Spacing the number plate like is suggested below would be illegal by the way. It's amazing how many you still see like this though on the roads... even with the threat of 3 points and an MOT failure on the cards. Rich

I'm sure I read exactly that comment but the otherway round on "Scoobynet" .... ;) Rich

Hay Voodoo, sure I remember seeing you on ScoobyNet when I had my WRX 300 (NorthDownsScooby). Welcome to "potential" Mercedes ownership. Best to think of the "55" as PPP'd WRX except without all the power squeezed into 3000-5500 revs. Smooth over all the rev range, with a good pull, but not...

I bet it gets all the crap off, and leave your nuts (:rolleyes: ) nice and rusty too as its starts to corrode them !! Seriously, this stuff is good but too severe to use weekly, or even monthly. Rich

Clean alloys with Menzerna Gel 7.5 Wheel & Tyre Cleaner http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/pb78-79wheels.html Polish wheels with Poorboy's Wheel Sealant http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/pb142wheels.html will keep them looking nice & shiny, without stripping off the protective...

I have just changed from Dunlop SP9000s to Michelin Pilot Sports at around the size you're looking for on my S500, and thoroughly recommend them. Look good too I think. :D

No it's not a safety feature, but I'm sure some dealer would probably use that line ;) Most UK roads are designed with a slight camber so that water naturally runs off them - and in the UK specifically so that the water runs to the edge/kerb/gutter. This is the same on either side of the...

Mines def the 7-speed. Tried going downhill with cruise control on at 40 the other day - the car rolled up to 50, then changed gear to try and bring the speed down again. Never experienced that before !!

As I live on top of the North Downs, the only way is down so to speak, and that usually mean s-t-e-e-p hills. My latest W220 is doing something different downhill to the last one, and I just wanted some feedback or explanation of what's going on. The old one (00 S320, 5 speed auto) used to...

I would go for the W220 S500.... because that's what I did - recently ! I had a V'00 W220 S320 last and that was good too. Rich

Nice cars, nice engine, usual problems, good prices. I was considering one for a while until I actually went and sat in one. Same size as the cavernous S-class overall but only room for 5year olds in the back. Very strange. Rich

Yep agree with KLP. It was only the 600 & 55 that had larger wheels as standard. Rich

think I had those on my last "S". My one recollection about them was that they didn't seem to last long on the rear, but were excellent on the front, and that was on a 320. Rich

Hi All, The time has come for some new rubber on the rear, so I'm looking for some justified recommendations if anyone's got some. Currently riding on Dunlop SP Sport 9000 , and the same on the front actually. Size Rear: 265/R18/40 97Y Size Front: 245/ZR18/45 96Y Any suggestions...
