Hey all, doing the odd DIY on the car, yes I'm the dreaded novice that should leave it to the experts, but I was just taking the rear wheel off to check the brakes...jacked it up (99 clk 320 coupe) with the most RIDICULOUS jack ever...when it kind of rolled of the jack and the wheel wasn't...

Hi all after hitting my 40's I decided Porsche 928's were bit too tight for the kids so went through a succession of 'family cars' right up to bmw x3 2.5 sport.... realised wasn't using the car for what I intended.. boot wasn't getting used and the 4 wheel drive wasn't needed.. and for the year...

alright, The C280 W202 needs a replacement water pump - is it possible D.I.Y with no ramps or anything with limited experience or is it a garage only pig of a job ? Also is there a replacement gasket or is it just a change the whole unit job ? cheers Brett

My 2000 E320 CDi Avantgarde needs to be re-shod all round (215/55 R16 W). I'm currently on Pirelli P6000s. Should I stay with these or consider Dunlop SP9000s and Falken GRB FK 451s? I've no clue when it comes to choosing tyres, hence the post. I predominantly crawl 7 miles each way to and...
