tools

Hi chaps , chapets. I can't believe I have only just discovered the Automotive tool section of e-bay. I'm the sort of guy who ends up paying out more in tools so that I can do the job myself, than it would have cost to get the garage to do the job for me. I am now twitching over the buy it now...

Hi all, Is there a 'heath robinson' way to remove the comand head unit from my W208 CLK without the merc tools? I know this sounds ridiculous with them only being 60p or something, but I'm really impatient and wouldn't be able to get a set over here for a week or so by which time I'll have...

Today I was doing a glow plug change on a 300E Turbo. I have this glow plug extractor tool which I bought about 6 months ago but had never used. So thinking about it, thought to myself, give it a try. It is utterly useless, doesn't grip the glow plug as the collar is too, its too large to use in...

There seems to be some confusion on this forum and with Mercedes themselves as to whether you can buy Mercedes special tools from Mercedes parts stores. I rang three local dealers (Beaconfield, Readng and Slough) and all said no sorry sir, you cannot buy tools form us. They all pointed me to a...

Does anyone know where I can buy the tools needed to separate connector pins from connector bodies? I needed a tool shaped like a pin (ooerrrr) to release the contacts from the seat heater pad connector, but ended up working around the issue. So, next time I want to be properly armed :D

I am in the process of placing a rather large order for specialist Mercedes tools, in particular the dipsticks for the 722.6 transmission. The company also produce some other very good quality MB tooling so if anybody has an interest in anything like this I am happy to answer questions re...

What is the best (DIY affordable) tool for fault finding the electronics on the W211? Obviously a Star/Xentry system would be favourite, but is hardly affordable for the DIY enthusiast. I would like to be able to see whats happening engine, gearbox & driving systems wise and also reset fault...

I bought an inspection mirror, magnetic pick up(?) and magnetic bowl for screws etc from Aldi for 4.99 yesterday. The mirror extends to 80 cm as does the pick up. The pick up tool has a cylindrical end which is magnestised and has a powerful LED built in to the centre. I tend to find that I...

So..after visiting Olly this week, he reckons my tappety noise from the engine is, in fact caused by worn camshafts. :( I'm looking at around £1500 to redo that which is out of my price range totally. So I was chatting to my dad about it and we both quite fancy having a go at doing it...

How the heck do you work them? Its clear they slot into the holes.... But, how should the lever part be oriented, and how do they engage to withdraw the cluster? Ta Lakwa
