    R231 / SL owners - where are you getting your wiper blades from?

    When I bought my car (from new) I suspected that the blades would be expensive (and they are!) but mine have lasted 5 years (20,000 miles) and are still OK, so per annum not so much of a problem. I think MBdealer is the best place to get replacements, possibly witha discount

    Nappa leather

    They weren't that cheap either. Top of the range m&s. Most jeans manufacturers recommend washing before wearing. I thought I had but apparently not enough. Just be careful of dye and of course any studs on pockets
