My w124 300td engine sounded like a bag of spanners crossed with some angry typists and a nail gun. It smoked quite badly, and it was weeping oil from the head gasket around the chain cover. I did a diesel purge with 1l of "diesel purge" which quietened the engine quite a bit - it sounded great...

Hi All I have had some major issues with my C32 and will take you through them and what was done to rectify them. Before talking the car to George Fraser I changed the intercooler pump to a Johnson type as mine failed and it felt like I was running on 155BHP :) Back in Nov 2010 I had a major...

Thanks to picking up on advice from this Club, I was able to suggest (correctly) to Kwik Fit to look for a broken coil spring on the left rear wheel and Presto!, I was right and easily (but costly!) fixed. Hence, I had to join the club and this is my first post. Thanks already and hoping to...

I had 4 federal super steel 225 45 17 tyres fitted to my 1995 e280. Let me tell you these tyres are absolute rubbish. No grip, very very very noisy. I have now changed them for pirelli p zero,s what a difference, car is now silent. Drives like a dream.

Hi I had a sticky manky knob on the Audio 30 in my new Sl and after trying a few places i managed to get one of Ebay. Yes it was expensive at £10 for a knob but it feels and looks so much better. Might be of use to someone Becker MB Audio 30 BE3300 Volume Knob Spare Part on eBay (end...

Hi I recently had a problem with my C32 AMG. The aircon controller recently packed up...well started playing up so much that it drained my battery completely. I found a working used one on ebay and fitted it myself (10 min job). It works perfectly BUT also these are the other things that now...

Hi! As you know I've had some problems with power loss (strange). No one could really tell me what was at fault, STAR wasn't showing real issue. http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=51457 Anyway, we went to Poland and MB dealer in Warsaw :rock: (not the main one, in Piaseczno...

As a lot of you might know about the problems with the W211 I bought from an MB Dealer. Well they are looking for a car at the minute. A new person is on the case, and he seems very concerned about getting it sorted which is good (What scares me though is that he was only made aware of the...

the misfire is now sorted. i changed the 3 ht leads and plugs... but it still misfired. i then changed the first coil, it then started and ran perfectly...also can anyone tell me what the gaps on the plugs should be.. thanks.

Well i've had a quite a bad knocking noise coming from the drivers wheel for sometime and with the MOT due soon i had to get things addressed! From looking i knew it was the lower control arm bushes. Well with being a tighta*se i decided to have a go myself and replace it, well after a few...

Chaps, I refuse to believe that some clever electrical boffin hasn't already managed to suss the canbus incompatibility between the W210's steering wheel buttons and the Parrot system. Apparently, the W210 canbus uses a different language to pretty much every other Merc ever built. :rolleyes...

Sorry for the pic quality, left the camera in London so these crappy pics off my phone will have to do until I get back. Sorted out the problems with the rubbing arches and also swaped out the front spring pads for #3's (the #2's were TOO low!). Just been washed and Zymol'd :cool: EDIT...
