Hi All, I've a petrol to diesel swap ambition. Does anyone know of anyone who would undertake that sort of thing for me, and roughly what'd be the costs involved? I have both cars (W123's) in their original state at the moment. Any info gratefully received! Cheers, Paul

I currently travel the same route every Monday morning before traffic builds so can achieve reasonably close results. I changed my wheel / tyre combination from winter 17" to the fitted as standard 18" summer conti's over the weekend. I have then driven down the A12 over the Dartford crossing...

Hi there, I class myself as a fairly good hobby mechanic, in the past Iv changed loads of engines in fords and vaxhalls mostly putting bigger lumps in for more power. I gave up cars for a few years and am now a bit out of touch, when buying my Merc I just thought of it as a car to get from A...

Initially I am just gaging any potential interest.. As some of you may know I have a B class with the "Sports" suspension set up which I will be changing for the "Comfort" setup soon. I have 17" wheels / tyres on my car. I was wondering if there are any fellow B class owners who might be...

Hello all. I have a w169 20006 with audio 20. Am I right in thinking I can purchase the NTG 2.5 HDD and simply swap the units over to get sat nav, Bluetooth phone,etc? Anyone done this/have a walkthrough/know of potential issues? Thanks Babybenz

Can an EPIC Lucas injection pump (see photo) be replaced by a bosch equivilant, and if so, who where, and how much? In a c220 1996 diesel Elegance.

After waiting an age for the dealer who sold me my car to send me the satnav disk, surprise! it's the wrong one. I am so not suprised, but I will try and get them to sort it. However, as I found out with the CD stacker, once they have your hard earned, they don't want much to do with you...

Been offered a straight swap with a 2007 Alfa 159 2.4 diesel. Do you think it's worth it? 90K miles, leather interior, fully loaded apart from SatNav (not bothered about that anyway), full service history.

Worth a try, looking for a nice 04-05 black C55 saloon, under 60k miles. Anyone interested in swapping for a 05 plate Mitsubishi Evolution FQ320 in electric blue, 34k miles, SH, 400BHP, titanium exhaust, lots of genuine carbon fibre.
