I think the general rule with these cars is that if you're having welding done, remove all the the electronic bits first. If that means flat-bedding it to your body work place, so be it. It'll be a...

Got there in the end! Chasing through the slotted nuts with a tap meant they spun down the Koni damper smoothly, all tightened up last night and wheels back on. MB back on the road!

Just need to...

I agree – and as I will be the next guy I decided not to give future-me a hard time. Also I'd hate to be that 'PO' bodger.

All the new tools have all arrived including the elusive 2069A, which was joy to use after the shenanigans undoing the nuts on the O/S damper. I didn't follow Phil Payne's advice about obtaining a...

I don't own an impact wrench (yet) but I think in this case it would have been defeated by the damper piston/rod where it's been knurled over the nut by whoever bodged it last time. Good tool to have...

I must admit, not being able to obtain a spare part as simple as a road spring is starting to put me off these cars, much as I love them. Basically you need the car, and a shed full of replacement...

Broken road spring

Immediately I've got the Quattro running nicely again and a working radio/cassette player, and 'pa-clunk' –*the front O/S spring snaps. Great. First time I've ever had a spring break on any car...

Just to round this one out, I bought the car out after a couple of months, hoping the WOT stumble would have miraculously cured itself. Of course it had not. So anyway back to basics with a visual...

Last month, after a couple of months not being driven I took the MB out for a spin and found that when I opened it right up it stumbled and misfired pretty badly – pops and bangs etc. Hmmm, I...

Ok thanks. I think the first thing to do is measure the slave rod, then go from there. Pointless trying to adjust that out if it's wrong.

So we're talking about 857 721 501? Which if my thinking is correct should be wound 'in' to make it shorter, and so extend the travel of the lever?

Sometime I wish I'd stuck to Triumphs :(
