worn

Hi. Has anyone here ever experienced this : The Front brake pad is worn ONLY on the driver (right hand) side. Pads were changed ~ 6-7,000 miles ago. Normal use. But upon investigating a grinding noise from brakes, found that the right side pads were down to ~20% and thebrake disc/ rotor is so...

Deleted and moved to "Wheels" section. Sorry.

:wallbash: I have been advised that the random misfire and hunting is due to worn breather hoses on my C180K. Dealers want a small fortune to replace both hoses which only cost £16(parts only). I know these hoses are situated under air box, however after taking the six screws off air box cover...

Hiyas, The AMG gearknob in my C32 is worn. When I bought the car approximately 25% of the aluminum on the knob has worn away (leather is still A1 though). After looking round the web I can only seem to find none original replacements that cost too much. As I think I will be waiting a long...

Hello, My front tyres look like they are both equally worned on both outside? Kwickfit told me its because of the steering power? Would that be true? Or could it be a pressure issue? Cheers. Olivier

As a matter of interest how many hours does it take a competent specialist to replace worn valve guide oil seals on a 1991 500SE? How much would the parts cost? Thanks in advance. Piers

I've an eye out for a Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD-3 tyre, 225/45 ZR17 91W tyre. Anything with more than 4.5 mm even wear and in otherwise good condition, considered. 5-6mm ideal. If you have or see anything please let me know (PM pls). TIA Graham

Took car to work to replace front pads and discs, nearside front wheel bearing, nearside and offside lower front track control arms, all went okay until i found broken front coil spring and huge screw in the rear tyre:(. So looks like back to work today to do more work:mad: Pics of broken...

hi my wife's picasso's brake pads were changed about a year ago (by me). The discs were NOT changed. Anyway, there has been a vibration thru the steering wheel and also a intermittent squeek from the wheel recently so i took the wheel off to discover ONE pad was almost completely worn...

We have a v. clean 1997 C200 elegance estate with mushroom (cream/tan) cloth seats; 130k on the clock. We're hoping to keep the car for a few more years yet. I've just noticed a small worn patch on the top of the side of the driver's seat squab. The wear area is only about 2x2 cm but once it...

I attach some photos of the cloth type trim next to the drivers seat which has worn through. This is presumably because I have been "brushing" past it as I have been getting in and out of the car. The seat is in the normal driving position, which is fully back as I am 6'4" tall. I have also...

The protruding circumference (the unworn part) of a worn brake disc always causes the brake pad warning wire contact to touch the disc activating the warning light before the brake pad is really worn out. I am tempted to use an angle grinder to grind off the protrution when replacing the brake...

A few months after buying my 280E (5 years ago) I had a service at a MB dealership. They phoned me to say that all the brakes were worn and needed replacing. They said the front discs & pads needed doing now but the rears could be left until the next service. I agreed to have the front discs...

When collecting my W202 after drain and flush because of the unleaded debacle and whilst on my way home the brake pedal worked ok but just kept on all the way to the floor. After couple of roundabouts and a couple of miles I turned round straight back to the dealer with me thinking theyd made...

Hi everyone, I am after some advice on the tyres on my 2001 c200k coupe which I bought last week Used Approved from MB dealers. The rear tyres, although are still legal are quite worn compared to the front. I have been to a tyre centre who tell me they have only a couple of thousand miles left...

Up until now everything that has been done to my c200 has been routine maintenance like brakes, tyres, oil etc or a Mod ;) however, last week something actually wore out namely the front near side ball joint. 62000 and this is the first part to have been worn out. :) A quick call to my...

My friend has a W203 that was bought from new 11 months ago. To date it has done 5000 miles. A few days ago, one of his neighbour told him that he noticed that the rear tyres on my friend's car is completely worn out. My friend checked and was amazed to find both the tyres were indeed worn out...
