Hi All, bit of a de-lurk from me - I used to be quite active, but have had a string of lease cars for the last decade, and am now looking at privately buying another Mercedes for my wife. The car I'm looking at tomorrow is a '55' plate B200 SE CVT - 2 owners, almost complete MB history - 70K...

Well it's certainly been a while, but I'm now well and truly back into the MB fold. Just picked up my new car, it's a CLS 350CDI Grand Edition in Palladium Silver. Look forward to getting back into the forum...

Well done, a very sensible purchase, as I'm sure everyone else here will agree. I've finally got my father into a W124 230TE, borrowed it a few weekends ago to do a bit of load lugging, I agree doesn't feel like a car constructed in 1990.

Sunny here in Oxon, though -1C this morning, roof down on the way to the shops :)

Yes from what I've seen on eBay, they use regular Halogen bulbs...

Locked away in Germany? Sounds interesting, is there a thread?

Hi PJ, It's good to be back - how's the Coupé going? Laz --

Hello folks, It's been a while since I've been on here, and after a 2 year assignment to Switzerland, and a brief dalliance with a Lexus IS200 I'm back at the helm of another Mercedes - a late R170 SLK 230 Kompressor. Now I have a question, my new steed is suffering from fogging of the...

That and the fact you can use just about any type of key to steal one of those...

Time for me to bear my soul as well.... Firstly, and not that horrific was my Renault 20 TS (a fun two litre) that I customised with Renault 25 alloys (hand painted with silver Hammerite), then I "upgraded" the interior with a naff gear knob from Halfords, a Renault 19 steering wheel, and the...

Hi All, Sorry I've not been on the forum for a while, I've been working out in Zurich for most of this year, and well time has flown by. Anyhow, I'm now looking at finally changing my C-Class to something with a bit longer legs, and I've come across a CL420 coupe with low mileage (65K) and...

I know the place ;) lovely food. My favourites are: "Edo & Kyo" in Amsterdam "Veeraswamy" in London "Fogo de Chão" in Chicago and, of course, my own kitchen. :D

The deal is nearly done, and from the beginning of May, I'll be working in the centre of Zurich for the next 1.5 years... So that means instead of doing 40-50K a year, my mileage will drop considerably :) Logically, and with the purchase of our A-Class, this means I can go a bit nuts in the...

To my mind it would've made more sense to offer the S-Class with this powerplant, as BMW wouldn't have anything to match it, as the 730d is the same powerplant as the 535d?

I wonder why we don't get that bad boy over here then? I'dve thought that they'd shift loads of them

The pinnacle of old/new IMHO was the last of the old shape Saab 900s, the H type 16 valve turbo powerplant was supremely reliable, but had a sensible amount of electronics involved. A friend of mine has done over 300,000 in his '93 'K' reg, the thing just keeps on going... a contender to...

The only element that is unlikely to be B&O in my final system will be a good quality power amplifier, perhaps an Arcam or similar. My (current) finalised system will be as follows: MX4000 21" TV (upgrading to MX7000 or BeoVision Avant when funds allow) RL2000 speakers (AV front stereo...

Thats what I was after - the part number for the whole handle

I agree with flyer, B&O is a bit of a love or hate thing, I don't have either of the models you mentioned, but also have a lot of B&O in the house, I'm slowly replacing everything with B&O to end up with an integrated system. I tend to buy my kit on eBay, as it's significantly cheaper, every...

Hi Everyone, Firstly sorry for not being around much recently, but I'm in the process of temporarily relocating to Zurich, which is taking up a lot of my time right now... ...Just thought I'd tell you about a few of the cars I saw this weekend in and around Reims and Epernay. We took Mrs...
