I have a set of these. They are in the roofspace of the garage, but if you give me a day or so, I’ll lift them down to make sure everything is there. D

Just saw this. NMG in Dunmurry has looked after all my Mercs over the years and has done the same for several chums. He is an AMG mechanic and genuinely knows his stuff. Even better, he is very fair on price and will never overcharge. In fact, I have had to make him take more than he asked on...

A quick update for those who have asked. The car now has a fresh MOT. I really need this gone, as I have another car incoming and simply will not have the space. Therefore, price reduction to £7995. D

This is a very honest example of a two owner from new, CLK55. Major Service carried out just before going into dry storage in a heated garage 3 years ago. The service included 16 new spark plugs, all fluids, ATF replaced in the gear box. New tyres and alignment and a brand new battery...

Bit sad, but this is what I use... Makita UB1103/2 240 V Blower D

If you need local help, Neil in NMG at Derriaghy is your man. He is a Merc specialist and a super guy to boot. Oh and welcome. D

Hi all After much discussion with my much better half, I have decided to change the SL. Went out for a run earlier in the week and a piece of road debris cracked the driver’s side headlight lens. Wonderful! I priced the part with MB and it’s coming in at around £1200. It’s the ILS system I...

I use Qobuz and Tidal, both hi-Rez, controlled via Roon. I started off with Tidal and added Qobuz later. I find Tidal is much more orientated towards US music - R&B, rap and US rock, whereas Qobuz is extremely good for classical, folk and the less mainstream. Tidal also employs MQA for their...

I shall. Many thanks for your kind thoughts. D

Thanks JP. I spent some time trawling the owners forums and any issues were minor and infrequent. Of course, Lexus owners may not be inclined to complain as a rule! D

Just to round the thread off, I decided that if I were to buy a winter car, it should be jeep of some shape or form. Looked at several ML's in an attempt to keep it in the family. However, all I viewed went from leggy to dog-rough. Sooo.. I ended up buying a Lexus RX! FSH, all the conceivable...
