same...

:( Thought I'd say hello as I feel I'm going to need some help with my new purchase. Only had it a month or so and already broke it:( Knowing little about these cars I think I have a steep learning curve ahead but that's all part of the fun. Cheers Matt

I enjoy all the new technology and design of the latest cars. But the character and class of the classics are missing. It's not just cars, look at the affection for the routemaster bus. Remove the boring limitations of EU regulations for the sake of the thread - how cool would it be to have...

Has anyone else seen how cheap CLK's are on PCP at the moment. I have a beautiful CLK 320 at the moment but I am really tempted to get a new CLK 220 CDi at the current prices! New deals were released today and are even better than before! What do you all think? the fuel economy would be better...

What do you guys normally fill up on...? I've only ever filled my C180k up on V-Power / Super Unleaded (97Ron) I went to buy some chickens from tesco yesterday and decided to give theit 99Octane fuel a go... It doesn't seem to be as good as V-Power... But then again it was wet today...

Hi guys Newbie to the forum, finally found my dream motor a week ago after much searching - signal red, 91 plate 560 SEC :D Need to find a good guy to help me look after my new p&j in the Kent/Surrey borders area, although don't mind travelling a little way if anyone knows a really good...

As stated in a previous thread, i have always had BM's, can someone tell me how i can find out what Model Nbrs belong to what car i.e E39 is Mark 3 5 Series, a W164 is a ML. Is there a web address that explains this?

My 2 previous Mercedes over the last 3 years, as you can see I like the Black ones with the beige interiors..... ;) Enjoy, hopefully..... p.s. Sorry about the varying degrees of photographic quality & size. :o http://picasaweb.google.com/mangomans/PreviousMercs

For those who like OE looking equipment I have just installed a Becker Cascade into my R129 SL. This is available from Pixmania at a good price. As Mercedes used Becker as an OE supplier the functions on the Becker are similar to a Mercedes comand unit with linguatronic functionality, indeed...

86' 260e just like to say I took my car down to kirkham today sunday, and ian @ www.124works.com fixed alternator, handbrake, also miss firing, within a couple of hours at a extremely good price, its now running like a dream. highly reccomend. will be going back for more work when required...

I was at my local autosalvage yard yesterday,and there were loads of Mercs,of various years and types,seemingly they are being bought by the yard owner,and some foreign people are buying the mecanicals and the front panels and lights...??? Anyway,I got most of what I needed out of one of the 6...

See, I spotted a black Mondeo yesterday!! Shame the silver C-Class that was parked next to the CL55 pulled away before I had chance to take the pic though - would've been 4 to 1!!

Today I saw an 04 plate Punto, with an inch high bubbling of rust running the entire length of the driver's door. Panel replacement kind of bad. It ain't just Mercs :) (although considering the price they shouldn't even rust slightly!)

Hi, I have thought about this alot, and still dont really know what to do :o . Basically I put w202 on ebay for swaps as I would like a convertible for a bit, and I got offered this a 1995 bmw 328i convertible 74k, I said yeah thats great but I didn't want to spend any more cash on cars at...

I have a set of new shape (17") alloys that i had fitted on my R129, will they fit outher mercedes models? the offset is ET35 Thanks
