Thought I might as well post it here as well as on the SLK forum I've joined. Had a bit of a mare yesterday after putting a deposit down on an SLK250 CDI, I started to have second thoughts as it didn't have the airscarf, COMAND and I just wasn't sure about having a diesel "sports car"...

Hi All, Doing an oil change on my W202. Bought 2 x 5 litres from ECP at the weekend. Foolishly, I didn't check they gave me two of the same stuff!! I've just poured 5 litres of the 5W40 Shell Helix Ultra (229.5 spec). Was just about to pour in the contents of bottle 2 when noticed it's...

Hello I have 2 engine oil left overs of 4 liters of oil from my previous 2 service. One is a 5w30 and the other 5w40. Both low sap. Can i use both or do i need to buy another 5 liters of either?

Hey guys, The supplier only sent me 3 quarts of Fuchs transmission fluid by accident, I wanted to change my fluid in the next couple days and decided to go buy an extra 2 quarts from the dealership so I didn't have to wait. Can i mix Fuchs and Mercedes trans fluid together? They are both...

what a numpty. I've just put pertol in my diesel MB. In my defense my mind was elsewhere and I was rushing as teh station was closing but thats still no real excuse. So what damage has been done. I had about a half tank of diesel and I put in 83p of unleaded before I realised. I have now...

So, finally the "European car manufacturer" has been "named" that are one of the interested parties to pick up Saab from the administrators. A "Large German manufacturer based in Munich" (BMW) it would seem are looking to develop a FWD chassis and as Saab's Phoenix platform was already...

While scouting around for a deal on some OEM shocks for my S202 (thanks again for the kind advice gents), I noticed the Sachs catalogue seems to list the older Mercs as having gas mono-tubes all round but most of the newer Merc models (except the highest performance ones) have twin-tubes on the...

Can you mix dot 4 and dot 5.1 brake fluid? A Google search gives an inconclusive answer so does anyone know for sure what the answer is? I guess people like to know why such questions are asked. Well, I'd like to change the brake fluid of one of my cars, of course. For other cars in the...

I have had a few issues with the fuel economy of my C250d Sport manual, since I bought it. However, in a discussion with the dealer principal, he raised the issue of fuel source, which in my case was Sainsbury's. He immediately suggested this might be the source of the problem and pulled out...

:(I have just received a rotor arm and distributor cap from Europarts (I am now waiting for them to get back to me). They sent the wrong parts. I ordered both parts by Bosch, alas they have sent me a Bosch rotor arm and a Bremi distributor cap. So while I am waiting for them to ring me I...

This is the second time I have spilt tea on my laptop, first time was a while ago I threw a cup of tea over the keyboard. Luckily, quickly turning it upside down and drip drying was all that was needed. Today (or rather, just now :rolleyes: ) I have spilt some tea on the bottom corner of my...

May be an odd question this one? I currently have 4x225/40/18s all round but know the correct size for my W210 is actually 235/40/18, I can't really afford to replace all 4 at once and my rears are getting near renewal time so I am thinking could I run 2x235/40s at the rear with 2x225/40s at the...

Whilst on the motorway 2 days ago my newly replaced radiator (new tensioner unit which needed the radiator moving) let go of its top hose, emptying the whole coolant system immediately. After nearly filling my pants I managed to stop hopefully before cooking my engine. I refilled it and carried...
