Hi All, I'm going to be replacing the transmission fluid on my 1990 300CE and was wondering what the best fluid was to use and whether it is worth changing/replacing anything else while i'm there (the car has done 158k and changes as sweet as a nut)? Having a quick search through the forum...

I've just aquired a MC3010 CD Changer for my 2001 S203 C270 fitted with Audio 10 Radio/Casette. Have not checked yet to see if there's any pre-wiring in/behind the glove box, but suspect that I will need to buy A2035403408 fibre optic and A2035400809 D2B cable - and presumably a power supply...

Can anyone give me specific guidance on the above please? The 40 year old handbook just says to use 'approved' fluids - can someone translate that into Halfords 2009? ;) Cheers!

I've been using Mick Gudgeon for my servicing and repairs for the last three years. He is ex-Mercedes main dealer master tech (time served at H.L. Gorner of Clapham (Yorks). Merc owners bring their cars of all shapes sizes and ages to Mick. His work is superb, his knowledge is extensive, his...

Can anyone recommend a good Indie for a colleague who lives in Broxbourne, Herts.? He's suffered the usual MB dealer rip-off experience so I said I'd try and secure him someone who actually cares and knows what they are doing. It's a 'modern' I'm afraid - '06 CLK covertible Much obliged P.S...

Having seen some amazing results, I'm interested in having a pro detailer set the W124 up for the summer. I think it'll also encourage me to keep the car in sparkling nick afterwards. Does anyone have personal experience of someone good and ...particulalrly important this...not stupidly...
