I have searched the forum for answers but my problem seems a little different so I would welcome opinions. I have a 2001 C320 estate chassis number WDB2032642F114418 (RHD) and normally leave the seat in the same position (though it has always moved fine when required). My tiny (4' 10")...

probably better under interior so moved to that section.

I am an infrequent poster here, so I will say hello. I have a s124 E300 diesel T (124.191). The car has factory fit air conditioning. The heater on the driver's side defaults to hot and only very slowly goes to cool and only then if I set it to maximum cold. The passenger side seems...

Hi all, I know this is a long shot. Was just going out to the bank tonight, driving through our village and this imbecile in a silver C class overtook me and the car behind on the wrong side of the road with a car coming head on to him, he then swerved back into the correct lane (bearing in...

Hi Chaps, So, my 2008 CLS goes in for its 4 year service and I get some recommended work of replacing all 4 brake pads '70% worn' and discs - 'minimum thickness' (pads and discs front - £488, rear £488), and a front ball joint - 'slight play' (£329). So total of £1289, which is a bit of an...

Hi All, I am very interested in purchasing one of these. Not sure what the attraction is but I need to get it out of my system (I had a similar feeling regarding a 928 a few years which ended in mysery, I nearly sold the wife etc etc ) I fancy a nicely spec'd S320 or S500 and therefore I...

3 months ago I agreed a deal to purchase some parts with a long standing and well respected member of this forum, via e mail, to be delivered via courier due to distances involved. Long story short, the parts are still not here despite my instant payment and gentle reminders and questioning...

Can anyone recommend a good independent specialist in the Burnley area? I have an ABC warning light which comes on intermittently on my 2003 SL500. Sometimes the light is red:eek:, sometimes it doesn't come on at all. Can anyone help? Thanks

As title said I'm looking for a beige leather interior for my w202 just wondering if other models will fit?

As I've stated in recent post I've had an inlet manifold fitted to my W211 320cdi and have noticed a slight drop in acceleration compared to whoomph I had and also the mpg has gone down, can't seem to get over 34 mpg on different types of runs. Is this par for the course or does it need tweaking...

I'm thinking of getting rid of my Sprinter van and opting for something smaller. This means I'll be able to reduce the number of vehicles I own, so out go my Omega and beautiful S210. :( I've been weighing up the up the differences between the VW Transporter and the Mercedes Vito. In my...

I have a debt outstanding of almost £1,000. Despite numerous reminders being sent, after five months I've still received nothing but false promises of payment. My final demand, sent a week ago threatened court action if payment not received within 7 days. Still no payment received. Can anyone...

have you a source for 7.25 sr 13 at acceptable costs? so far I have sourced a few on the continent, however of the cheapest ones one would have cost more than a full set for my contemporary w220. Has anyone tried to fit other more contemporary tires to the 13's rims without it looking totally...

Perhaps this should have been my first port of call? I've spent the past few weeks looking for one on Ebay/Gumtree/Autotrader. Guess what...most vendors seem unable to comprehend the meaning of 'no rust' and failed/sheared glowplugs!!:wallbash: The cars I've seen have been priced between 1850...

Hi Folks, sorry for the long post - lots of procrastinating before taking the plunge!! I'm looking at buying my first Mercedes. I'm looking at C class saloon or estate and maybe an E class but think they might be a bit large. I have two buying options: - 1. buy now with a £6k budget, (sell...

At title, I have been car shopping today. Saw an A class on Pistonheads (details below) which looked appealing and having spoken to the seller, decided to have a look at it. Right in the middle of London, so we took the train up as I'm no fan of driving in the centre of town. We duly arrive...

So I'd like to replace the alarm that was in the car when I bought it and add some kind of mechanical immobiliser. Having read through various alarm posts/recommendations on this forum it seems like Clifford have got the best rep, but I'm open to any make. Can anyone recommend a reasonably...

Hello All! 1st post so please be gentle :) Hope I will be welcome! I'm about to take delivery of a C250 Cdi Sport Auto in the next few weeks - long story so won't bother you with details! It just came off the boat from Zeebrugge a few days ago and is at the holding compound at Boston...

I'm on the hunt for a nice clean CL500 for someone. Please get in touch if you know of a nice example.
