tap

Hi Guys, This may be a long shot but hoping for some feedback for a 2005 C-Class Estate. The plan is to install a reverse camera near the License plate and a complimentary monitor on the rear headliner section so that it is in direct view in the rear view mirror when reversing and this also...

Replaced the SLS lines today on my 1994 W124 estate. However on the levelling value to one of the main 6mm pipes, the threads are stripped. I want to repair this with helicoil, but need to know the type and size of the union/bolt for that part... (ie size and whether its metric/imperial...

Hi all - I've just bought myself a 2002 E500. First of the W211s. 100,000 miles on the nose. Lots of history and appears to have been well cared for. On acceleration it sounds faintly clattery - think of a low pitched tappet type noise. It doesn't go away when warmed up but is not audible on...

Not as straightforward as it might seem, to me at least. I have a swivelling kitchen mixer tap, on which the swivelling head is secured into the body of the tap by a nylon ring/gland/packing/washer/collar :dk: which is in turn secured by a grub screw. With time, the ring etc. has worn, and the...

The car is a 13 Plate W212 E250 facelift. I am looking for an all the time on power source for a security device to be placed inside the car. The power rating of the device is only 100 mA. I have checked the fuse box at the left of the engine compartment. But the wiring work is so tidy that I...

Hi again all. I am about to mount two extra driving lights (Hi beam) to my -05 S211 and I am wondering if there are a suitable place in the fusebox or elsewhere to tap the signal to trigger the relay? Or do I need to tap into the hi beam wire as we have always done? Seems a little old...

Hi was just wondering if anyone had one installed and your thoughts on it? Also was interested in knowing which make you have and whether it's been reliable as I 've heard Hard water(which we have) can cause them problems. I was thinking of getting a Quooker like this: Modern kraan...

Hi, I have a COMAND NTG 2 in my 2006 CLK, and I'm looking to do an audio upgrade. I've got some Morel Maximos on order (for the front set of of speakers) and have a lot of dynamat from an install i've carried out in my MX5. Haven't decided on the second set of speakers yet, whether to add a...

any advice appreciated on changing a cam lifter. Or is it really as simple as popping the old one out and pushing a new one in? I"m guessing there's more to it than that but I tried the Wyns-type treatment and it didn't work so i thought i might as well buy an aftermarket one for about 5 quid...

Anyone recommend a tap and die set? Bought a mid-priced set from Screwfix but it was a bit Buffalo Bill, so that's gone back. It's a minefield out there, and there's lots to choose from and prices that seem to escalate wildly. Thoughts please, from those who have a good set they'd be happy to...

Hey all, Got a weird problem, cold water only seems to come out of the water tap sometimes when I turn it, its like a bit of a lottery! Cold water comes out as normal in any other tap in the house, its just the kitchen one which is incidentally the tap closest to the supply pipe I believe...

Hi can anyone advise a suitable switched 12v tap-in under the dashboard for a speed camera. I assume that maybe the cigar ligheter would do, but how do I remove the Comand to get to it? Cheers

I've tried the usual Google and read my Collins DIY bible but can't find the answer, so I'm calling on the forum yet again for help. My 15 year old bathroom taps are dripping. New washer time? After I pop off the plastic handle it looks as if I have a traditional pillar tap like this...

Just replaced the washer and when I turn the tap on now it starts singing when the hot water reaches (but not before) We have a new condensing combi-boiler and I'm guessing it's an airlock somewhere - how do I get rid of it? P.S. Only does it on the one tap in the house :confused:

2001 E220 CDi Avantgarde, 5 Speed Tip, 108K Miles old I'm getting an annoying tapping sound from the engine. 'Tapping' is the best word I can find to describe the noise. It is more apparant when I am driving up a narrow street where you get an echo of the walls. A friend said it sounds...

Hi all - Wondered if anyone knew of some kind of pump that would up the pressure on my outside tap ? At the moment washing the car takes forever ! I've seen a kind of in-line pump intended for use with water butts, but unsure if I could use it for another purpose. Thanks in advance

Now the summers here i've invested (not sure how it's an investment mind :rolleyes: ) in a 100 pints of Grolsh, ice beer cooler, C02 gas and fittings to pull my own pints :D :D :bannana: Just need someone to help me drink 100 pints before sell-by-date on the keg of 27th July!! :D I...

Looking for a tap for my kitchen and found this....... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5971261578&fromMakeTrack=true Wow !!!

Anyone have a view on whether it is harmful to the engine to tap the accelerator lighty when starting the car? This is only because lately occasionally I find the benz a little wobbly on the start and giving it a little tap helps smooth the starting. 90% car starts strongly and confidently, but...

hi i have a 1999 CLK. I need to sense when the alarm is ARMED (or unarmed). Anyone know the best/easiest wire to tap into, nearest the radio as possible. its so i can detect whether to switch something off ONLY when the alarm is armed.... thanks in advance! derek
