Dropping my E320cdi off to AMD tomorrow to have some work done. Mods are, AMD remap, Eibach Anti Roll Bar Kit front and rear, and than Eibach lowering springs with full alignment. Hopefuly the results will be promising :D

I have a shed-load of factory options on my car and when I took delivery back in March my insurer (Direct Line) seemed to have great difficulty getting their head round them (or indeed the concept!). After much arguing and many phone calls to confirm and double confirm, they finally added them...

I saw this recently in Norwich and got me thinking - WHY?! :dk: Front End: Rear End: Petrol cap and rear spoiler: (Apologies for the poor quality, but they were just quick snaps in the dark and rain!) Darren

Its time to insure the car for another year but my insurer wants an extra £125 this time:( Ive been on the comparison sites,declared my remap and exhaust and can get it down to £380 fully comp with Admiral but not one of them will protect my 9years+ NCB. I called Adrian flux today,they...

Following on from this thread: http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/wheels-tyres/71541-vito-wheels.html Does anyone know of an insurer who will cover vans that aren't factory standard? Elephant are quite happy about the wheels & exhaust on my R129, but with vans they will only cover unmodified...

Now, I appreciate that racing stripes and those oh so cool Lexus lights are more likely to reduce the value of a car than anything, but... Am I deluding myself by thinking that adding a Comand system to a car not so endowed would make it more appealling than a vehicle without? Or... would...

Hi to you all! I'm new to the club and if I'm regurgitating old threads, then do forgive me. I recently acquired 1996 W202 C180 (auto, of course). I've already upgraded the wheels to 17" AMG'S with 245/45/17 tyres. My predicament lies in the fact that performance of the car feels what can only...

My ML is really bumpy on the road. I am told that as it's a former police vehicle it may have had the suspension uprated to cope with heavy equipment in the back. I would like to get it back to car comfort levels. Does anyone know what the police usually do? Would it be springs or shocks or...

Dear All I own an SLK32 AMG and I suspect that a previous owner may have modified the engine. Can anyone tell me if these changes are likely to be noticed when I go for a service at an MB dealer and if so are they likely to over-write any software changes or invalidate my warranty? Should I...

Hi, i have a C class W202, year 97'. I was wondering what kind of modifications i could do to it, to make it on the whole faster, but mainly better acceleration and so on. Could anyone shed any light, and more so, any ideas! Many thanks!

This set of upgrades applies equally to A and B class. But shown here in images is the B-200T Sports Package The patient Interior - interesting thing to note is that the multi-contour power seat is totally self contained and has its own air pump and motors. Console -...
