quality

Having had the SL detailed, it's now really showing up any minor paintwork blemish, stone chips etc.... even more, so I'm thinking of getting all the stone chips and scratches repainted, can anyone recommend a quality painter in the Surrey area? It maybe that it can't be easily retouched and...

Hi, I've just bought a 2007 SL350 with (I assume) the stock stereo system (no mention of Bose/HK), but it's not a very good quality sound. I'm no great expert on stereos, but do appreciate a decent sounding setup, which this isn't, so a few Q's; - are stock MB systems weak? (or is mine...

Can anyone recommend a towbar fitter for Mercedes in Berks, Bucks or Oxon. Our local dealer uses a general ICE outlet in town but they have blotted their copy book with my Wife's car; not MB, or towbar related but now I am wary of trusting them to do the electrics correctly :(. Don't mind...

Hi guys, just wanted to see if anyone has much experience of the HK setup in the W164? I have just picked up an 08 facelift model ML with the HK fitted. I was quite looking forward to it. I know a lot of people slate the "high end" music systems sold in BMW's, Audis and MB but I have had a few...

Afternoon, Could anybody tell me if there are any quality alternatives to diagnostics for Mercs? Obviously STAR can be purchased at a high cost, and there are plenty of clones about, but I am wondering if there are any high quality alternatives available. The example of an alternative...

So............ Thought I'd decided but ..... I'm tempted to go for 19" rather than 18" wheels. E320 Advantgarde estate. Ride will be better on which?? I can see that you get more sidewall on an 18" compared to a 19" but is it very noticeable? Was looking at a BMW with 19" last night...

Hi all.. Just had a COMAND NTG2.5 retro fitted to my E class. Overall very pleased with it. However I have been told by several people that my voice sounds muffled and unclear when I speak on the phone via the bluetooth link. There is a .mic fitted on the top of the screen next to the roof...

I've had a few people on the other end of the line tell me that my voice quality isn't good when I'm using the phone whilst driving. I don't recall getting complaints until recently. It appears I can be heard but that it's "echoey"/in the bathroom like. Does the microphone deteriorate...

I was cleaning my Polar White w204 at the weekend and i've noticed for a while now that the finish of the paintwork inside the wheel arches is pretty shocking. Its on the flat surfaces of the bumpers which face into the arch and these vary from some with no paint at all on them, to some...

Hey all, I have a question about my W203 C270 cdi Avantgarde - the ride is quite firm but generally good until I go over 60 mph where it can get a little unsettled unless the road is very smooth (not many of those about). I am wondering if there I should be checking bushes/shocks etc or if...

Car is 13 yrs old C200 - Consider i need to replace rear brake pipes (flexi) Would you go MB parts or compay such as Brakes International and get - Brembo- Girling - Lockeed or equivalent . I presume Mercedes buys in such parts from such manufacturers and has them branded MB .
