Hi there, I'm contemplating touring Europe in my SL this year however luggage space is a premium, can anyone point me towards some luggage tailored to fit the boot and behind the seats. Thanks.

Great, Acid has been on the phone and I'm gonna look at improving the exhaust look and tone and tweak the ECU for a bit more power.

Thanks, I was looking at the MSL site this morning and am now waiting for someone to call me back.

I've had my SL500 for some time and the old girl is now 11, I'm thinking should I change to a newer model alternatively tinker with her and upgrade the performance. Can anyone point me towards a garage specialising in improving Mercedes performance, I'm hoping that they can advise me on whether...

Had 2 E320's, an Avantgarde and a sport and both were great. Find one where the first buyer put all the factory fitted extras on it! Simples!

Hi there Lee, E320 CDI - nice car. I had two, one was the Avantgarde, the other the Sport. Both were pre-owned (couple of years) and fully loaded with all the toys the last being a 57 plate. Fantastic cars and no complaints however, I'm not too sure about the latest model. Martyn

Hi there, Had a similar problem with my SL, the little plastic clip (bayonet clip) that hooks the lid down had broken off. Similar to you, the previous owner had made a bodge job glueing it back. I tried finding a new one but came up blank - luckily I had the clip and using super glue I...

I have a Navitimer that i bought when I retired from the Military in 2005. 4.2K then but you need to add 500 now. Personally, I wouldnt pay that amount for that watch - there are better examples around in second hand jewelers and you will get piece of mind its not stollen or fake.

Ok, What I have been doing is washing with Megs Gold then polishing then adding Megs lasst touch detailing spray. So you are saying drop the polishing, continue with the rest and wax now and then. What is the polymer seal you refer to?

Hi there all, Last week I found some time to give my baby a good clean: First I rinsed it down with a hose, washed it with maguires shampoo (not quite got to the two bucket method yet!), Dried with a good microfibre (one of my best ever buys, dries the car in seconds), Clayed with...
