I have just been advised not to buy a Merci c280 2006 because of potential electrical and engine problems but the car looks good and I'd just have to change a few bits. Anyone driving this model?

earlier M272 engines of which the C280 belongs to were plagued with the deadly tumble flap failure which could be catastrophic. some also had the balance shaft palava. The RWD early model facelift C230 v6 and C280 which had the 722:9 7G-tronic transmission were prone to VGS malfunction which could entail transmission malfunctions.

rather than do a C280 or C230 v6 which had the tumble flap palava and the VGS malfuntions, I'd advice you go for a C230 kompressor sports or c240 with the 722:6 5G-tronic transmission.

It's no Biggie. A common problem on the V6 engine from the M112... Is yours broken.... Anyway it will require a lot of care so that dirt doesn't get inside the cylinder...

W164 ML350 didn't use M112 they used the M272 engine pls. as for the tumble flap I'd advice you replace the intake manifold but if you can rebuild the tumble flap with more studier material, you're good to go.

Thanks... Can you estimate a three bedroom apartment costs comparison between the mortar bricks and burnt bricks

I can't for now cos I don't know where burnt bricks are sold in uyo

weyreypey:
Is there anyone here who can help with the comparison of red bricks and cement bricks for residential building construction.... Thanks in advance.

1. Red burnt bricks have been subjected to high thermal treatment and thus are stronger than sandcrete blocks,
2. they're hollow meaning they're lighter and also they don't easily crack as the sandcrete blocks easily do.
3. They also have good thermal control due to the hollow in them and the materials they're made from.
4. They don't typically require plastering over them as they're easily used in their exposed form for aesthetics purpose.
5. They're cheaper to produce and do not need much mortar compared to sandcrete blocks which requires much quantity of mortar and also plaster.

Please I need part for my lexus es350 2008, center dashboard ac vent
Can you recommend any dealer

Go Ladipo and enter any shop. Ask the seller for people who sell dashboard. He'll direct you.

You love this car. I know you do. It could be yours if you take the right step.

Slowly but surely, you're killing yourself. Better stop that evil lifestyle. Even after the 6th day, God rested.
