choice

Hi All, For a little New Year diversion, how about browsing this German site of colour codes with images of vehicles, choosing a favourite colour and vehicle, and telling us your colour. Or is that all a bit Blue Peter? Anyway: http://www.oldtimer-farbtabelle.de/bilder.php?lng=de...

Hi Everyone, I’ve just sold a 210 Estate and with the proceeds I would like a W124 Coupe. I’m not especially interested in high power, but would prefer it given the choice between a 230 and a 300 for example, however, not at the expense of hassle. After having spent a few days digging...

Well the time has come for me to lower my car down as it doesnt look right sitting so high up. Ive been doing some searches around the forum on lowering W124s but they are all mostly coupe related. As mine is a saloon, im not sure whether the same applies to coupes and saloon or if they are...

I’ve got to either get my wheels refurbished or buy a new set. The trouble is I’m really drawn to deep dish alloys and don’t know if this is sad. I’ve had the original 18 amgs and 19 amg IVs (but did not like the ride) and now have 18 VIs (this sounds lot buut I have had the car 5 years) – but...

The boots on my E320 will soon need replacing. At present they are Conti Sport Contacts (245x45 17 IIRC). The thing is they are quite noisy. Would Michelin Pilot Sports (or whatever they call them these days be any quieter? My preferences are refinement and long life rather than outright grip...

I am looking to obtain a DSLR to take action shots of my wife horse jumping, sometimes in low light situations (indoor). Use of flash is out of the question as this could upset the horse. I am looking to get a good 2nd hand camera for around £200 and have been looking at the Canon 350D and...

Hi - after a major re-think I have decided to go for a CLK - facelifted model 06 onwards - what's the general concensus on the petrol 280, performance etc - any real faults ?? thanks Stuart

Hi all - just got new set of Mandrus Reganmeister 18 x 8.5 front 18 x 9.5 rear (Shame AMG haven't the good sense to make a set of 18's with the above sizes for W203). Will post some pics when the weather gets better. I have been offered an excellent price on 2 x 225/40/18 F and 2 x 255/35/18 R...

Hi guys, I've now picked up the 2.5-16 wheels from a full refurb. For those interested, they were done by our very own Andy (Stats007) of Amazing Alloys: www.amazing-alloys.com A fantastic job with great attention to detail, should be on the car for the GTG later in the month if anyone...

Hi all, I'm hoping someone can give me an idea on cost. We all dread the phone call from garage saying "here's what we've found you need to replace..." My first B service since buying my CLK320 in April 2007 is due soon. Mileage will be 93,000ish it is the 97-02 2002 model. I have begun...

Right, Friend of my wife has just come to the end of a messy, messy divorce. House is sold and she has moved into new gaff. Soon to be ex-hubby gets the car (he is welcome to it IMO) so she needs a new motor PDQ. Looking to pick up something new, pre registered or nearly new and thinking...

I'm looking at reshodding the car and have Pirelli P7's (fairly new) on the front and a P7 with a P6000 on the back. The P6000 is almost down to it's last bit of legal tread (the other P7 on the back was a replacement as the previous matching P6000 found flat and unrepairable one morning) What...

Thinking of getting HFP bluetooth kit and wondered with the poor choice of up to date phones avaliable ,which is best to go for.Dont want music,not big on pictures.Really want a phone and maybe e mail.Thought maybe nokia 6300 or blackberry..Any thoughts

Ok now, i basically dont really like the standard headlights on my 1990 W124, i much prefer the crystal glass look and think the standard ones look a bit dated. Granted its an old car but i still prefer a clear lens. And i have seen these on eBay...
