Any tips on doing this? They used to be very good, but were turned down for the MOT and I haven’t done much night driving since. There is what looks like a white adjuster behind the main xenon bulb. https://www.kwik-fit.com/blog/how-to-align-headlights-for-an-mot

Progress! The new cooler finally arrived from MB Germany. Just sorting an air con hose leak and hopefully I’ll have it back on the road after over 3 months of waiting…

Any recommendations please? I’m new to the area. Could go as far as Banbury if necessary.

The garage claims to have one en route but that was after I left them a message asking them to MOT it as is so I can bring it back home.

Part of my worry for the Eastern European sources was that the parts are second hand from stolen cars. Not a market I want to stimulate.

Nothing yet. Still no idea from MB in Germany as to when it will come into stock. I’m trying to persuade the garage to think of alternatives. I’m in the process of moving house, so I really don’t want the expense of getting the car moved to my new address on a recovery van for a similar hassle...

My 2012 S204 C63 PPP has sprung an oil leak from the offside oil cooler. Corrosion, apparently. A replacement has been on order for a month from MB in Germany and my MOT has now expired. Who makes these for MB? Anyone else waiting for one? Any alternatives?

Which oil cooler would be in the side pod on the offside (right) front? I have a leak. The oil is fairly dark but the engine oil was recently changed. W204 C63 M156 engine 2012 MY

No supply problems up north. Less panic buying - maybe they have realised that what goes up must come down again!

I assumed that basic mobility for commuting, shopping etc would continue, unless you are forseeing something more drastic

Food in general. If you can’t afford both fuel and food, the fuel will be sacrificed first. Which would you give up first? Meat or luxury travel? Remember that 1/3 of the grain used for bioethanol come back out as by product as animal feed. For biodiesel, rapeseed is only 40% oil and 60%...
