There was a post on the MBCA forums recently complaining about a torn seam in a
2010 C- class driver's seat. The current interiors will never match the older
cars in durability. I did a quality comparison some months ago of MB vs BMW
interiors- basically I was dealer hopping. The BMW interiors

If you want to spray it, there's a kit with a pressurized can of air and
small glass jar to hold the paint - thekit is only around $6 or $7 and

P-51 is a beautiful aircraft, and was the first production aircraft
with laminar flow airfoil wings. Aside from the vulnerability of
the water cooled engine, it had a bad habit of snapping off wings
when the pilot went into a high speed dive. There is a book out by a
pilot who flew them.
I am no expert but a quick googlie suggests it could be the linkage
(loose), B3 piston (replaceable), reverse band (if it has that)
adjustment, or maybe try a fluid/filter change with some Mobil1
synthetic fluid and see what happens. Might be a fairly easy fix before
writing it off.

Just a reminder that if your floor shifter is not crisp and precise,
you need to replace the bushings on the shift linkages under the car.
For older (pre-123) floor shifts, there is also a nylon ball in the

Huh? I think there are enough carry over exterior design elements on the
W220 (especially before the redesign), that it is still recognizable as
a Mercedes. The same person that designed your W124, oversaw the design
of the W220 after all (yes, Bruno Sacco).
Prefer the early W220 myself
Didn't even think about that till you mentioned it. Then I looked
in the manual. That sounds like a fun part to replace. Hope it
isn't that.

Yes there are detailed instructions in the ATE box that come with pads.
It is about transferring some material from the pad to the rotor and to

This is about moisture condensing on the outside of the glass, due to
cold air from AC coming up through the defrost vents.
This is why I feel manual controls are best for auto HVAC systems. The

Yep, the A/C removes moisture from the INSIDE air, but that cold, dry air
