    2011 W212 E250 - rear tyres heavy wear in middle?

    I would say definitely over inflation, as said above I have found the manufacturers guide to be way over the top especially when using that German shit they call continental. Go for Good year F1 's I have had twice as many miles when compared to the Conti sport contact 5/6 (both about the...

    Emergency Wheel

    This is the reason my current Mercedes will be my last one. There is just no logic to this decision by Mercedes. Do most Mercedes owners really give a s*** about saving a few pounds a year on road tax or a few pounds a year on fuel? I had problems with a BMW about ten years ago, had run flats...

    help!!! power increase for e350cdi

    The turbo on the E350 265 is rated at 310 bhp, mine has the MSL map and I'm happy with it. 0-60 in under 5.5 seconds, for a big diesel it is fast enough for me. There is no point spending any more money on performance as the remap on offer from MSL pushes the turbo to its limits you will just be...

    Disappointed with Conti sport contact 5

    Yes we are in agreement... I must be absolutely crazy for expecting a set of tyres that cost £800 to last more than 15k on a car that wafts up and down the motorway and for writing a letter of complaint to Continental because my current tyres have only done 5k and have 4mm left on the tread.

    Disappointed with Conti sport contact 5

    Thanks for your replies. I do not have any interest in financially motivated tests or reviews; from experience I have found them to be absolute nonsense the days of "The Expert" are finished. I much prefer the opinions of real people who are not involved in the industry like these ...

    Disappointed with Conti sport contact 5

    Thanks for your replies. I'm still undecided it's going to be the Goodyear A3 or the Michelin ps4. As you may have already gathered I will not be buying anything Continental again; being ripped off twice is more than enough for me. In my opinion Continental are a mediocre Tyre manufacturer...

    Disappointed with Conti sport contact 5

    Hello I have done a search and not found anyone on here that has had the same experience as me. From the start... The car came with Conti SC 5's on; I didn't have them on long they seemed ok didn't really pay particular attention to the tread depth when I bought the car. I then fitted the...

    Oil change frequency post remap?

    I think it all depends on how and where you drive it if you have a heavy foot and do a lot of round town I would half the manufacturer's service interval if you don't accelerate hard much and do a lot of motorway miles I would do it around 15 k.

    Coming back to MB from VAG

    I would go for that one low mileage and has the colour display in the speedo. You will be dissapointed if you but the other. The remap is well worth the money mine was done at MSL will give the car better fuel economy and giant slaying capabilities.

    Coming back to MB from VAG

    In the E class coupe the colour display in the speedo is indicative of the newer 265 and 7g+ engine and gearbox the monochrome display in the speedo will more than likely be the 231. If I stick to the speed limit in my 265 e-coupe it does over 50 mpg. It has also slain many vag's on the...

    Claim(s) to "Fame".

    I'm the only dead member from the challenger disaster reincarnated to a new body. I'm surprised I got a second chance because all I did was lie and deceive in my previous life.
