OK, maybe i should have got one from a dealer. However, I got a pattern part from ECP.:doh: Owing to the excellent descriptions of other members of this forum, the nuts-and-bolts of the task was easy. Siphoned the header tank, so almost no spillage. Have a chain wrench, so the oil filter was...

Hi all, I have a dent in my boot lid and a cheaper alternative to having it beaten out and resprayed is to but a new boot lid from a breakers yard. I've found a black one to match my car. I know the colour won't be spot on but I'm planning on a white wrap anyway. My question is... How difficult...

Right then, before we start... who wants a brew? :p As some of you may know, during the heatwave in July/August my headgasket in the estate went due to severe overheating issues. I had to get this engine replaced ASAP so I started searching for a temporary replacement engine. Finding a...

As the anti glare liquid in my drivers side mirror has all but drained away, leaving the mirror cloudier than a Scottish summer, I've bitten the bullet and ordered a new replacement from MB. Almost had a seizure when they told me the price, but it had to be done. Anyhow, is the glass easy to...

Found a broken road spring on the front of the car today and wanted to get it sorted straight away. Not having an internal spring compressor I asked an indie how much as a labour job, then asked the dealer when collecting the spring, expecting both to say...well it's a 15 minute job, so price...
