The 1999 280 SL's Power Steering Pipe

It sounds so simple when you put it that way! I will return to the garage to get it removed once I receive a response from Pirtek. -
The 1999 280 SL's Power Steering Pipe

I apologise if this is a really basic issue, but I'm not sure how to specify the hose and its fittings. Is the standard available someplace, or do they need to view the car—which is leaking terribly and I shouldn't be driving—? -
Hi This morning, I heard a terrible screech from the wheel. The power steering pipes—two sections—that connect the pump to the steering box and the one that attaches beneath the alternator were promptly identified by a local handyman as requiring replacement. Having severe leaks! I think the SL shop can assist with the metal one (A1294603324), but they don't have the rubber one (A1294662681), as far as I'm informed. Do you have any suggestions about where I should take this? I simply drive the dang thing; I simply do not possess the necessary technical knowledge or comprehension. Someone complimented the car's appearance only yesterday, and now I'm slightly freaking out. I am thankful.

Refresher on this subject. Ultimately, I decided not to purchase it. It turns out that one suspension airbag and compressor was changed last year, but the NSR bag wasn't. Perhaps an airline was involved; he did offer to take £250 off! The images were, shall we say, flattering, and it was down on its haunches at the NSR. With that in mind, I opted not to take a chance on it due to its bad state and the lack of proof of oil seals being done. To be honest, I couldn't see any indicators, but you can't get under them to inspect. I'm sure there will be others.

Thank goodness neither of them has made it to Devon just yet; luckily, I do have an A3 hybrid on hand just in case.

I just realised it was poor form to include this in my welcome message; I apologise. The purchase of a 2010 W212 E350CDI estate is almost complete. See the specification sheet down below. Because this is my first MB, I was wondering whether the specs were OK or if there was something plainly lacking. Looking over the several postings, it appears to have decent equipment.

I am pleased to incorporate petrol additives every few months, but I have never been inclined to use oil additives. I prefer to buy a quality oil, specifically Castrol Edge, and replace it every six months rather than invest in that additive. However, if you have already filled to the maximum oil capacity, you will exceed the limit by 0.3 litres.

Acquired it; authentic MB NOS. The solution is effective!

which ones should I choose? I hope for the best...

While the car's Bluetooth works well with phones, the prior owner used a device that plugs into the car's 12V socket to create an FM signal for the radio to stream music. Not a very refined answer, but it gets the job done. On the other hand... After stepping outside into the light, I can make out what appears to be a media interface connection in the glove compartment. It's tucked away in the dark, towards the back of the vehicle, towards the center, and pointing downwards, so I can't see the contacts inside. However, I am at a loss as to what else it may be. If that's the case, then I can connect my USB stick and the correct cord to the head unit and play my music (he said with a glimmer of optimism).

The glove box and armrest are empty. Indeed, it meets all requirements.

I recently acquired a 2010 A207 (technically an E class convertible, but it's actually a C class...) equipped with an Audio 20 that has an integrated CD changer. Additionally, it has the Universal Communications Interface (Option 518), as stated on the LastVin datacard. Does it only work with Bluetooth, or can I also use it to play music from an SD card or USB stick? If the latter, where can I find the appropriate connector? It's not here; I've searched everywhere.

Low rail pressure prevents the E90 N47 crank from starting.

I had never had DDE done before, but I merely saw an ad for it on eBay when I had CAS copied.
