Re: Changing the Battery in Your Starter

I was able to get someone to answer the phone at the parts department of my neighborhood MB dealership. From this morning on, every time I dial the number, it goes straight to voicemail, and nobody ever returns my call. They do have them, and they're only $20 more than the Interstate battery. I plan ...

Changing the Battery in Your Starter

Even though I started the car multiple times yesterday without any problems, I stepped outside to give it a go and got nothing. After plugging it into my Ctek charger, it reached the "7" mark and turned green, but it would not start. After placing the battery tester on it, the "REPLACE" lights ...

Re: Break Light for the R230

Some R230 owners are quite traditionalist and would never consider installing Chinese lights on their vehicle, while others have a different opinion. Not a problem. Actually, it's produced in Hungary. I made this discussion because I was hoping someone else might be interested in purchasing this ...

Re: Break Light for the R230

Buying an aftermarket one from China is risky since, after a month, part of the LEDs can stop functioning. Rest assured, I did not mount a brake light—of Chinese origin—on the trunk lid of my SL600. Genuine parts are being sold for a purpose. I too think it is complete bullshit, and I want to see a ...

Break Light for the R230

The "high mount stop light" is installed in the trunk lid. In addition to letting water in, a cracked one detracts from the otherwise flawless appearance of the vehicle, thus it's best to get a new one if yours is cracked. I bought three replacements (!!!) when mine cracked since I am a crazy car ...

Protectors for Your Seats

My ride is a Mercedes 560sl from 1987. However, the original seat coverings are beginning to split and break, otherwise it is in perfect shape. I would very appreciate any recommendations you have for new seat coverings, as well as options to avoid.

Re: Need help with core plugs?

It appears to be a 385 series engine, since it closely resembles a factory-installed F series 460. I can see no issues with the water pump location or the heads.

Re: Super Sport 2004 Ford Crown Victoria

It appears that my understanding of a FORD Forum was incorrect. For a Crown Vic query, which section is suitable?
