    W211 e320 alternator driving me nuts

    Already checked both mate, both are at good levels. It's very intermittent, I've got a bcm and a k57 relay coming. Going to try that and see if that does it. The fact that I've got correct charging voltage at the batteries is what's confusing me.

    W211 rear airbag/spring purchase help.

    That's exactly what I thought. It's on the aerosus website that states the c/s button alters things. Not me.

    W211 rear airbag/spring purchase help.

    That's what I'm trying to find out, does my car have ADS? Aerosus say if you have the c/s (which I have) button then you do, however I cannot find anyone else who agrees. So if I buy Aerosus (which is likely) then do I buy ADS or not? The reason I want Aerosus is I can buy direct rather than an...

    W211 rear airbag/spring purchase help.

    When I say self levelling I mean no airmatic. On the aerosus website it says there's a difference if you have the c's button by the gearstick. Arnott have no mention of this. Arnott also say must replace in pairs whereas aerosus do not mention this. This is my reason for being confused.

    W211 E320 fuel return pipe.....

    Cheers for that, my repair with cable ties has held up well so far, I am going to purchase some new pipe though from the seller you linked. I don't think I need the complete kit just some new hose should do. Cheers

    W211 E320 fuel return pipe.....

    Can anyone point in the right direction to sort my fuel return pipe, it's leaking at several of the joints with the T pieces. Can I just replace the pipes or do I need a whole new set of 6? I've done a temp fix with cable ties but need something more permanent. TIA

    E320 stripped injector thread clamp

    Job is now completed guys so thanks for the help. I did run into a few problems though, the helicoil kit just isn't quite long enough neither the drill or the tap which made the job very awkward. I had a hunt round and foumd a kit made by Laser specifically for Mercedes Benz CDI engines, I...

    E320 stripped injector thread clamp

    Thanks for the prompt reply. My query now is the length of the helicoils I've been looking at all seem quite short compared to the monster bolt that goes in there. I've seen a few small kits on Ebay that are for M8. Like this...

    E320 stripped injector thread clamp

    As the title guys, it's done my nut in today. What are the best options? I've read old threads saying helicoil and some say just use a a new m8 bolt and tap a new thread. Just not sure which way to go as most forums threads I read end up arguing. If anyone has any input it will be much...
