wear

Hi guys, got a strange one (well i think so)....the rear nearside tyre has worn considerably quicker than the offside. Virtually to the wear indicator (evenly across the whole tyre) whereas the offside has a good 4mm left across the whole tyre...! Is this bad rear geometry....or is the rear...

I have to arrange a dinner for our company president and an important client in the Tyne and Wear area but I'm not familiar with fine dining in that part of the country. I've been trawling reviews but wondered if anybody local could recomend something good? Looking for fine dining, michelin...

Had a front punture earlier this week and as deemed 'unrepairable' I stuck the winters on earlier than planned. Took the rears off and whilst I knew they were low on tread, hadnt looked hard enough at the inner edge. Very similar to how they wear on the 3 series coupe - have lasted 26k miles...

Gents & Ladies, I have had my CLS350 3500 mile from the dealers. After 100 meters I noticed a faint bump bump bump as the speed increased I phoned the garage and informed them about it but I was just 3 hours from a flight so couldn't return. On return from holiday their top tech had a...

Hi all, hoping someone can shed some light on this... The front left on my cdi220 wore so bad on the outside edge i had to get new tyres, it was also pulling to the left - its still pulling to the left but not as bad with these new tyres, coincidence or? Anyway, i got it checked at a tyre...

Hi folks, I have the outside edge front tyre wear problem on my CLK270. I've had a 4 wheel alignment check on a Hawkeye machine today and have a basic printout. I'd like to post it for any comments, as a PDF or Image. I want to know whether this is a problem I just have to get used...

hi there anyone know any Mercedes approved garages in tyne and wear that will offer great bodywork but not at stealership prices?? thanks!any help appreciated!:thumb:

I noticed today that the finish has started to come off the side bolster of my drivers seat. At 16000miles and 2 years I think it is poor and will take it up with the dealer and no doubt Mercedes will reject a warranty claim. I am not a bloater and clean/feed the seats regularly with...

Hi might be a bit of a bone question but does the w211 have wear sensors as standard? And do I need to change them with the pads? Also can you trust them or will I be damaging my discs by the time they activate?

Hi all,can anyone tell me at what percentage of wear the brake pad warning light will illuminate?

Right the other day the brake wear indicator come on, I went round and checked all the pads but all of them only look half worn. Is it normal for them to trigger early? I wanted to know if the rear brakes have sensors or just the front? Im unsure if this is down to a dodgy sensor but I want to...

Hi all, C200 W203 2006 I changed my brake pads front and rear but the new set didn't have a sensor wired in, whereas one of the pads on the front that I removed did have. Since then I have had a brake wear message up. Is there a trick to fool the sensor wiring into thinking it has one fitted...

Has anyone had dealings with this particular car dealer? I thought I should post a note of my experience of these dodgy guys. I was going to buy a SL350 from them, but as they were in Sunderland, and I was in London, I had the car inspected by the RAC before I actually saw it. No point of...

Help please. I have a 2008 C320cdi Sport. In Feb 2010 I had an accident which required replacement of both rear alloys and rear suspension. This was done through my insurance company at an approved Mercedes repair centre. At that stage I was doing fairly low mileage (approx 5000 miles/year). In...

Hi, I've bought a 2nd hand set of 16" wheels and tyres for my car, which came off the same model car (W211). The wheels and tyres are in great condition with ~6mm tread on the Continental tyres. However, 2 of the tyres have slightly more wear on the inside edges. My question is this...

Does the 210 brake lining wear indicator monitor the brake linings on the front and rear, or just the front?

Hi Guys, I have a 53 plate C180K estate and the rear tyres are both worn right down on the inside. The rest of the tread is OK, its almost like it is only rolling on 10% of the tyre. I would say they have not done much more than 10K. I have a number of bushes replaced last year. As you look...
