As above- One of the gotchas on a E300 I bought. It's not a suction mount as the seller claimed but is glued....to a leather dash. Any wisdom about how I remove it without leaving a scar - of even whether I can remove it without leaving a scar. Google suggests veg oil in a dam to contain the...

Hi All, I'm going to tackle replacing the seals in my Brake Master Cylinder today. As I've got that out and need to bleed the brakes anyway, I'm going to remove the ABS pump to clear a blocked drain hole and give it a good clean. Do I need to do anything special or is it just a case of...

Hi, I want to remove and adjust the fixings for my r129's front bumper. Its the AMG kit and was wondering if there are any guides to do this? Can this be a one man job on the driveway or more advanced?

Like it says, there is no power at all in the car (or doors for that matter !) need to get the seats forwards to get to the rear bolts. Is there a clutch mechanism on the seats that you can disengage the motors to pull the seat forwards or does anyone know what wires in the loom by the seat...
