method

HI I have removed my M103 head following the method suggested by M B Walker i.e leaving the inlet manifold in the car. But to replace the head I cant see how the inlet manifold could be correctly torqued back without removing more of the inlet manifold like at least the fuel distributor. I have...

Hi, I recently got a c220 08 model, I've connected my iPhone 6 to the hands free but I cannot stream music via Bluetooth. What is the best method to do this? Ideally I don't want to install a parrot or anything that has to be stuck on the dash etc Thanks in advance

I am fixing a rust spot. Going to apply some rust remover, scrap it thoroughly with a wirebrush and then apply some primer The question is whats best way of applying paint once primer is dried? I have seen some spray paint cans in Halfords. Or is there a way of applying it with a brush that...

Just ordered a part on their website to be picked up tomorrow from the Cardiff branch. It states on their website that they accept credit cards and PayPal. I bought this wanting to use my PayPal account but once I had reserved the part I cannot find out how the hell to pay for it on their...

Hi, I thought I’d share what I’ve found to be a useful method of locating where wind noise comes through on the driver’s side window of my R129. BluTak. I’ve been moulding it and positioning it in various locations. After some trial I eventually found that I need a tapering diameter...

I've posted a few thoughts here - and got some good ones back - on my search for a 2009 S211 E220. It's not the only option - we also like the Skoda Superb and possibly the Audi A6 - but it's probably the nicest thing to travel in that our high-teens budget will buy. I've confined my search to...

As title. Curious to know as I learned most places do the cold vulcanising method, which limits the options for repairing punctures away from the centre tread. But fitters send discarded tyres away to a place or two where hot vulcanising is used to fully repair and bake the tyre so that it's...

:D Shamelessly cribbed from DM's post on the other side.... ;) YouTube - How To wash your car with one bucket of water

Right, so I just got a little curious as to whether there is any truth to this. They seem to be motorsport-orientated and thought it might apply to street cars as well. Or is the whole thing utter tosh? After having had new discs and pads, it took around 300 miles of normal driving (I'm...

We have a guy who comes to the unit and does a wash and go on my CLS and a few others but I feel i should be cleaning the DB9 myself :o I then realised that although I did it a few weeks a go I didnt have a clue so can someone explain the best method - I assume two buckets is one a soapy one...

I've read quite a few posts where people have asked to know the correct tyre pressure for their new wheel-tyre configurations. I've read this method in a race car setup handbook, maybe it's of some help. Using an infrared thermometer like this measure the inner edge , centre and outer edge...

Friday night, driving from Preston to Mull of Kintyre. Oil warning light comes on M74, Hamilton area, continue to drive for 1 hour plus. Stopped at Gourock before joning the ferry. Done the electronic check. Dial says "Add 2ltrs". I had a one ltr bottle in the boot. Added. Waited 5 mins. Dash...

Good linky here: http://www.meguiars.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2417 & info re dilution rates to get correct ratios. Use this method for both my cars with good results with a wash mitt & shampoo after the foam/rinse for the "proper" wash. (You can get away with foam/rinse but only if...

http://www.liquivac.com/ though not sure if it has enough suction to get all the oil that resides in the sump. Also you STILL have to get under the car to change the oil filter! (depending on car)
