    Who uses ‘V-Power Diesel’....

    Esso Supreme is (quite a bit) cheaper and closer to where I live than the Shell equivalent, so I do use that every few tanks. Anyone have any experience of using the two brands' premium diesels and care to compare them?

    Would the Goodyear 5s be a good choice for my W212 E220CDI on 145/45/17?

    Hahaha! I think that's true. There are certainly those for whom thy've never done anything wrong (or compromised to save a $)! Maybe I'll get away with it as it's Xmas!

    Actually, I have to rescind the above following additional investigation - first dry day since I bought the car (it's lovely and quiet on dry roads!)

    I guarantee the next time it happens it'll be pouring with rain too!

    Disable key-initiated tailgate opening?

    Hope no-one minds me resurrecting this thread. I've already done this to my (new to me) 2013 E class estate, so it must be quite easy to accidentally do. Has anyone been inside the remote - i.e. is it easy to take apart? We used to put little bits of paper behind similar switches in...

    That's a really good point and I think I probably fall into this category. I've driven too many vans and people movers I guess. I shall experiment with a lower position.
