    I am quite calm, just wondering what this milk / juice business is all about?

    So long E63...

    I thought about taking it off to sell, best way would have been a direct whole diff swap with another car without opening the differential casings. But hassle with day off (unpaid), organising it all, risk of damage / problems with the car just before it goes back etc. All conspired to make it...

    I forgot to post... When BCA turned up on 19th Dec they said they were just doing the checks & logistics for MB, it was going to an MB dealer / depot on the Wirral, not to auction. I've looked on the MB used website and can't see it. If you're interested: Reg: LO63 ARU, registered Jan 2014...

    The M6 is awesome so far, I love it. Reviews rate it as a better drive than the F10 M5, and the lower c of g and seating position and incredible all-enveloping interior make it feel like a different car. Power delivery wise it should be the same as the F10. If you hated the F10, then it might...

    FS : Sprint Booster for AMG V8 5.5 TT

    As above, 1 year old, as new. With remote setting button on lead. Really makes the car feel much more lively compared with the standard L-O-N-G throw throttle pedal action. The setting button will run round to the side of the seat base, then you can select OFF, sport or race easily with your...

    Yes, it's a great car. I've looked after it meticulously and only ever hand washed it myself. And it has a quaife LSD that I fitted which is not worth removing.

    So long E63...

    It's not that I don't want to use it (and I did take it to the south of France last year) If I do any more miles in it the back tyres will be at 3mm and I'll get charged for new ones by MB. Also the front pads are down (but no light yet) and the B service light will be on if I'm not careful. I...

    Tried my best, but I don't commute in it. The excess charge is only 6.9p/mile which is ridiculously cheap. My next lease is on 8k per year, plenty for me.

Av 19 mpg over the term. 3rd rear tyres nearly at 3mm 2nd fronts at 4mm. One cracked front wheel. 10 litres of oil as "top ups". My first AMG. I've enjoyed...

    4.0 TT engine temps, high?

    Completely normal. ALL engine oils are designed to run at 100 deg C minimum (aldi or mobil1) to ensure moisture is boiled off and explelled as crankcase vapours. The summer grade is rated at 100degC too. I.e. the "40" bit of 10W/40 is rated at 100degC as that it the "standard" temp. My e63...

    Any alternative to tracker fitment?

    OK , OP has an AMG GT, different kettle of fish to our regular cooking amg's My 63 reg E63 is only £300 a year. I've got one accident and 6 points. It is oddly half the price of my previous 3yo BMW 335i worth 20 grand. The secret is to move out of our god forsaken **** hole, scum bag filled...

    Any alternative to tracker fitment?

    Agree, get a different insurer. I've had tracker requests before, but just went elsewhere for instance. As said gap insurance is cheap.

    Age of MB Drivers.....

    Defo an image problem for Mercedes. I'm 43 and friends take the piss out of me for having a "silvertop" car (old man's car). And mine's an E63!

    C63 Track day, gearbox oil being blown out

    OP, remember the oil temp gauge is engine oil, not gearbox oil, the two are not related, chances are on a track the gearbox oil is much more abnormal than the engine oil. Autos generate a lot of heat due to their inefficiency. Although my last BMW would limp at 137degc, but it ran at 110 to 115...
