Thanks. Missed this great forum after moving to the dark side for a couple years!

Thank you very much for the help.

hi folks I'm looking at some AMG 18in alloys for a W209 that I've just bought (same as ones in pic below). Style IIIs I think?? I know the rims fit the W209 but cannot remember what the tyres sizes should be. I'm thinking they should be: Front-225 / 40 R18 92 Y Rear- 255 / 35 R18 94 Y...

hi guys having gone to the Beemer dark side for a little while looking to get back to Merc ownership with a cheap second 'fun' car. Been looking at the W209 CLK and trying to decide on a 270CDI, 320CDI or 320 petrol. What's peoples views? I'd be doing about 6000 miles a year in it...

I'm looking to buy a CLS 320CDI, probably a 2006-7 model, maybe 08 if I stretch the budget a bit. I want something comfy to do motorway miles in and not particularly keen on the equivalent E Class. Just wondering if there's anything in particular to look out for in these? I believe...

MB batteries come with a 2 year warranty these days and they usually fit it for free. I changed mine recently and the price was comparable to a heavy duty one from the RAC.

Get a CLK55, much less to go wrong and big enough to be a 4 seater. and hello from the other side of Manc town.

my V5 has the engine number, same on all my previous AMG cars.

Auto lights probably has a lot to do with that. Set and forget from day 1 of ownership.

is the seller a member on here? he seems to be a Merc specialist seller looking at his stock.

If you drive all the time with fog lamps on then I just think a: you're unable to operate the controls on your car properly b: if you think you need them on all the time then you're not looking at the correct piece of tarmac or you have eyesight problems. either way, it just makes me...

I really don't understand how people can go and buy a brand new car and not check what is standard for the price and what is optional?
