Car is 2016 W213 E220d. In for yet more warranty work today and called late afternoon to say they can't test drive it as tyres are too dangerous. The central block of tread has 5mm at least right across the legally required section. *I think new tyres have some 8mm tread so they haven't worn...
Even the treat overall is very good on my front tyres, they are really bad on both sites on the inside. Car is 2013 C63. Is that common or is this a trip to do camber?
An article in the UK news recently about part worn tyres reminded me of my own experience of 'out of date' tyres on sale.
My wife's 13 year old run around suffered a un repairable puncture recently and as the spare tyre was new I thought it might be a good idea to use the spare and match it...
Is that due entirely to tracking?
Or is there any other possible issues that could possibly cause this. I am actually talking on the innermost ,err, tread segment.
There car steer and feels just fine. The tyres are half worn otherwise.
Speed bumps I rarely ever need to use at all...
Noticed driving into the setting sun that my windscreen is not a 'clear' as it should be. Although there are 2 or 3 small stone nicks and after giving it a really good clean inside and out it is as if has been sand blasted between the layers. Screen original 6 years old. Anyone else seen...
My e500 Coupe in the last day has developed increased road noise. When the car was in for a service (in march) my indie (who I trust without question) advised that the nearside rear upper front arm bush & offside rear sub frame bush debonding and allowing some movement. It wasnt a massive issue...

Gets in my car this morning and gets this flashing up, only had car for three months, so trip to MB so they can replace pads FOC
And looking at my disc's these look like they are on the last legs if so they can also do these FOC
I drive a 2012 C180 AMG Sport.
I got told by Mercedes that my right lower "camber arm" is worn out and needs replacing. The whole suspension needs to be recalibrated.
Is it expected to have to replace part of a suspension this early in the car's life? I never had to replace these on any of...
I have a e320 cdi w211 and 3 month ago fitted 4 new tyres to the car. While putting it the car baby seat I happened to look down and notice the n/s/r tyre down the the canvass on the outer edge of the tyre. Rest of the tyre is like new. All the other tyres are wearing normal.
I'm unsure the...
Hi,I got a worn driving seat on my r129 anyone know a good leather repairer,or is it worth looking for a second hand driving seat.its not to bad but it can only get worse.
Hi,
I purchased my C63 from GC Motors in December and it had just over 4k on the clock, it's a 14 plate first registered end of June 2014 so only 9 months old.
Since buying I noticed quite a lot of noise / drone from the front end but never thought too much about it, the first Merc I've...

Hi. First post. Recently purchased a used clk 220 cdi. Had haida? front and triangle? rear tyres fitted when I bought it. Shocked at how hard it was to stop and stay in a straight line in sudden snow/ice at low speed. If you love your family then make sure your tyres are up to the job. Shame its...
An old friend will be moving to the USA on November 16 to take up an 18 month consultancy role. He has removed four tyres from his 2011 E350 cabrio before it goes back to the leasing company and the tyres are available for sale. Here is the description he sent me.
The tyres are Continental...
Hi. The plastic connector plugs (connecting the wiring to plug into the sensors) on my 2001 W208 CLK 230K M111 Engine, are slowly disintegrating and coming loose from the sensors (particularly the MAF, throttle body and camshaft position sensor)
I believe this is the reason I get fault codes...
Hi,
Following on from my post 'new member in Suffolk' in general discussion.
I am due to collect a 2007 A180 CDi Elegance SE auto next Tuesday. It's from MB and has had two lady owners and 43k since new.
The only thing is that the leather on the left and right of the steering wheel is quite...
Hi,
I bought this set of wheels from Ebay UK about two weeks ago. Unfortunately I didn't check that bolt size is different for SLK R172 and they won't fit.
Here's the description from Ebay auction, from previous owner:
