One of the 4 rear number plate screws was seized and the screwhead has snapped off in the bolt that goes through the boot panel. I suppose I could have a battle and try and get this out somehow but I thought it would be easier and a cleaner look if I just attach the number plate with...

I have a CLK 2001 W208 which has been in my garage for several months. I noticed the wheel nuts are impossible to remove. The bolts are rusted and one or two did come off after applying a fair amount of pressure but the rest are stuck. Beside applying a serious amount of pressure are there...

My W210 has developed a slight rumbling noise that is only noticeable at slow speeds (around 5 - 15mph). Its accompanied by some slight vibration that can be felt through the brake pedal but its not related to brake use, in other words it can be felt if I rest my foot on the pedal (without...

Took daughter for sking lessons at Gloucester today. Thought I'd change the rear disc and pads in the car park before sking myself. All came apart nicely except that the disc is seized onto the hub - so reassembled and skied for longer than I was intending - how knackered, heading for a bath and...

Following on from the thread regarding no insurance, I wanted to give you all a little insight on an incident which happened to me. The above Traffic Police Officer stopped at me at 01:05 hours for allegedly speeding, to which I refused. I saw he was briefly pacing me, so ensured I kept...

Hi all... Sent my wife's car, 1997 W208 CLK200' for a 'B Service' last week by an independent. Shocked to be told that the spark plugs have threaded/seized, and they wouldn't dare even touch it. Was told it would be a major job if the plugs fail later on... and it was due to plugs being...
