The other thing is eventually your upholstery is going to suffer in my opinion. I regularly treat my leather with Gliptone but even that can only do do much against UV until it damages your seats and trim.

What I have noticed since I had the tints put in is how much cooler the car's interior is on a very sunny day. With the original window it was like a greenhouse with the back window being so large- in fact I'm sure I could have successfully grown tomato plants on the back shelf! I went for a...

I’ve owned a 1998 230 CLK Elegance 5 speed manual for very nearly 2 years now and really from the first time I drove it I loved it. It originally had 88k on the clock, service history up to 76k but it had perhaps fallen on hard times slightly and was starting to show its age- courtesy of a...

Can I resurrect this thread and ask for a bit of advice about retro-fitting CC to my 208 CLK. I've been through all the pages, there's quite a few contradictory ideas as whether this mod can be done and only one who confirms having it done to his manual 202. My car is 1998 230k Elegance 5...

I have for sale a genuine 17" AMG polished alloy part number A2044014502- size 7.5Jx17H2 Offset ET47 taken from a 2008 C Class, it's the front one from staggered set up. Condition is used but absolutely no kerbing and just about as new otherwise. I'm looking for £80 which obviously is a...

They are the C class ones are from Mercedes & Chrysler Jeep Southend and the other is a private seller which shows them with the parts label etc. I've had bits and bobs off the place at Southend before and it's always genuine stock.

To be honest I must admit that I haven't checked but expected them to be well over a ton, these on ebay work out with postage just short of £50. I know that there are cheaper alternatives using no genuine mats but wanted to keep to genuine- they have after all lasted 15 years and over 100k...

The front mats on my W208 are the original thick velour type but are looking a bit tired now after nearly 15 years so I was looking to replace them. Obviously I can get them from the main dealer but they cost and arm and a leg, so I've been searching on Ebay for genuine mats at a cheaper price...

The reason that his bid went straight in at your reserve is that he has bid at least that or possibly more. If it had been a penny under your reserve it would have just shown as a 99p opening bid, so there is no reason to be suspicious on that count. His history though is a bit dubious so I'd...

Well up to now the situation seems to have rectified itself. AFAIK things like the sunroof drain go into the sill and then drain out naturally, which is why I believe that the sill drains had become blocked. The drain plugs are situated fore and aft of the sill they're a rubber grommet type...

Seeing as you're in the general area I believe also the classifieds in the motoring section on Sheffield Forum, a lot of stuff gets listed on there. BTW very sorry to hear about this Ian, I hope that you get through this difficult period quickly and even better SYP catch the ba$tards.

I don't think that yours and my premiums are too different. I'm 51 but I think living in S8 on a terraced street (lots of motor theft apparently) doesn't help and also I have no voluntary excess and my NCB protected. The other thing they include is key cover which with Merc keys being £230 a pop...

Thanks for the link. I'll revisit tomorrow morning and pass this on. I used Swintons in Woodseats this year because they were quite a lot cheaper with a cashback offer than even the price comparison sites. I'm just wondering that if you come to change a vehicle they lose perhaps lose their...
