removing O2 sensors
yes mate, zeds parked round the back - wont fit between the posts they put up the slip road to stop the pikeys parking caravans up there!! :rofl: got an O2 sensor socket too, pick it up anytime mate :) it can cause hesitation, not normally a dramatic loss of power at full throttle as the ECU will come out of closed loop mode. you can do an O2 test without a Consult on the diagnostic light to see if they are switching

New Digital Camera Wanted
iv got an Olympus 4.0mp camera which i bought a few years back with a fantastic 10x optical zoom lens, picture quality is superb. whatever you choose dont get drawn into a high pixel count camera which compromises on lens quality! :)

What suspension parts should I replace
have you got adjustable front tension rods too? essential with roller bearing upper arms to prevent lateral movement. uprated front & rear antiroll bars are meant to be a very good upgrade, i believe the Stillen ones are very good. poly bushing the remaining front & rear bushes will also help

NZR - Merc SLK help
well if the garage has access to a scope with the right pickup then anyone could diagnose it! merc diagnostic does make it easier as it may have fault codes listed & also has a smooth running fault counter to detect misfires! ;)

ECU tuning software
old school bud, old school! ;) :D
-
NZR - Merc SLK help
yea! been looking at them myself!! :D pretty good cars all in all! only prob is the same as the SLK's, they have the same steering box & front upper & lower wishbone suspension that never feels quite as positive as later mercs that use racks & mcpherson struts :) good well built cars tho, better build quality than the early new shape ones!

ECU tuning software

NZR - Merc SLK help
they are a much better car, suspension feels a little tighter than the 230K's. however a new shape 350 is even better! (or better still a new 55AMG :hyper: ) let me know if you are around the canterbury area, will always plug it in for a diagnostic for you mate :)
