    Smelly a/c

    There is a class action against MB in the US for smelly aircon. Doesn't unfortunately help us on this side of the world. I had the problem as well and had it professionally cleaned.

    E350 money sink

    I had one of those for 9 years (albeit in Sports trim) and cannot recollect spending anything on it beyond service costs and a replacement battery. Rear suspension was beginning to drop randomly overnight but indie was unable to diagnose the fault since it didn't happen all the time but I px'ed...

    My 'cheap' High Mileage W211 E55 AMG Project

    Million dollar question is .....how 'cheap' is cheap?! Prices for all the bits but, unless I missed it, not for the actual car. Just curious 🙂

    E63 AMGS Engine Seizure

    Firstly, just to empathise with the situation you find yourself in. Got to be the most bad luck as why would the oil just be discarded from a relatively new and properly serviced car. As you say - dealer has already shown their extreme disinterest and in your shoes, I would bite the bullet and...

    Does E63 have active bonnet system as standard?

    From a US forum - seems to suggest that it's not that uncommon and with pointers towards fixing it.

    Apologies, VIN info

    Well this web page seems to imply that you can't actually get the build date from the VIN and that would likely need to go through a dealer.

    Replacement Front Grill

    Below is what you are looking for. Assuming that's an OEM grille (btw - they call it a 'grill' as well in the video 🙂 ) then look like a bumper swap is also required which would make it a very pricey mod especially when you factor in paint work. As said readily available on the continent...

    W212 E63 AMG Servicing

    As you point out, FMBSH does not mean that everything was done. Issue is, even when 'added extras' as you put it have actually been done, these do not always get added to the electronic service history by the garage.

    Anyone seen any good number plates on cars lately?

    DAR 7H on a black and very stealthy looking G63 Wagon.

    Service History Issues

    As said - transaction done as a distance sale due to lockdown. So on request, I received an email detailing the date, mileage and servicing dealer but then strangely absent from the DSB. I am guessing that they maybe have an alternative method of looking this up - when retrospectively added...

    Service History Issues

    Fine if that's your own tact, but having asked the question, I didn't think it necessitated getting the dealer to place his hand on a copy of the Holy Bible!

    Service History Issues

    I bought my car as a distance sale during lockdown. MB Approved Used with a lot of information exchanged via email including the list of previous services, servicing dealer and mileages. So details just listed in an email. At the next service I duly asked for a print out from which two sets...

    Service History Issues

    Bear in mind that digital service information can get 'lost' as well as is reliant on servicing dealer actually updating the history.

    New C63 AMG Autocar Review

    Conversely - who needs 671 bhp on tap when you rarely get the chance to use it? Betting that the vast majority of likely purchasers won't find this a limitation and will be more interested in the badge, what it costs a month and how to plug in their iPhone. As this is an enthusiasts forum, it...

    Old version steering wheel swap

    That particular video doesn't granted - but there are others that do (just search). Point I am making is, it's not a difficult swap.

    Lots of videos on youtube that make it seem easy. Just one for example.

    Car Cover For S205

    I don't agree with this I'm afraid. Typically you can buy outdoor covers for top marques, e.g. a Ferrari, which you so obviously would not want to scratch. I've previously used an outdoor cover to good effect and superior ones definitely won't be made of plastic and will likely set you back...
