Ive never had to concern myself with this issue- Ive an 18-year old MGTF and its lights are as good as the day it rolled off the line at Cowley. We have had a few E-classes over the years- they suffered it, but i knew no better and ignored it (they were the wifes and she rarely drove of a...

1200 wet n dry, 2000 wet n dry, G3 cutting compound, Top coat cutting/polishing compound and finally resin polish/sealer. Takes about 1/2 Hr to allow some drying.

Hello all- I think this is my first post, so rather than post another thread of a similar subject, ill hijack this one, if I may- and might be able to offer a bit of help although id value you opinion, before i start throwing money about unnecessarily. I’ve owned a CLK 230 Kompressor for about...

Great article- My F5 in the boot was blown on my CLK230 and it was, as advised- the alarm siren. Anyone reading this and a little confused- In UK- remove front passenger road wheel- jack up and support the car- remove the plastic cover (horizontal one, not the one in the wheelarch) and you will...
