Hi guys, The fuel flap on w203 coupe does not seem to lock at all with the central locking, I know this is not an important issue but it would be nice if it worked correctly. I have searched multiple forums but can find no solutions, does anyone know what could cause this? Cheers guys...

About 9 months ago one of my company vans was nicked in Bracknell doing 36 in a 30 with a rear camera. The day in question was a nightmare one, wrong/missing/not enough of various materials, and all 3 of my staff drove this road repeatedly during the day to different places. I was the only one...

Hi all, I'm going to replace the suspension on my 1990 W124 230e as soon as I get a bit of spare cash. It currently has the uprated springs, which give it the higher ride height and is very hard, but bouncy...if that makes sense! I'm wondering if anyone can advise me on two things: 1) The...

Hi everyone. I live in South Africa, and here we have plenty of the old 124 E-Class mercedes' around. Some in good shape with full service history, and some in poor shape. Now, I'm looking for a second hand 124 shape that's in pristine condition, but would like to get your feelings as to what...

Heyas, My sister needs a new car. She's after the following: - Not too big (5 door hatchback type ideal) - Ideally 2004 or newer - "nice" (women get to say things like that and mean them) - Automatic (she's sick of manual, hard to do make up while changing gears) - £3-4k - Small...

As above, I need a specialist bodyshop to fit my newly acquired WALD kit to my W202. Suggestions please.

Hi all, I recently took my friend for a drive in my 320 CLK and he fell in love with it and he's now decided to sell his car and enter the world of Mercedes. Unfortunately the CLK is not an option as he has 3 kids so he needs a wee bit more space than mine. His budget is up to 10k and i've...

Q1. Checking a gearbox... How do you check an auto box on a cheap car? The missus has just sold her car, decided to pocket the cash and used the Jedi mind trick to convince me that the CLK should sit on the drive for her use (keeping mileage down) and I should spend about £500 to £800 on a...

I have a birthday coming up soon :bannana: Any suggestions for a Mercedes-Benz related prezzy I might ask for? Yeh, the SLR would be nice but keep it below £500 :rolleyes:

The 124 I bought last week has two new (but cheap) front tyres, but I need to change the rears. I'm going to stick with the original 195/65/15 size , on the assumption that Mercedes knew what they were doing when they chose them!. Ive had a look on...

Hi there, just posted some photos of my new Coupe in the gallery. Any suggestions for some future mods appreciated and any comments welcome:)

Hi All As some of you may know I recently purchased a CLK320 W208 with a murky past. To cut a long story short I'm trying to get a chassis plate for the window and a type plate for the drivers B Pillar. No dealer will order them over the phone and the online Oxford place took the order and...

Any insurance people on this forum? A friend's son turned 17 the other day, wants to get a Provisional License & learn how to drive. He's a responsible, well mannered, non feral kid doing his A levels after getting 10 A & B grade GCSEs, works at Waitrose on Saturdays. He's getting...

Hi all, Merry Christmas to you all. I have a L plate E220 W124 estate, with 155000 miles, which I've had for 6 months now. Brilliant car, which has taken me a few thousand miles without any trouble. The thing is, there is a strange noise from the engine, which is quite noticeable at tickover...

A few years back, we had a spill of nail varnish down the driver's side of the centre console box (which is black). Someone nameless, but female :crazy: , put the open pot of varnish on top of the box lid.....inevitable result moments later: white streaks covering an area of approx 10cm x...

I know there have been threads covering this topic before but these have proved unsuccessful. I have a W203 command unit that is operating version 8 navigation dvd (vehichle registered Jan 07). Can anybody provide an insight as to the codes required to gain access into the engineering/secret...

As some of you may know I have a Mercedes C class w202, there are some mods which I have done: Front grille, indicators and rear lamps upgraded Upgraded sound system with speakers Wood interior partially installed Chrome gear surround, instrument and heater rings Chrome door lock and...

I finally managed to get the 16" wheels I've been wanting for a good while now. They were sold as a set of four i.e., no spare. Until I can get hold of another 7.5J 16 ET41 rim, will I be able to use one of the old 15" wheels I've got - will the slight difference in rolling radius cause...

I've had the MB front discs and pads changed several times now on my SEC, but after about a week the brakes start squealing again on gentle braking under 30mph and when coming to a halt in traffic. Any suggestions on squeak-free pads, or is there another solution?
