tip

The self adhesive pads that hold on my numberplate were past their best so I took the time to renew them this evening. Nothing spectacular in itself, but I was having trouble removing the residue of the old pads before fitting the new ones (I actually used double sided body moulding tape for...

Could be of use to someone? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MERCEDES-C-CLASS-W203-W-203-REAR-EXHAUST-BOX-TAIL-PIPE_W0QQitemZ4653879218QQihZ002QQcategoryZ10398QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

ok. so i went down to the garage to have a look at this car today: 2002 51 Reg MERCEDES-BENZ CLK 200K Elegance Tip 2 Doors, Automatic, Coupe, Petrol, 50,000 miles, Metallic Blue, 2 Owners. ABS, Adjustable seats, Adjustable steering column/wheel, Air conditioning, Alloy wheels, Computer...

Laughed out loud at this (read through the replies) :D :D

Approach T junction in appalling rain. Turning left takes you up a wide empty hill with water streaming down it. Turn off ESP, select first with tiptronic, nail it, catch 45 degree slide, hold it sideways a bit going up hill, wipe stupid grin off face, tell myself I should have grown out of that...

I'm driving along in 7th.... typing a message on the forum.... no sorry.... I'm driving along in 7th or D anyway.... I tip down and 6 shows on the gear display, or I flip down and 6 shows on the gear display, or I kick down and D shows on the gear display. Why is that?

Be very careful when fitting alloy valve caps, I fitted some to mine about 5-6 months ago, and I know, I know I should check my pressures more often, but as I don't use the car that much, I neglected to do so. Anyway, I went to check the pressures today, and would the bloody things come off...

Hi ppl, I'm just wondering if you guys know if one were to foolishly (like i did) use an abrasive paper (or sandpaper) and rubbed it against the interior walls of the exhaust pipe tips, would it affect the emissions. I've noticed lately a strange smoke (whitish/grey/black) being emitted once...

Hi Annoyed at the cost of the pollen filter (£20 + vat) for my 98 E 300 i decided not to change it at the last service, well sure enough i found the blower making noise and not delivering. Removed the said filter and hoovered it out with the wifes hoover and a pointy attachment thingy on the...

(similar to my Vodafone voicemail tip tread) To increase the numbers of rings until it diverts to voicemail on Orange phones: **61*07973100123*11*30# (send) The 30 is the number of seconds until it diverts - you can out in any number from 5-30. Have tested OK with SE 750i and SPV2000.

Came accross a chap today that had a flat tyre on the rear of his Audi. He couldn't get the wheel off the hub due to corrosion. He was on the phone to the AA when I pulled up. To save him the hour wait I showed him the trick. Kick the rim of the wheel a few times, this breaks the binding...

996 C2 tip cab '00 regn 38K miles - totally underwhelmed when I test drove this car. Very pretty and a more comfortable ride than I'd expected, but SLOW. Can't believe how used I am to the power of the SL but the 6.0 AMG totally blows the porsche away, particularly at high overtaking speeds...

I am running out of time, was hoping for the car to fetch more than it is currently at. Similar cars on Autotrader in excess of £16500, much more at MB dealers. Can a charitable soul provide a valuation, inc the optional fitments? My SLK on eBay.

Most of you may already know this but if you are happy with your renewal premium make sure that you get a new quote from your existing provider. Examply renewal has just come up for my 04 Mini Cooper. Renewal £536 With Elephant. Went online got a new quote and the premium was £474. I...

For anyone using PC's, and use them a lot that the text sends you squinting try this. :crazy: http://www.microsoft.com/typography/ClearTypeInfo.mspx Gotta say mine did sharpen up a bit, but i'm still going to buy a new screen

To change the time (number of rings) before it diverts to voicemail Key in : **61*121*10*30# Send (you can change the last 30 to 10, 15, 20 or 25) to increase the time in seconds before it diverts to Voicemail. Anyone know any other sohrtcuts ?

Hi I have fitted my new AMG Exhaust tip that Peter had for sale in the classifieds. [img=http://img97.exs.cx/img97/9288/dsc000819bz.th.jpg] [img=http://img49.exs.cx/img49/240/dsc000826eo.th.jpg] Regards Tan

Hi, I decided to take a chance on the tip on ebay but It will need hacking about to fit my car :( So I have decided to put it back on ebay but I thought I would offer it here first Its part number is A129 490 0627 my guess is its for the SL 60 pictures here...

If you have to use the brush at the jet wash, why not remember to use the high pressure lance on the brush before letting the brush anywhere near your car - it helps ensure its as clean and grit free as possible. Marc

Has anyone converted a std 5spd auto {circa 1997} to a tip control? I fancy a tip gearbox and understand that it is more or less the same as a 5spd box. Cheers Dave
