  1. I've never had that happen, however I have received emails promising to double-check my purchase, which I've either disregarded or instructed them to fulfill as is. Or, if they continue to complain, I just threaten to cancel the whole purchase. A UK provider would have been preferable, but places like Eurocarparts and GSF don't have as many options, and many parts aren't 'on the shelf,' so they're both slower and more expensive than Autodoc.
  2. From my experience, Autodoc does not promote any one brand. They carry all the brands you've mentioned and more; I've used the ones you've mentioned above on many cars over the course of 15 years. include Ridex, Febi-Bilstein, TRW, and others It doesn't take a genius to realize you shouldn't go with an unknown brand. Unchecking "safe order" may help facilitate a return, but it is not necessary. My 116i's O2 sensor and oil filter were broken in transit, and I learned this the hard way. I was prepared for a no-questions-asked refund, but when they asked for photographs of the components, I had to let them know how I felt about their "safe buy."
  3. Get the best deals on auto parts by entering your registration number at buycarparts.co.uk. I've been working with Autodoc, a reputable German firm, for quite some time. With a large selection of vendors, and free delivery on purchases above £150, the only downside is the shipment time.
  4. An invaluable resource is the Lucas 400e Master Parts Catalog. The years 1959 and 1960 AH 3000 are covered. Tybalt says the Lucas Service Catalog 220/2 is the correct one, so I'm guessing that's what we'll need. Is this document being scanned?
  5. If you are unable to upload it, could you kindly email it to me? [email protected] much obliged
  6. I get that, and I promise to look for one. Have you ever considered using a catalog scanner?
  7. I appreciate you sharing this data with me.
  8. This is exactly what I need. I am the proud owner of HBJ8L25.321, the seventh MK III produced that November of 1963. Since BMC destocked without a clear date for the model change, I require both catalogs, the earlier one and the latter one. It may seem insane, but I have to go through this every time I get auto components since my vehicle is quite original. If you happen to come across any of your catalogues, I would very much appreciate it. kind regards
  9. Howdy, Men! I need to find a Lucas parts list. I was wondering if anybody has a copy that they could share. If an electronic version is not offered, a paper copy would also be of interest to me. All my best
  10. These have reliable performance in the rain. When they wear out, I plan to replace them on my E53.
  11. I was dismayed that they wore out so fast since they were excellent and we had them on all of our vehicles, including my wife's prior Q7. There's really nothing I can do.
  12. After just 8 months and 4,000 miles, I had to change the tires on my wife's XC90. I feel confident saying that Rainsport 5 tyres are not a good choice for an SUV.
  13. The signage are an unnecessary extravagance in my opinion. Is there anybody who can change my mind?
  14. You may get rid of the belt by spraying it with wd40.
  15. Thanks! I tracked down a man from TM Motors who fixed the issue in 30 minutes.I spent £660 at Mercedes Slough last week and got nothing in return; they need two weeks to investigate how to install my water pump, my engine fan is spinning wildly, and they want another £500 to set up my command system. Benz drivers at Slough and Heathrow should be avoided; they're worthless.
  16. Is there anybody who knows how to fix the ntg 5.5 firmware? Every time I take my vehicle in for service, the dealership wrecks it.I refuse to even consider it... Heathrow... Slow.... awful service....
  17. Hello there, I've had two different C207s and have been incredibly happy with both of them. A buddy of mine who has a pretty fantastic connection with his local dealer was thinking about switching from BMW, but ultimately decided against it. I cautioned him to hold his position, and he complied. According to the users of this community, the Mercedes dealership that I use has been fantastic, but it's unfortunate that other shops have not been up to the same standard.
  18. Howdy All, I am grateful that you have allowed me to come in. This is my first time using this website, and I must say that I am finding it a little bit challenging to navigate. I have attempted to post about an issue that I am having with my vehicle. I'm looking forward to hearing some responses. Wonderful to be amongst such a community of other MB fans.
  19. I know I'm wrong, but they didn't do anything when I got a new tyre.
  20. Because the pressure is shown 'live,' there is no need for a reset device.
  21. I've been looking around for a new family car but haven't found much that I like. Requirements are: Hybrid or Petrol Good-sized trunk (more than 550L) 5 door Isofix 0-62mph <10s Parking sensors Not very long (about 4.7m). Nice interior A quiet and smooth ride <£40k Android Auto Reliable (maybe hybrids have more things that can go wrong?) I drive about 9,000 miles a year, which is mostly a mix of small trips on the highway and around town, as well as longer trips and vacations. Because of the outbreak, the current numbers aren't as high as they could be. Content to wait The Toyota Corolla Touring Sports Icon Tech 2.0 might work, but I don't know much about them. Skoda Octavia Estate is another option, but we're moving towards the Toyota because we'll use it for some short trips and like the idea of a hybrid (plug-in hybrids or full electrics aren't really an option because our garage/parking space isn't right next to our house). Has anyone tried out the new Corolla Estate?
  22. Features photographs from the Arctic showing a variety of items that may be used and advise from experienced users; it also includes a link to a technique given by a user who is no longer active but provides the best way to achieve this. Nonetheless, how long is a piece of string?
  23. Thank you everybody for your prompt responses! When'me lad' picked it up, it went aground on a minor bump in the road and had to be lifted off by six big firefighters from a neighbouring station. On examination, the ground clearance was about 2". We gradually increased it to around 4, but it still grinds on speed bumps. It reminds me of a worm-infested dog! Even at the danger of huge holes beneath the arches, it seems that another inch is in order. Should I try Mr Bell's wedges as well? This solves the Christmas gift dilemma. Apart than needing to remove my left leg when cruising, it's a fantastic drive. It reminds me of the Ford-powered Morgan I had in my childhood, which I thought was the best thing ever but was really a technical nightmare! However, if I push my right buttock to the starboard side, I can just fit my port knee between the wheel and the dash support! OK, till we need to shift direction!
