I need to renew the rubber boots on the CV joints on the rear axle of
my 1982 300 TDT.  Do I have to completely remove the rear axle?
If not, is there a way to do it leaving the coil springs and struts in
place?

I post this in case it's useful for anyone else with this problem. I
posted earlier about the ring gear slipping on the flywheel to which
it is attached by friction fit.
The ring gear was not cracked or damaged in any way. So, usually this

I need to replace all 4 tires on my 2003 ML350.  I currently have the

On my 84 300D, I have fabric hoses running from the main fuel filter,
to the first injector, then out the other side of the injector to the
next one and so on to the last one, and then its plugged at the end.

I have a 560SL that is making a strange noise whenever one changes
directions, either forward to reverse or reverse to forward and

Hello everyone....ive been on this board before and have had great help
from you guys.  I have a2002 E320, but recently purchased a 1990 300SEL
with 110,000 miles on it...it was a one owner and the woman who owned had
a complete head job done last year...I am pleased with it so far.

my car performs perfectly except for when I drive it from a cold start
the transmission changes seem delayed and are certainly harsh. After
about 5 minutes of running the changes settle down and are good. All

Currently experiencing slight loss in power, fuel efficiency seems down and
temperature is running substantially higher than what was normal a few

Hi there, how are you doing?
My wife and I have a 2005 MB C230 and recently the plastic handle on
the door (on the driver side) was broken (almost fell off), so we sent
the car into the dealership for repair as it's still under warranty.

I have the WIS software installed on my computer, and it works fine.
My question is, I remember reading about someone having some kind of a menu
program or interface that made this software easier to use.
Is this the case? or was I just imagining things?
