thanks for your replies...I will look to see which I can get and pricing...

Hi, Am looking to replace tyres on my 2016 SL63 - they have Continental Sport Contact 6 on at the moment. Has anyone tried Michelin Pilot Sports? Also, would you stick with only an MO tyre or is this not essential. thanks DB1

I tried the AMG GT Roadster - the cabin seemed small to me, and the tech on the new SL looks great. I think the AMG Roadster is more of a sports car whereas this might be more of a GT car....will be interesting to see how it turns out. but you are right - I am not sure how useful the rear seats...

There is a video on Youtube talking about the 2022 SL. So it can't be that far off being announced. I went along to MB Brooklands to find out if they had any information as to when it might be launched. They said they had no information. Would be nice to know, the spy shots and information have...

Hi, I haven’t had that specific problem but in general I have used small pieces of double sided tape in the areas where I can see or hear contact. I haven’t had much success with sprays apart from the roof seal where it has had a good effect. DB1

Hi, Am thinking of a CL500 or possibly an W221 S-class. I know its a bit unusual but I need to transport some e-bikes. Is it possible to fit a towbar to either of those just for the e-bikes not for any trailers etc. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks DB1

Just a shout out to Carlo at SS Motors. I have an SL55 and have used them for a long time for various things and services etc. Today I was checking the tyre pressure and wanted to open the fuel filler - would not budge. Carlo had recently sorted the pneumatic pump, but I didn't think that was...

Looks great - congratulations! I also found it booming on the M25 - at first I thought something was wrong, but this is how it is. I took a little while to get used to it coming from an SL55 as the ride in the 55 is much softer. Now I think its fantastic. I was amazed at the grip levels and the...

@ToeKnee @Rorywquin I think the rattles are more pronounced in the R231 AMG. The ride is a lot sportier than my 55 for example where I don’t have any rattles either. It doesn’t have the low profile tyres and the ride is much softer. Whilst I have not been in a non AMG R231 I suspect it may have...

Hi Louis, I can totally understand the frustration - especially with a new car. A few suggestions: 1. There are few videos on Youtube which show how the interior trim pieces are fitted. When you see how this works, its easy to move them a bit and insert the felt pieces. 2. The rattle over...

Great car! Nice color. I don’t see many on the road!

Hi, One of my other cars has a slight chip on the paint on one alloy wheel. I don’t really want to do a major refurb on it and was wondering what success anyone has had with an alloy Smart Repair. If there is anyone recommeded in the Surrey area that would be good. THanks DB1

The BH cleaner did seem to do the trick, but i agree the smell isn’t great. The upside is it made me much less hungry for dinner and given i am looking to shed a few pounds was an added bonus!

Hi, I have an SL55 which I have had for 18 years. 80k miles. It is looking a bit tired now and I would ideally like to refresh it. Is there anywhere around Guildford in Surrey that is recommended to do this. Ideally a company which understands a bit about the SL rather than a generic one would...

thanks for all the replies. I will report back on the BH once I have cleaned the wheels...the coating is a good idea too...will look into that.
