Hi- Just wondered if there are any Merc mechanics on, I need to replace the fuel tank in a 98 E240 Est. petrol. Does the saloon tank fit? can I use a CDI tank (with mods?) any assistance would be welcome

Very interesting- Thanks

You need to drop to the next diameter down to get that rim effect. eg- a 17" tyre on a 18" rim. I saw it being done for BBS alloys in my local tyre place recently. So no- not legal!

I was looking for you- it was back when you were selling the loom, I came over to your house!

Hi- Tried cleaning the PTU loom connectors with a fine file, closed them over a little to ensure better clamping/contact and nothing. Though now getting a code 55! I raked through old threads on here and took up the suggestion of AndyP - try cleaning with alloy wheel cleaner, tried it, with a fine paintbrush and - Bingo!.... one running engine! Thanks for your help

Tyre size calculator compare your current size with your planned upgrade size http://www.alloywheels.com/tyrecalc.asp

What is fouling what, plugs? or something rubbing on something else? How would it increase BHP?

Place called "Reco-prop" in Luton. Not on your doorstep I know, but nearer you than me! They make them , balance them, shorten them, custom builds etc etc.

Thanks mate, I'll check it.

Help- I have a non starter. Getting code 21. Getting fuel. CAS OK injectors working. No spark. PTU fine (s2 and spare s2) It was starting first turn every time, then went to it yesterday and no go- was very low on fuel tried to fire a few times but no start. Put some fuel in it and no start, not even trying to fire. Any advice would be very welcome

The fuel all comes from the same refineries, depending on geographical location. I used to work at BP refinery in Grangemouth and was amazed when I first saw all the different trucks in the tanker terminal. BP, Shell, Esso, Q8, Thames, Phillips etc. It was around the time that Shell launched the disasterous "Formula Shell", when I asked how Formula Shell could come from the same tank as Esso etc, the guys told me that the Formula Shell "special Mix" was added after loading by the tanker driver!!

Red hot poker in the Ar*e............ ouch

Tesco Super is 99 Octane, I think V power is now the same but when it was first introduced it was 98.

Thanks for this info mate, Is there enough access etc to get in and do a decent job?

Can anyone help- Is there a seat belt mount on the B pillar of a s1 SWB? I want to put s2 trim in my s1 and remove the belts from the doors.

It all depends on how good the weld is. *Is it alloy or cast iron? *has it been machined or ground back? *does the weld look like chewing gum or like it was welded with some level of skill? *was it welded recently? *did you get them for a song, if so it might be worth keeping them anyway and having a pro check out the weld or bring it up to a satisfactory standard Have someone who knows what they are talking about to look at it for an opinion. If you are not sure/ unhappy, then reject it on the basis of safety/ not as described. If you file a complaint with paypal and the seller has money in his paypal account, they will freeze the amount in dispute until it is resolved

Pity Nissan didn't fit that in the first place!

Hi- are the handbrake cables the same on LWB and SWB Zeds?

MICKMCL007 are you there?

Hi- Do you still have the spare loom?

Curiosity really, I just want to compare the dia of the outlet on the tubs fitted to my car, just as an additional piece of the puzzle in trying to identify these.
