purchased

Hello All, I have just purchased a fantastic 1973 280CE, W114, the 2.8 model. I have been searching the web for a complete workshop manual (Hayes etc) which will cover the entire car. Does anyone know if such a book exists? Many thanks in advance! SJ

I bought my SL500 Silver Arrow about a month ago, now the list of problems seems to just keep growing. I bought the car on ebay, but the seller is not listed as a business seller. But from their feedback they are a car dealer: eBay Feedback profile for j4yll The seller also gave me a...

:thumb:What a delight to buy a car from a forum member. It was exactly as described. The engine is one of the sweetest i've known. It is a 124 300D Estate. Turned the key in Camberely drove straight up to Lancashire. No worries whatsoever @ 37 MPG:thumb: From the brief time we had together it is...

Just purchased a 08 plate A180 CDI Avantgarde SE. It is a nice spec with the luxury package so full leather, electrically adjustable heated front seats, luxury climate control, electric folding door mirrors, upgraded 17" alloys, sports suspension + a few other options. No Parktronic but they are...

Hi everyone, I just got back home in my new (to me) W140 S600 and seriously, wow, what a car. I had a W140 500 before and thought that was impressive the 600 is on another planet. The torque this engine produces is enough to start ice ages, and it's just as refined as my 500 was even though...

After reading several posts on tyres and where to purchase them from I went for the following: My W203 needed a set of rear tyres (MOT reported at 2mm) to replace the original Contis. After some online searching I booked a mobile tyre fitting service from Event Tyres Tyres Online | Mobile Car...

Can not wait to pick it up later this week!! Wanted the estate and to stay away from silver as they are little rarer - already itching for some mods. Can anyone point me in the direction of a carbon front splitter and 2nd hand Bi-Xenon headlights? Anything i should be looking for or...

Hi All Finally went and did it and brought a C55. What a beast. I was stuck for choice between C32 and C55, but this Black C55 turned up, and i really couldn't refuse it. Currently being valeted and cleaned so i will pick it up next week. I will be keeping my C200K stealth as i have grown...

Hi All, Well I finally bought the C32 from Stirling that I had been looking at. Just got back this evening after driving down from Birmingham. Car runs great. The only issues are 1) NSF bumper scuffed (will look at a respray for that soon) 2) Valeo radiator fitted (But am clear according to...

Hi guys, I am new on here; but am embarking on a new project with my most recent purchase. 99 V - CLK 230K AVANTGARDE (FACELIFT) IN Manual. It has 80k on the clock with full MBSH. The colour is black on the logbook, but it is actually a blue/grey/green; it would be appreciated if someone could...

Went for my test drive (see post last week) and I'm now the proud owner of a 98'S C240 Sport (my first merc after 21 years of Vauxhall ownership - although wife's car will still be VX). Car is here...

Morning all, well I am now the proud owner of a 97 SL320 and loving every minute of it. :rock: Finally found a great example with no rust most of the toys and full MBservice history for under £10k and with only 81k miles. Did test a 500 and by christ it was quick, though spent most of my time...

Unfortunately the Sat Nav disc is missing and I was wondering if any one might have suitable disc for sale.I only really need UK coverage as opposed to Europe wide.Not sure even what the latest series is either. Alfie from Comand.com suggested I join the forum and ask as he doesn't deal with...

Yesterday I caught a train to York to pick up my new car; the much researched and thoroughly investigated Smart Roadster Brabus! In black with black leather, with the iPod adaptor, trip computer and cruise control its almost the perfect spec I wanted. First impressions are positive. Once...

Guys, after a year of almost unbearable trouble with a Vauxhall, I have today got rid of the Signum and bought a '99 Obsidian Black (Java Leather) SL320 with 29k mile on the clock. This is my 6th Merc (I keep coming back for more) and although I have complained about the after sales in the...

Hi all, I'm very new here. Just bought a lovely 1984 500sec silver which is fantastic BUT though i thought it was all fully functional, in fact there seems to be no dash light meaning i can't see the instruments at night. Am i missing a switch/dimmer or is this a bigger problem? Any help...
