Hi I have a '99 ML163 that has very poor headlights even after fitting xenon bulbs. I have some spot lamps still from my rallying days and should put them to use. Are there any spot light brackets available that do not require Bull Bars? Thanks in advance Hamish

Symtom pull away very slow in 1st (manual mode) press pedal slowly build to 2/3k rpm then big hiccup and back to normal. pull away in second slowly is the same but less of a jerk pull away in second quickly (like pulling out on to a round-a-bout) the car then double starts, hard to...

it has a current MOT and is taxed so it's usable. Why am I tempted? Someone shoot this down and put me out of my misery. LINKY LINK

So who is going to be the first to spot him? :dk:

One thing has often left me cursing my senses, and that is the issues of a cars noise. Now i say this, as i used a comparison between a Citreon Saxo super modded to heaven :wallbash:, against a Ferrari F430. For example of course. The question being, when you hear the noise of the car (be it...

Recently my 124 series E320 Coupe has developed an intermittent flat spot in all gears between 4,000 and 6,000 rpm. I keep my foot planted, but when in that rev range, the engine feels as though it struggles, and it feels as though there's power/torque loss. Unfortunately, that's the best...

Hi there. Can anyone remember what lamps are in the front fog lamps and also the full beam spot lamps? I need to replace one of the fog lamps so I thought I'd try to get hold of some 4000K colour temperature lamps to try to match the HID head lights a bit. I think the yellowy fogs and...

My 1991 200te has developed an intermittent problem which I suspect is a fault in the Fuel Injection system. The tickover is rough and for the first half of the throttle there is no power just a sound reminiscent of a 2nd choke opening too much, but if I floor the throttle it'll clear as the...

Arriving back to my underground parking spot in Galway, I see an SL with old style AMG rims, with about 2 inches deep on the rears. It says SL60 on the back, and looks the business. I've never seen one before and from what I understand they are exceedingly rare - only 180 produced in RHD form...
