    Clean wheels and stick-on weights

    Ask and ye shall receive!!! Note the foam (some coloured white) in several postions. Because the wheels don't have a lip around the rim (front or back), the stick-on weights must be used. They're stuck on just behind the spokes and around the extreme inside of the rim. Front and back weights...

    Help - W140 Battery

    We had a sequence that took into account the airbags that were newly introduced... And you also may need to consider radio codes and whether you have access to them and if they're current (if the radio's been replaced). BTW when jump starting always connect the negative terminals last. I...

    Help - W140 Battery

    I concur!! If the battery was ok it's highly likely it'll recharge. I do like the Century and Yuasa batteries and I found Battery World the cheapest and Burson and Autobarn the dearest. However if you know the model you need it does pay to shop around, as they sometimes have specials. I...

    Fuel system repairs

    I can definitely recommend Ken Airs for changeover, reconditioning, or repairs to fuel distributors, warm up regs and injectors etc. From memory they can even supply Bosch parts (choke slides, fuel pumps etc) far cheaper than genuine items. You may need to supply the part number to ensure you...

    Tyre width vs grip

    With the discussion that started under the Red Bull thread, I thought I should create one on the subject that's been raised. Apparently grip vs width behaves in an inverse curve and I'm trying to determine the peak of the curve depending on weight and pressure.... This thread on another forum...

    Red Bull (5541)

    I guess there's so many variables that it'd be hard to determine. In any case where you exceed the tyre's ability to get rid of the water, she'll do a Layne Beachley and off into the scrub you'll go!!! There's a formula in this thread, but I haven't digested it yet and worked out it's...

    Clean wheels and stick-on weights

    I've cleaned late-ish MB wheels recently (E320) and found the stick-on wheel weights to be extremely frustrating and time consuming to remove. The lead (?) weights are stuck on with foam which is coated with adhesive on both sides. The only way to remove the weights without wheel damage is by...
