    SL500 tappets / cam oiler noise - suggestions?

    Hi all, I have a 1997 Sl500 and over the last 2 months there has been an increasing noise from the engine. This started after I had an oil service, in which they flushed the engine. I'm assuming that it may be a broken plastic cam oiler tube, which is a common fault. I've been...

    Next car suggestions

    Sold the C43 earlier and the C32 will be going up (properly) for sale soon as well which will leave me with a bit of a conundrum. What 'toy' to go for next? I've come to a bit of a mental block if I'm honest so I thought I'd see if anyone had any ideas, the budget will be roughly up to £7k...

    Suggestions for W210 E55 AMG brake discs

    Hi, Changed the pads on my 2001 E55 AMG a couple of days ago, using genuine merc pads... to discover an awful bounce on the pedal. This wasn't as bad on the old pads as I guess they'd bedded over time with the discs. Really need to change the discs now. The prices for discs are painful to...

    New CLS W218 ambient lighting - suggestions please?

    I had a look (laying on the floor looking up!) - and the ambient lighting strips seem to be fitted into the wooden door trims. Does anyone know if these are, or could be connected to work as an after fitment. It did not come with ambient lighting. Thanks.
