replaced

Over the last couple months, I've put in new shocks, new lower ball joints, steering shock, new LCA bushings as part of a suspension overhaul and it has been good so far. The car has been much more stable on smooth roads, but there was still some very prominent shaking in the steering wheel...

As the title asks is it straight forward and where is tyhe best place for a battery?

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...

Well, after my write off, I have now replaced the SL with a beautiful low milage SL55 AMG all singing and dancing well chuffed

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...

This: Mini John Cooper Works. I have to say it is a hoot to drive and is really well specc'd - satnav, DAB, leather, sunroof, Harman Kardon stereo, Phone, etc. S

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 After many months of looking and then not buying and then looking.... I have finally bought a Porsche Cayenne. I really love it, but its not as good as the E500, but it does give me what I was looking for and that is more space and better rear seating with baby seat in place. Porsches are...

Since selling my 107 SL in October, I have sorted out my finances, and in December, I started the search to replace it. Finally found what I was looking for just before New Year. But this week I took delivery of a 2007 Aston Martin DB9 Volante with 21000 miles. Hope you like it !! :-)

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...

I've got an '08 W211 with the basic single CD/Radio that I'm looking to replace with a 2 Din Nav unit, maybe a Pioneer AVIC-F30BT. Pioneer list a model specific fascia kit, but the instructions here... http://www.pioneer.eu/files/eur/car_acc_db/fascia_plate/391190-28.pdf ... say that...

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...
