    Well known, and similarly not too local, but i'd give a strong recommendation for pristine Alloy Wheel Repair Experts, Alloy Refurbishment They did all four wheels on my 2005 W203 about six months ago, total cost £100/corner. been very pleased with the result. After seven years they were...

    Mains-powered tyre inflators

    Compressed air safety Pretty sure this is only for commercial use - Per HSE regs the guideline is that systems over 250 bar-litres (thats around the top end of DIY-type systems) are likely to need a written safety scheme. But remember that compressed air can be dangerous, both explosion...

    Upgrading alloys on W204?

    Big wheels = More tax Makes £200 a year difference on my CLK 280 with 18 inch AMG wheels, unfortunately you can't go back as it was registered with them. Not sure I'd deliberately make the change from 17 to 18 inches - more expensive tyres and on British roads full of potholes a bit more...

    iPhone 4S connection?

    MB-2 / Iphone 4 compatibility Do you find it connects reliably and transfers contacts reliably? Have had pretty poor results on various iphones (3G,4, 4s) with my MB-2000 which I thought was the same, - works fine with other phones, (Nokia and HTC) , with the iphone it connects about 70% of...

    Winter Tyres - To use all year?

    Was in Austria last week with my Rep (who has 93,000 km on the Galaxy he bought less than a year ago). They've had a couple of warm winters - he doesn't like it because when its not cold (<10C) the life time of winter tyres is greatly reduced. Of course if you don't do 1500 miles aweek it may...

    Options to connect iPhone 4 to MB head unit

    Anyone know a good general purpose bluetooth UHI adapter that works well with the iphone4? I don't particularly want to invest in a cradle that will be obsolete in a year or so, but have pretty much given up on my viseeo - despite an expensive software update it connects maybe 2 out of three...

    C220 CDI Sport query

    Last Time I was Looking at the Brabus display I'm pretty sure it was available for the W204. It would take my W203 C220 up to 200hp +, so presume you could get a bit more on the W204. This is the only Mercedes approved option. Anything else will screw up the warranty. I'd check it out, Don't...

    ViseeO Mercedes Bluetooth Upgrade Module

    about 350, something like half are categorised correctly, the rest on the 'Other' - takes a lot of scrolling to get to them, can't se anything obvious in how the contacts are set up, but I haven't had a lot of time to explore it,

    Bluetooth UHI Quandry

    I decided on Viseo (from Alfie) because it has a good level of compatibility with current phones and a good chance of future upgrade capability. The MB Bluetooth adapters pretty much come with a guarantee they won't work with the phone you buy next week.

    ViseeO Mercedes Bluetooth Upgrade Module

    I have an XDA Orbit 2 (which i think is virtually identical to the touch cruise), had a lot of problems synchronising at first, after a hard reset of the XDA and no programs running it seemed to work fine. I still have a problem of half my contacts synchronising into 'other' rather than A, B...

    Version 10 map DVD available

    Hi Richard Does the new map disk have Jersey, and anything other than major roads in Ireland? (try Military Hill in Cork for example, which has been there for 100 years + but not made it onto V9) if so I may treat myself to one sometime.
