    Brake Booster Recall

    My ML420 departed on the back of a trailer today; according to my dealer, I'll be lucky to see it back by the end of September. At £30/day compensation from the date they diagnosed it as needing replacement, that's over £3.5k. I could have taken £40/day if I was hiring a car and providing...

    ICarSoft MB II or 2.0

    I specifically wanted to remain offline (I use it primarily on smart cars for key reprogramming and reteaching the clutch bite point after a service), so bought the C4 version of the multiplexer with 11/2012 software from a company called mbstartools.com in China. This was based on another...

    ICarSoft MB II or 2.0

    I also have one that is surplus to requirements (as I have a full Xentry set).

    Wanted - Brabus PowerXtra D8 kit

    Probably a long shot having missed one that was for sale earlier in the year... If anyone happens to have one of these sitting in the back of the garage or on a car that they are trading in and would like to make a few extra quid from, please get in touch. Fingers crossed!

    W212 E Class ride

    On 16" rims it should be very forgiving - I didn't like the steel sprung 212 sport ride at all, but airmatic suspension makes a big improvement.

    Thanks Charles - I drink black Americano so will make mine first :)

    Which dealers/groups offering labour discount on servicing for older cars?

    Purslow offer 40% off over 6 years old and 60% off over 8 years old - Indy for pre service / routine parts replacement, main dealer for basic service / mobilo cover works for me (the free loan car able to take our entire family throughout Europe is invaluable for me having now used it twice).

    DeLonghi Bean to Cup Coffee Machine Reliability?

    The Miele also made tepid Latte (an important one to get right as it's my Wife's drink of choice), so having read loads of reviews a Jura Impressa S9 One Touch Black will be on the worktop later this week. This one promises adjustable milk heat (and dispense duration) amongst other things, so...

    DeLonghi Bean to Cup Coffee Machine Reliability?

    I bought a Miele CM6300 on the 30th Dec - a significant investment at £1,300 - and it went pop yesterday after just 18 coffees :-( They are wanting to repair on a return to base service (Miele usually come to your house) so they can have it back for a full refund and I'll buy something else. I...

    New GL350.

    The best feature on my 212 - it's brilliant on unlit roads!

    brabus ds6

    My 212 seemingly gives 276.2bhp stock according to Surrey Rolling Road, so you might find the gains are not what you expect. I do like the Brabus D6 tuning box however as my 211 has one. Would be good to hear how you get on.

    Wanted: W164 ML 420 CDI or X164 GL 420 CDI

    For that money Lee, you should be able to get low(ish) miles and a great spec. As it's approaching 31st Dec, I'd bet that even MB dealer stock several '000's over that price can be snapped up within your budget for a transaction pre year-end. Happy hunting :-)

    New GL350.

    We've done some big trips 5-up plus holiday luggage in ours this year and the GL's are good places to be when you have lots of miles to cover with a family in tow.

    RR Sport TDV8 vs ML V8 CDi

    The 420CDI engine is very refined, quiet and pulls like a train (even in our GL). Driven gently, it can get past 30mpg, but early 20's is more like it. It also likes to rev - whereas the 3.0V6 changes up at 4k or thereabouts, the 4.0V8 buzzes round to 4,400 with ease and by which time you are...

    whereabouts at Christmas/ New Year.

    Snap (this year)! I have previously flown into Singapore on Christmas Day and immigration were super polite, wishing me a happy Christmas whilst stamping my passport. It was also the cleanest airport I have ever passed through.

    First impressions of the Weistec / MSL C63 Monster

    Tempted John? Wouldn't need a bi-turbo for a long time (if ever) following this upgrade... Present from Santa to yourself :-)

    Winter tyres on a 2013 E63 AMG

    Just a quick update here from the cold snap of the last couple of days - the Pirelli's do feel more confidence inspiring on turn-in and more generally in the damp conditions; whilst an expensive tyre, I'm glad I bought them.
