I cant reply in the gallery so thought I'd open a new thread on the subject here. Looks like a mamouth project which has certainly caught my interest. Keep us posted on how you get on. I have a couple of questions though. This chap with the spares - Starpartz. You link doesnt work. Do...

Here are the pics so far: see here http://s280.photobucket.com/albums/kk174/joebonnemay/E36/W123%20Resto/?albumview=grid for the consolidated picture story! More will be added as time progresses and I'll update this thread as required. Here's the cut & pasted storyline!! People did also say...

A few months ago my car started acting up, While sat at some traffic lights the dashboard flashed up an error code about ESP failing and the car went into limp mode, so I pulled over switched of and restarted and all was well. then after several weeks of trouble free motoring (rare for me) it...

My '03 ML Cdi has been playing up by not revving past 3000rpm and no kickdown etc (only intermittently). I have been in and out of the car quite a bit today, and it has without fail started to work properly about 1 or 2 mins after i start it. Once it clears and starts working, it does not fail...

Another quick rant..... My '03 CLK240 cab failed its 'only' 2nd MOT due to a cracked front coil spring at 50k miles. And this was after the car receiving a 'health check' at the dealers prior to the MOT. And I'm so glad I took out service contract on this car :bannana: Is this a common...

It looks like there are other good car forums out there too: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/south_east/6292354.stm Made me smile to read that :-) -simon

Hi guys - been subscribed here for a while but not posted! Bought a 2003 E270CDI in December, got about 8 miles and some rear-ended it quite hard, glad I wasn't still in my A class is all I can say. Just got it back from the body shop - can't tell it's been repaired, very good job (MB approved...

As Howard pointed out the other day the sellers always talk rubbish when trying to sell items on ebay that we do not need to know...:rolleyes: Nice set of damaged wheels (need full refurb) in link below (asking price is a joke and story does not make a lot of sense...) :rolleyes...

While my car was in for an MOT there was a C Class in having the interior stripped out. The owner of the car had taken it to be valetted at some back street place and the morons there had used a power washer on the interior :eek: When the owner came to collect the valetter told him they...

Well, Yesterday, I picked up our 1999 E240 Estate that has been at the bodyshop for a month or so for warranty work, re Rust! There has already been a lot of talk re the well known rust problems on the w210 range especially, but it also relates to other models within the MB range, which is...

Yesterday at work I had the afternoon off and walked over to my car - drat - I noticed the back tyre was flat. I spend ten minutes pumping it up and it seemed to hold the pressure. So I took it to the local tyre shop on the way home to see if I could get it repaired. I hoped so as the tyres were...

I couldn't sleep, so I thought I'd get up, go to my laptop and type a little story. It has a moral too. :) Ages and ages ago, after I had installed my sub, amp and new head unit, times were good, untill I turned the volume up past the point where the factory speakers could take it. The time...

So, last week I was in costco, debating whether to put new tyres on my existing wheels or buy some new alloys. Offer (20% off a set of 4 michelins, as mentioned on here) was valid until Sunday, but decided against as we figured we'll get some new wheels with new tyres at some point soon...

Fascinating story of a chappie in the US who won the bidding on a new Mitsi Lancer. The story is spreading like wildfire. Impossible to keep up with, but a fascinating read!. The story has been posted on thousands of forums and boards - and spreading rapidly...
