As EmilysDad says, it used to be the done thing in winter in Europe. In the early 1980's I had a diesel Citroen CX Familiale, based in Northern Greece and driving home to UK via Yugoslavia, Austria, Germany etc - wax was a massive problem, German taxi driver (MB driver) told me to put litres of...

Are you sure the recycling centre would accept it Russ, they're a bit picky about what they will and will not accept!!:p:p:p

I should cap the lot of you with the back of a C220 S204 packing for a weekend away for herself going to visit daughter and grandchildren - but the wide angle lens of my ittle camera is not adequate!!:D:D:D

Try 62872 AKA MBUSA on your phone keypad!

+1 on that thought, the posts you see on here (and on the MBClub forum) about Adblue/Nox sensor (expensive) problems, I would not touch an Adblue car with a very long barge pole! With diesel now about 10p/l more expensive that 95RON, fuel and servicing cost will be lower on a petrol, although...

Forum sponsors on here are comandonline.co.uk who know more about MB ICE/Satnav etc than most or all MB main dealers, suggest you contact them with you vehicle VIN so they can look up the build sheet for exactly what the car left the factory with, and tell you exactly what you need to update the...

First off, find the correct spec for a staggered 17" set for your car - you need the ET and PCD as well as the 17 x 7.5J front and 17 x 8J rear. Then search Ebay, which is where I found mine for my S204 which came on 16's. I paid about £350 for a set of 17" AMG genuine MB wheels, and sold on the...

2013 is a facelift W204, which IIRC the owners manual specifies 1 transmission service (fluid and filter) at 37.5k miles and after that - nothing! Although my car is pre facelift that's what the handbook says, I had a big discussion with the service manager (MB main dealer) when buying the car...

Cu - copper - Ni - Nickel - Fer - well, Fe is iron so presumably that's how the name came about. It's what was used recently to re-do the brake lines on our S204 which had rotted out across the back axle both sides, don't know what connector he used to connect to the old steel line where he cut...

Cunifer not brass for the line.

Thanks Russ, I saw your post about this, unfortunately I think/know it's not just the glass, it's what the glass clicks onto/over that I think is the problem, the obvious part is the part held on by a long screw which was obviously cracked so SIL super-glued the cracks closed, but then he had...

Had a coming together Saturday with BMW, offside wing mirror to wing mirror, glass on mine smashed - and I'm 120 miles from home staying with family! Daughter found a supposed heated replacement on Amazon for next day (Easter Sunday!) delivery. Found a couple of problems when it arrived. First...

I had an 827 Vitesse hatchback for a number of years, Honda V6 engine, lovely car in good condition, wife got upset when it approached 100k miles and insisted I trade it in - which eventually I did for an 820 turbo vitesse in BRG. Car was in such good condition that despite its age and mileage...

Looking at the diagram Dave posted, looks like No. 10 is rear NS outer.

If you think owning an MB is an invitation to have your wallet raped, just think what damage a Labour government would do to it!! Not saying the Conservatives are much better these days, but for decades I have described Labour as the politics of jealousy!! However, I do not want to start a...

This GDPR BS from dealers is precisely that - BS. When I bought my (second user) S203 I already had a service invoice from the MB dealer containing the owner's details, but the dealer played Silly B's about supplying further service invoices and eventually did, but with the owners details cut...

My bitch is the height of headlights on SUV's compared to the rear window and rear view mirror on "normal" cars (my S204 for example). Soon as they're behind you, quite possibly doing their normal crawl up the tailpipe trick, their lights are so high they are straight into my rear view mirror...

Hartech have been playing with Porsche engines since way before the Boxster etc that is now their main business, they used to do lots for FE Porsches of the 1980's and 90's - 924/8, 944 and 968.

JBell has flagged my comment - you can't afford to get an S65/3, can afford to maintain 3 high spec MB's but are prepared to take on the maintenance costs of a Bently!! Helen, you need a reality check - but with your background would it work??:eek::eek:

No, let Helen reply, maybe I could sneak it past management replacing my SLK280 - I tried when looking to replace the 968 cab, but as soon as I mentioned the power of the 55 it was MIL diet and total ban!!
