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...

Just a quick one to bounce around and see what people think.. I have too many cars (currently 4). The SLK, an Impreza estate (2000/W), a Fiat Panda (1993/K) and a Fiat Barchetta (1995/M), which is currently in storage. I drive them all the most, SWMBO walks to work. The Panda is really her...

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...

I looked over a very low mileage 230TE from 91 this weekend that a friend of my father was looking to sell having stopped driving through advanced age. It had 29k on the clock, in white, blue interior, auto but no other luxuries, one small rust patch after a rear ding, bumper scuffing...

Hello. I'm considering buying a car for my parents and the one at the top of my list is a late nineties C250 TD. I know very little about these cars but like the fact that they have a pretty straightforward old type diesel engine with very little of the electronic control found in all modern...

I'm working on the purchase of a '95 E320 coupé, which I'd like to keep relatively quiet, lest I lose out, though there is nothing underhand involved. Are any members willing to check over the information I have to date and advise accordingly? If so, let me know and I will forward the info. I...

As usual the forum experts have provided the answer! Last night my near side door lock began to 'bounce', seeking guidance It appears to be a very common problem requiring the lock unit to be replaced (currently on order). Now for the advice side, whilst searching the forum the majority of...

I am going to be moving house in the next few weeks. We are going back to an older house that needs lots of modernising and has a lot of trees and bushes to be either cut down or drastically trimmed. I intend doing lots of the manual stuff myself. Why is this motoring, even less Mrecedes...
