Hi all,
helped a friend replaced the upper engine harness on his 1994 SL500. The original was falling to bits and although the car was running pretty well with just the occasional lumpy idle ... it was a matter of time.
Sent the loom to Sileck who appear to have done a first class job...
Where can we find one? I tried google and eBay and the closest I can get is the USA. I'm looking at improvising from an unused hydraulic pipe or something. Mine was so brittle from the cam cover side.
Afternoon All,
Took the hardtop off my 99 R129 this weekend and after a heart stopping moment when the soft top wouldn't close, got it closed and then heart sunk when seeing the windows.
Last year's slight crack's are now holes! :mad:
I also fitted 3 point seatbelts in the back for my 5...
My CLK has developed the squeaky rear end, so thought its time to replace the lower control arm to wheel carrier bushes.
Looked in my copy of EPC and it came up with A 220 352 02 27, went to confirm the Lemforder part number on ZF's Webcat and it stated '10747 01 no longer manufactured, use...
Hey all,
The motor for my folding wing mirror died a while back, and I've finally got round to ordering a replacement.
I've bought the whole unit, which seems in good condition and the same colour, but I can't find any concrete info on how to swap it out. Do any of you have any experience...
I've recently purchased an ML from a repossessions company.
The car has no keys and I've been told I have to wait for DVLA to issue the new V5C before Mercedes will order replacements. I understand the reasons for this but surely the bill of sale is evidence that I am now the registered owner...
Sorry if this has been asked before, replacing battery in my 2004 C180K.
Can I just remove old battery without having to reset anything when new one is fitted, or should I use a memory saver of some kind?
Haynes says disconnect and replace but would appreciate a definitive answer from someone...

There seem to be various types I could buy:
With no filter heater
With water capture connection
Without level measurement
The prices vary wildly from 16 euros for a Mann to 60 euros fr Man or Knecht.
So, any hints on which to buy and any hints on changing it (since I don't yet know...
I'm considering replacing the big end and main bearings on my SLK320. I'm well aware that it would be better to do a full engine out bottom end rebuild with reground crank, new oil pump etc but I'm on a budget and the rest of the car isn't that special to warrant the cost, it also has 135k...
My 2010 Kia Soul needs a new key fob.
One of the two fobs is playing-up, and while the car is still under its 7-year warranty, the Kia dealer wants £120 to 'investigate' the problem before confirming if the fob will be covered under warranty or not...
Anyone can recommend a trusted car...
Anyone had failure of their SLK SAM box? My in laws car failed due to corrosion during the fourth year. I ask how can water get into a sealed box? Only time it ever might have been opened is when serviced? MB reckon it's just hardly.
Hello all. I have recently had both rear lower arms changed mb parts at a cost of 450 for the arms. Had two front arms done a few weeks later parts by lemforder that were almost half price. Couldn't tell the difference as the garage ordered mb parts also. I gave lemforder a whirl??????? as i...
I have recently begun work on my new project, namely a 1999 C43. A common issue (apart from the paint on all the rust :p) is the seizure of the boot lock when trying to operate it using the 'blade' section of the key.
Followed some excellent guides on here and the other side, eventually managed...
Hi guys , looking to see if anyone has had hands on experience with replacing a rear reluctor ring on an e500 w211 . I have viewed several videos on the procedure and all looks pretty straight forward . It's a hub off job but all looks pretty easy. The reason why I ask is that I had a local...
Hi all,
I would appreciate it if anyone can recommend where to get a replacement Comand Unit for a 209 CLK in London.
Mine was tested by a specialist repairer and deemed beyond repair as the MOST output is not working.
I have the Logic 7 HK system (Amp and many speakers).
Required Part...
Well my rear subframe bushes are goosed! Noticed them while having tyres changed.
It's also recently developed a concerning creak from the N/S/R when stopping or pulling off and over large bumps that cause the car to go over at an angle! I'm hoping this is down to the bushes also? As whilst...

Good morning all
Has anyone replaced the horrible black speaker covers on their C205 for the shiny Burmester covers?
I have found out how to remove the front door cards but struggling on how to remove the rear panels. Any ideas?
Thanks
Ian
