Welcome from another Hampshire resident…

I used Trimfix, the high temp stuff on my bonnet mat. Think they make a normal one too..

They are offered on the AMG Private Lounge, usually a bit later this year. I may have two older ones but will check for you..

I intend to put together a comparison between the 211 and 213 once I have a few more mile in the 213. It has Michelins atm, fairly new too. I think most E63’s come with most options to begin with as most seem to be “premium”.

It is just a secure storage box that is accessed by pulling forward one or both of the rear seats. Useful for an umbrella, blanket or what ever might be handy in the car, but seldom needed.

Prior to picking up an S213, E63 I had a good chat with Jobsworth, the one thing he did reiterate was to have a really good test drive, as the 4motion drive is not always as smooth as you would hope for. As usual he knows his stuff, the car does scrub and skip on tight turns and around mini...

Thank you, why didn’t I think of that.. yes I can wield a spanner and have time….I shall get on and read those..

As way of an update, the new compressor comes with a pre fitted fitting. The nut and tube need to be removed from the old compressor. The nut is taken off the tube buy pulling a collet off and opening the nut up a little to allow it to come off. The tube pushes into the new fitting after...

As an update, my local expert says the leak “could” be from the evaporator, but can’t get to it without removing the dash. System not holding gas overnight. I can see this being a costly fix so am going to book it into my local MB dealership as may be a bit of goodwill depending on the...

Dreadful !!! they aren’t even that good, looks like something has been gnawing on them.

Our V220, 447. (2019) air con light has gone out and was hissing behind the dash…. diagnostic says low gas (B119184) iirc, so assume that it has a leak. Noticed a larger than normal puddle of condensation behind the rear wheel after returning from a five hour journey…. presume that the...

The sirens can corrode internally causing various faults within the unit. The car also has an alarm module in the boot, the fuse in the boot is labelled ATA.. might be worth pulling that to see if that is causing the problem..

Thank you, just found this out by having a fiddle…. one was not on correctly so lucky not to have lost it. Going to clean them up and make sure that they click correctly into place.. but of a shoddy item really.. still lots to sort out with it though but enjoying it so far..

I need to experiment more, have only had it a week and a bit. That was in “individual “ set up by the previous owner.

My car, according to the data sheet has a production date on Sep 18, though a 19 plate car and has the OPF, option 598. It also has U78, switchable exhaust system. I have to listen very carefully to hear the engine and exhaust pops and bangs. Very quiet inside.

We had an A200d from new… 2016 car and had no problems nor complaints with it. It was powerful enough, great on fuel and rfl fee. Had enough room inside for the two of us, my only niggle was that I managed to bump my head most times getting in, am 5’10 so not tall either. It was Jupiter red...

Thank you, yes we met at the Tesco initially, before driving down to Beaulieu in convoy. …. SHMBO has always had the better car, “dockyard runarounds” for me most of my life. I am very lucky, SHMBO doesn’t deny me a nice car, subject to it not impacting on our lifestyle.

Well, Chris did ask.. not often called a gentleman either, no bragging intended, just very happy that I have managed to buy a nice car..

Thank you, it does take a certain type of sunlight for the colour to really show. I have a Melanite coloured car and it spends most of its life one shade of black or another but on the right day it really does change to a few shades of green with bronze highlights. I would have preferred a...

My apologies Chris, it is an E63, a 4 litre V8.
