    s203 c220cdi Header Tank replacement... what hose clip pliers do I need?

    My trusty c220cdi auto has over 280,0000 on the clock so I shouldn't be too surpised or grumble that the header tank has sprung a leak and needs replacing. Any suggestions as to the hose clip and pliers type I'll need to wrangle it off?

    W221 airconditioning compressor replacement with newer type unit

    Hi I am wondering if its possible to fit the new late 2008 type compressor onto a 2007 model S500. My local guy says yes but I know the clutch is different. I also remember when you carry out the telematic update you have to tick which type of compressor is installed. Anyone have this issue?
