Part numbers on the ballasts need to match, I fitted a new ballast to one side of my cayenne turbo and had the same fault, lots of researching all pointed at the same problem that you need matching part numbers and to replace ballasts in pairs. I was thinking of you when I wrote it ! Have you still...

So the electrics are fucked then Fair play to the seller, I got a very quick reply: One says front light is not working but it is. The other one is linked to air suspension sensor but again nothing is wrong. All been checked out and diagnosed by Graham reader garage and it’s just went through it’s ...

First gen c class Mercs used to be cheap to insure for young drivers, but I don’t know how it is these days. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202402266967781 £6200 on the Merc! It seems the loop holes are being closed off and nothing is immune to scalping now. Try a newer model like the w204...

Side note, NFU wouldn’t insure me on an E63 due to no relevant experience. It’s an odd world insurance.

I’m more surprised that it’s a sensible quote with the NFU who I can only describe as the biggest thieves in the insurance industry :lol: That's not my experience or the experience of many of my rural clients! Took two weeks for the underwriters to review and agree it, i believe a lot has to do wit...

My 17 year old has a w204 C180 manual coupe. £800 a year to insure with NFU, I’m on the policy as well. Car was £5600 when I bought it but quite a few saloons/estates or ropey coupes available for £3k. Surprisingly cheap for what is a pretty nice car. is that as a learner or passed? Currently learn...

Cosworth did the engine work on the 2.3 but I seem to recall that the 2.5 was more an in house development than a job farmed out. AMG introduced a power pack for the 2.5-16 engine in evo 1 and 2 forms. It’s unlikely that both Cosworth & AMG were working on the 2.5. The 2.3’d revved much harder t...

Incredibly sad news, RIP.

Maybe it’s just East Anglia but I really don’t understand car companies at the minute. 3 alloy wheel places cannot deal with any corrosion, says that it will never be flat and I say well fill any corrosion as I had done years ago on some MI16 rims. Can’t be done apparently and they must be powder c...

Thankyou Dave Flew very much

Dave!

Looks great, Dave does brilliant work.

8-) Getting there https://www.dropbox.com/s/21f03b1x6twhe4o/Photo%2021-10-2021%2C%2018%2032%2016.jpg?raw=1 https://www.dropbox.com/s/85l4pxtaq4eakim/Photo%2021-10-2021%2C%2018%2032%2001.jpg?raw=1 A little lower than standard so I’m really pleased with the ride height. When it gets the respray I’m g...

Give Dave a bell as he had a website which ended up having loads of fastenings and clips etc which saved a fortune. It’s always worth checking with the dealer though as the pricing structure is so haphazard you get some real bargains. Dave! Think they fell out? Says who? I’ve spoken to Dave quite r...

https://i.imgur.com/bEfoYbT.jpg The rear of my car is stripped and everything’s getting attacked with the wire wheel, there was a couple of areas that I wasn’t expecting rot so that’s set me back a bit but hopefully can get repair panels for them, or look for a donor. Panel gaps on the front end ar...

Looks fantastic. What suspension components did you use? Genuine MB or lemforder / meyle etc. All the suspension arms were genuine, I think it was only the front subframe bushes that were pattern parts as the stiffer genuine ones weren’t available. They are stiffer ones from a 201 chassis car I bel...

What Harry said, only way to sort lacquer peel is to repaint the panel. It escalates quickly once you start picking the loose lacquer.

I may have turned my car into a fair weather toy 😂 Diff being rebuilt solely as it was looking crappy next to the rest of the underside. https://www.dropbox.com/s/qgb8pmwjj2es2gc/Photo%2026-08-2021%2C%2017%2004%2005.jpg?raw=1 Everything plated, powder coated, treated and painted where necessary. ht...

Is this one a keeper ?

Yeah it’s a car I’ve always wanted
