    Looking for advise on CL55k or N/A purchase

    Still have my cl55k... great looking car.. not too many issues but expect to put your hand in your pocket as time goes on... remember its a 500bhp car..

    W211 E55 full decat

    Or, remove primary cats and resonators. Replace second cats for sport equivalents. I did, sounds amazing... very little drone..

    Where to source stock crank pulley for M113k (SL55)???

    Standard pulleys aren't cheap.. north of £400 I believe. ... mine had a wobble so had it changed....

    Potholes - double trouble!

    Potholes of late seem bigger.. or is it just me? That's an expensive journey.. 2 tyres and a wheel.. OUCH! I can't see the pics either... ?? Is there a way to view or update forum permissions?

    SL63 AMG suspension strut leaking

    Is that true that someone can rebuild in the UK.. I've a CL55 with a LHF strut showing up faults.. Main issue is they take an age to order as Merc don't have any stock.. I've so far waited nearly a month. Very frustrating. I'd certainly be interested to know if anyone can confirm rebuilds are...

    Formula One 2018 - General Thread

    Its a shame, but I have to agree... As a spectacle F1 isn't very exciting. The best bit is always the start when all the drivers are going for turn one, after that it becomes a bit mundane... I understand the tech and skill to drive at 200mph while cornering but its just not exciting to watch on...

    Formula One 2018 - General Thread

    10 years ago! Eh? Lewis is an acquired taste (seb is more so). The early days of Lewis he was easy to dislike, however in later years he's proved himself time and time again.. F1 is what it is today because of Lewis. I for one follow him and am always disappointed for him when he doesn't win...

    Mercedes R63. Whats it worth?

    I agree... Its a utility vehicle and is most likely very useful.. however making a 63 model devalues the true AMG car.. AMG should be reserved for certain models... We'll soon have a 63 van!

    SO51HTT e55 mercedes

    Surely at some point the 210s and 211s will begin to appreciate... don't tell me one day you could buy a 500bhp car for a few hundred quid..?

    Cheap E63?

    Is this a sign that E63's are getting cheaper (depreciating)??

    Cheap cls55

    1K spent... doesn't mean anything... These AMGs swallow money at an alarming rate.....

    Can't use my own oil???

    Yes, you are right :thumb:.. Independents use OEM parts and the one I use certainly does :).. Apologies, where I said 3rd party in my earlier post I meant Mercedes.. However the advantage I've found is the ability to source your own parts and request these are used... I'm guessing a main dealer...

    Can't use my own oil???

    I'd always be surprised if a main dealer allowed a customer to bring in their own parts as they'd always want to sell from their parts dept.. It may even be manufacturer policy (so above dealer level) to only fit the parts they supply... Where as an independent will buy in the parts they use...
