I've been to look at a car (W211 E63) with AKC before I purchased my W219 CLS63. That was a nicely specced car with the rare P30 pack but ultimately not what I wanted. He seemed to have quite a nice bit of stock at the time - mostly prestige and 4x4 - so I don't know whether he doesn't have them...

I use one of these LINK Attaches to the 20 pin ipod cable in the glove box. The steering wheel controls don't skip track but that's a minor inconvenience I can live with

About normal price IMO. Get most of my tools from FFX because they have a great variety and fortunately are quite local. https://www.ffx.co.uk/tools/product/Sealey-Ak7302-5051747443105-Breaker-Bar-750Mm-1-2Insq-Drive

Turns out I was worrying about nothing. All the fuses were still complete so I whipped the front bumper off (took me longer than I thought because of how well built these are compared to my previous Seat) and all the lines to each corner were all in great condition, the same can't be said of...

Yes, looking at the location of the air pump that could be very possible. Fingers crossed for a simple solution like that.

So last week my 2007 CLS 63 threw the auxilliiary belt when one of the pulleys threw in the towel. I left the car parked up and ordered the new pulley and belt and fitted them today. In the process of doing so, I jacked the car up from the front jacking point just enough to assist with removing...

This is a work colleague's car. W221 S63 and I think it is the SWB model.

Have seen 28mpg mid-run in my CLS63 (M156) but that's normally dropped to 26/27 by the time I've parked up on a few trips to/from Silverstone and Donington this year. 150+ miles each way makes for a reasonably long run and sometimes you get a clear run where nobody has decided to have a smash...

No, stretched tyres are stupid! There is a reason that a multi-billion pound/euro/dollar company has specified a certain tyre size for a certain wheel size after spending a significant amount of money developing the car.

With the W211s decide what options you want on the car and use that to narrow it down as there can be quite a few on the market at a time. 14/15K is top of the market for one and you shouldn't accept anything but the best at that price IMO. This one has been for sale for ages. It came up in my...

219 over the 211 it's based on. 212 over the 218 though.

Before buying my W219 CLS63 I looked at a few W211 E63s too. Decide what options you want on the car, use that to narrow the market then pick based on condition. I went Harmon Kardon, Sunroof, Keyless Go instead of dynamic seats or rear blind. I really liked the panoramic roof on the E Class...

Service Plan Schedule clearly lists commencing June 2019 and finishing June 2023. As you say, perhaps they have recently changed their terms? I know they won't let you start one with under 3 months to go until a service is due so I'm guessing owners probably get upsold a service plan when they...

I don't believe that to be the case. 1(d) specifies - ending on the latest of: - the attainment of the contracted number of services specified in the chosen Plan; or - the attainment of the contracted number of months in the Plan; or - the termination of MBUK's obligation to carry out the...

I've recently just put my new (to me) 2007 CLS63 on to a service plan. The website will give you a quote but you have to request a call back from the dealership to set it up. B service due November was scheduled to be just over £750 because as it hits 12 years old it is due spark plugs too at...
