They don't look to bad, better than the set i have, whats the postage going to be tho?

I wouldn't trust them on a W124 front spring - they look far too flimsy

If it's a choice between those and the "proper" tool I know which I'd choose.

Buying a decent compressor may cost more in the short term but it will save you money (and maybe even save you a trip or two to casualty) in the long run.

Don't cut corners on "essential" tools

If you're thinking of doing it for a living then you need a decent set. I've sent you a PM.

Would hate to see a spring in yer forehead mate...go for a propa job

odd seem to have gone all west country ohh arrgghh

 

[janner]

This is the little fella you need.

Agreed with the rest. Go for the proper MB tools. I've had several W124's and in the early days, I would take the car to several cowboys and they would not have the proper tools. They would literally spend half a day on changing coil springs.

Now I go to a good indie who has All the necessary tools. The last time, he changed both springs in 30-40 mins.

I guess that you need the correct codec installed in media player - it will probably be divx or mpeg4

Hi Andy,
Thanks for that. So for us thickies I will hopefully nip into Google and search for Codec 'divx' or 'mpeg4'? I just wish I knew what I was on about

Thanks again,
John

 

[andy_k]

Just install DivX - you only need the codec,

here's a link to a page which tells you just how to do that

Hi Andy,
Thanks very much indeed for the link. I downloaded the DivX, installed it, watched the demo video, but Janner's link still only plays the music?

Sounds like a job for my son when he gets home tonight. I'm wondering if it is my security settings, although it seems strange that it plays the music?
