I just noticed that I need to get to 30 posts before I can use the private message facility - as a member may wish to PM me instead of responding to the public thread, I will follow up with two other posts - please forgive these!

Hello all, I own a clothing brand based in London for which I am arranging a photo shoot on Friday 3 April. A reference theme of the shoot is the movie American Gigolo which featured the 450 prominently. I wondered if any member would be interested in loaning a car for day? I would pay all...

Interesting reading, thanks.

On this point, I can find 2s for the rear with a load index of 103 (=875kgs) and 3s for the front with a load index of 99 (=775kgs). The manual has a page for "Mixed Tyres" and "AMG equipment". Under 'mixed', the requirements are 99 front, 103 rear but marked "MOExtended". I assume I don't...

Interesting - I will make sure I check that point before buying.

Thanks for replies - very helpful.

Hi all. I need to replace tyres on 2007 W216 CL600. From reviews it seems that Goodyear Asymmetric 2s or 3s are a good option as seem to be quiet with decent fuel economy plus performance. Problem is that I can't get a full set of either on the car as they don't make all sizes* so I can go for...

Hi. The thought didn't occur to ask for help - perhaps that's Central London disease (where I live) where people tend to mind their own business for better or worse! Let me see what the dealer quotes and I will reach out if it is on the high side. Thanks for the offer of help, much appreciated.

Hi. You're correct, I just checked the handbook. I had thought distronic plus was located at top of front windscreen but that is the night view assist only. I will see what the dealer says and report back. Thanks.

Thanks - looks similar although there is no open space in the star in which to put your hands to get a grip before unscrewing it. Anyway, does look the most simple of jobs and I will ask them for part only if they want to charge labour on top unless they can justify its more than a...

Hi all, The Mercedes emblem on the grill of my W216 needs to be replaced as it become fogged up or otherwise very scruffy. I am due a service shortly and my local MB garage has the part in stock. They said by phone that they would charge labour of "up to one hour" although "it wouldn't likely...

Please add my name to the list. Own a 2007 CL600.

Thanks for the tips, very helpful. Yes, loving the V12. I had planned to buy the CL500 and test drove one through a private dealer...but on discussing the CL in general he slightly slipped by saying "that having driven the 500, 63, and 600, that the 600 is the one to go for" so I waited until I...

Just by way of follow up I called MB to see if I could get a better deal on 12 months Tier 1 warranty - they offered me £880 with not much pushing - a far better deal than the online offer of £1,420 which just goes to show it is always worth calling. As a result, I purchased the cover. Thanks...

Thanks for the responses. I have not sought quotes from non-MB providers. A quick scan of Trustpilot shows some pretty unhappy customers of both companies mentioned (and the positive reviews seem to follow a template if you know what I mean), of course this could be skewed as happy customers are...

Hi all, I have a 2007 CL600 which I bought last July. I bought with c35k miles on it and it now has 40k miles. I bought from a MB dealer so got the usual UsedApproved 12 month warranty. Since that time, I have got a major service (spark plugs changed etc). In my time of ownership it has been...

Hello all. I bought a 2007 CL600 in July of this year from a main dealer with 12 month used approved warranty. Had about 36k miles and now has 38k. I believe it had its last service in Oct/Nov 2014 and may be due a service next month as a result (although I have seen online that MB recommend...
