After a trip around Europe in my 2003 C220 CDI, injector 1 was covered in black death and juddering when idling.
I put on the computer and injector 1 was faulty, so i replaced injector 1 with a recon injector with new seal, bolt and clamp. Started up and took on a drive this morning, the...
Hi, does anyone know what has replaced the Pirelli P Zero Rosso?
I popped into the local tyre place the other day to price up some new ones and the owner told me they'd been discontinued. Then my phone rang and I had to leg it so never found out what the replacement is.
Secondary...
The old E280 is up for sale with a poorly gearbox so I spotted a replacement last week on ebay.
I confess I never thought I'd be buying a motor from ebay, but looking at the pics and the description I thought I'd take a stab at it and caught an early train to Waterloo across the city to Kings...
I bought a used BOSE amp, the same partsnumber as mine I have in my car but.....
Here is the story.
My factory fitted BOSE amp #202 820 3089 in my C43 AMG acted like giving problems, that's at least what I thought?
Drivers door LEFT side speaker was playing very low, passengers RIGHT side...
Just had my e320 cdi sport springs and NSF lowerball joint replaced outside my house as the springs had snapped and couldnt get the car moved anywhere. However now that the springs are fitted the steering feels a lot heavier than before takes a bit of effort to turn the wheel however the power...
Hello, I recently just replaced my original shocks with Bilstein's at 145,000 miles.
It has helped matters a little bit, but overall the car is still unstable. There is no squeaking, rattling, or any type of noise coming from the suspension so I'm wondering what it is...The car feels floaty...
hi all,
for months now and my transmission is hell (engine revs up while shifting),after consulting many transmission gurus here they all told me that the transmission is shot.
I went to scrap and replaced it with identical one (as per the indy).
here are some data I got from the two...
Hi folks,
I want to share a story of really good service from an MB Dealership as these appear to be rear.
As some of you may already know, my C63 has had 19" AMG wheels (Diamond cut high sheen finish) from the factory, which unfortunately began to show oxidisation (better known as corrosion)...
I replaced the battery in my 2000 S500 today, but accidentally disconnected the negative terminal after about 20 seconds. When I connect the battery now, the wipers go on, lights come on (neither of which I can switch off) and I cannot start the car - in fact I can't do anything, as nothing...
I received an "ESP Visit Workshop" error and a STAR diagnosis showed the Slip Ring/Contact Spiral as faulty. I purchased a used spiral (from a W209 being broken) and fitted it.
ESP now works, however none of the steering wheel controls or the horn work.
The part number of the old slip...

Hi,
hope someone can help?
The rubber / plastic trim on the rear door (see attached photos) has broken (caught in a synthetic wash mitt) when washing (washmitt now binned and replaced with a sheepskin one).
The car is a 2005 W203 estate (S203 if being accurate :)).
Has anyone had this...
As my SLK alloys are corroded and kerbed from a previous owner, I'm after a new set of wheels. They don't have to be original MB and they may be bigger in size. What are my fellow SLK owners running?
I've seen some from a company called calibre that look quite good. Kind of euro style/RS500...
Hi Folks!
Please let me thank you all for a wonderful wealth of information. I live in one of the most isolated capital cities and there are only 5 star systems within 4000k's so you've all helped a lot with posts.
I have a w208 clk 230k year 2000 that is acting up. I have had it for 9 years...
OK, so my idle is still off, when car is cold its perfect, as it warms up it gets a bit lumpy - mostly smooth with a slight miss, also when re-starting car when warm revs fluctuate quite badly for a couple of minutes before settling back to the almost smooth but slight misfire every few seconds...
Hi all,
I hope everyone is well.
Today I managed to take out the speedo and replace the bulb that was faulty.
On inspection I saw that 3 bulbs were missing along the bottom. I replaced them and saw that only one came on when the ignition was on.
The bulb that came on was the SRS Warning...
