tools

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...

I am wanting to buy a glow plug spanner or socket drive (8mm for an E CLass glowplug change - 2006 E280 CDi). Anyone know of a good supplier. Question 2 is whether I can access the glow plug hex nut with the usual angled spanner (seem cheaper to buy than a set of 3 x socket drives?) as the...

For years I've borrowed friends socket sets, so it's about time I bought my own! The two immediate jobs I have in mind are; spark plug change and front brake pads/discs on a Smart ForTwo. The spark plugs need a 16mm spark plug socket and need to be tightened to 22Nm. So I think I need to...

Hi there, i'm reasonably competent mechanically and i've always worked on my own VWs however i am finding that i'm constantly caught out by needing certain tools to work on my w210. It's a w210 E320 with the V6 engine and next weekend i intend to change the spark plugs, air filter, oil and...

Anyone use online survey tools? I've used Zoomerang for several years now. It's a great tool, and good value too. Unfortunately it doesn't conform with W3C WAI guidelines for accessibility and as such will be black marked later this year when all internal and external websites used by...

What tools would I need to change front pads and disks on a 2000 W202 ? I have a basic (Halfords) socket set, and Axel stands......and all of this morning. There is a "how to" for a W208 (pictures are missing though :( ) - is it basically the same ?

Just completed my radiator swap (W202 C43). Will do a write up shortly. If anyone is planning to do this on their car, or some other job that requires removing the viscous fan for any reason, and doesn't want to buy the tools outright, they could hire them from me if needed.
