I haven't had a proper look at the job, but I did watch a you tube video today of the job being done on a W202 which had the same set up as the...

    Spring / flexible clamp between turbo and front pipe e300td

    Any pointers on how to remove the spring / flexible clamp between turbo and front pipe on a e300td? It looks like it wants compressing with some sort of compressor (g clamps may work?) but I don't want to brutalise it if it is fairly straightforward to do correctly or there is an easy work...

    Where Can I Get a (or pair of) W210 E430 Avantgarde Front Spring?

    As title suggests, I need a new front spring for my E430 estate. I can't find anywhere that lists them. Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place, but I can only find smaller engine models listed and most say non sport. My NSF spring has broken where it seats onto the lower arm. Thanks R

    First day of Spring and a new way of seeing a similar view

    So again we had another day of sunshine and the day was too good not to go out in the shed or on foot, so I did both. I piloted the shed to Glen Fruin. From last nights chat with the police officer of where to get good views, I thought I'd take their advice for once in my life. I decided...
