Looks good. Whereabouts did you get it done?

Hi all. I'm struggling to find an ABC specialist anywhere near me. Can anyone recommend one in the Peterborough/Boston/Kings Lynn area? Thanks.

And also map out DPF/EGR.

Lots of people remove DPFs in a way that's not noticeable for MOT, i.e. Gut and replace original. Usually recommended to get a specialist map to ensure it's "smokeless". My understanding is that they usually pass emissions fine. Not recommending or condoning of course.

Kind of agree with this, but the problems with high mileage diesels these days are expensive....DPFs, EGRs, swirl flaps, etc often don't make it to 200k and aren't usually cheap fixes.....

I personally don't like the chrome one most cars. But maybe I'm a boy racer after all 🤔

I've been meaning to black out the chrome one my S212 for ages. Just struggling to find them time to do it. Just find a wrapping company that has an exceptional reputation. I don't think it has to look boy racer, but that's subjective I guess 🙂

Very belatedly following up on this. I had the gearbox fluid changed and all seems well. Fingers crossed. Thanks all for advice, as ever. I'm actually probably gonna to be selling the car soon, as I just don't have the time to use it any longer. So if anyone wants a fairly-rare-now biturbo V12...

I was recently looking at these again... The cheapest 213 is a fair whack more than the most expensive 212. Wonder if that will change with the new E63... Maybe not given it won't be V8...

Yeah so much salt.... It makes me wince when I go out!

Awesome, congrats. Lovely car. Be interested to hear how you find it compared with the C when you've got used to it... We've got some snow here so I think the AMG will be staying at home... It's more Defender weather.

OK, last attempt here. It's on eBay, link below, so grab yourself a bargain :) Or contact me to make an offer/view. I'm really hoping someone here can save me from the eBay time-wasters! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115993807593 Thanks to forum members for feedback on the advert. I was advised...

Agree on the personal loan front. Not sure I follow the logic of offsetting with an index tracker investment with today's interest rates...? You're surely not going to "beat" the ~7% long term average return from investment in terms of the loan interest rate are you? If the loan could be had at...

@Skd884 top marks for your investigative work 👍 Useful for the community and very enlightening!
