opinions

The new CLS (official) is all over the web but I haven't seen any comments. I didn't like the original when it came out. It grew on me a bit but I'm not 100% convinced. The new one is better. I think I like it but it could be that I knew what to expect. The old one was a shock to the system...

Hi Guys Just got back off my hols and I am now into sorting SWMBO A8 and my W208. Just fitted 2 x sports cats to the A8 today on the rolling road tomorrow where I hope it will be the right side of 450 bhp and complete, so now onto my W208 Mods to be carried out over next few days, sport cat...

I've seen a 1996 230K sport C Class local to me. It is 1996, manual, with 96000 miles on the clock, seems in good condition with service history and 2 previous owners. What do I need to look out for if buying? Thanks as always guys. Kurt

W124 Opinions please ladies and gents. Hi all, I have decided to tackle the wings on my 124 and during the process have been thinking of getting rid of the two tone paint scheme.The car is 199 blue black with the atlas grey cladding and bumpers.Would appreciate some opinions on doing the whole...

Been offered a C55 with 40k on it. Are there any known issues on these cars? Really not keen if they have a C43-like reputation for eating gearboxes, but they're rare enough that I know nothing about them. Can anyone shed any light? Anyone drawn any first hand comparisons between the '43 and '55?

Hi Gents, I'm considering getting someone to fit a 606 (24v)diesel engine and box from a W124 300E estate (m reg) into my W124 E200 estate (petrol0 M reg. My questions are :- Will the petrol tank need to be changed ? Do the front struts need swopping (heavier engine) ? Is it worth the effort as...

I'm just about to have a new Stainless steel exhaust fitted to the SL600 but can't decide which option to go for.... The choices are; Single box on the left, looking at the back, with twin pipes or quad pipes. See pictures below.... What do you think?

Hi all, need to get G/F car some new pads, looking on Euros website it gives Pagid, Textar and ATE as pads offered. I am also getting price from main stealers but anyone know which of above is best??? Cheers...:confused:

Hi all I drive a 2001 W210 320CDI Estate, bought in Hungary as I live in Hungary and decided to give the car its first tour trip back to the UK to see what it can do, especially on die Autobahnen :rock: However this plan was scuppered whilst as I was almost through Austria Engine...

hi guys, been on here for a little while cos my mum has a W124 230TE and we love it, im a biker myself but the time has come for me to get a car, being 20 and only just learnt to drive insurance is naturally going to be a killer, but ive been looking around and getting some quotes, and a '95...

I work for an Independent all makes garage as a technician and MOT tester, and we seem to have had nothing but grief lately.. I've worked in the motor trade for nearly 18 years, but to be honest, I'm getting really fed up with the whole thing. This issue started off with a car coming in, with...

Refinement, performance, any niggles, any annoying rattles (aargh !) I know there will be threads on this but I can't find them when I do a search due to 320 and CDI being only 3 characters each - all I get are general W209 posts. May be trading in my Lexus for a CLK.

Hi guys. I'm looking into getting my car re-mapped and have been searching around the net. Do any of you know much about Paramount Performance, in Slough? I've heard of them before, and even bumped into a guy at Le Man who had his SL55 tuned by them. He seemed happy with the work, but I...

Hi, I've read into K&N air filters... are they really that much better than standard filters? Please let me know your opinions as I am thinking of getting one for a W202 Turbodiesel. Michal

I bought my W220 at 5 years old last November. 35k miles, full MB history and in top condition. At the time I was doing under 20k miles a year and intended to keep the car 3 to 5 years or sell at under 100k miles either way. I get a car allowance which I do not intend to fully spend on...

Im thinking of getting one of these as the lag when I accelerate seems like forever. In reality its only about 2-3 seconds but that feels too long when overtaking. Does anyone have one fitted or would anyone recommend getting on of these? Thanks.

Pela Pumps. Are they worth the money? Do the last?

...because I guess there isn't a 'correct' answer. I have bought a X reg that has Lucida wheels which are part painted and part polished metal. They also have a lot of corrosion and an amount of kerb damage. A well know refurb co. near MK has been honest enough to say that if I were to go...
