    The Turbo Thread.

    K: that looks a very neat installation. Well done guys. I bet it pulls like a train when it's on boost. The main thing to watch for now is the increase in temperature under the bonnet....especially in Summer :) A few questions: 1. It's hard to tell from the front-on pic but is that a...

    Corrosion warranty claim.

    I may have mentioned before that I found what looked like bubbling along the lower (inner) seam of my tailgate.  Not just one patch but all along the tailgate.   Having mentioned it to our local dealer we now find ourselves with an appointment to have a complete new hatch fitted next week.

    My New Accessory

    Jimmy:  looks like a Cruise missile mate - expect you'll have UN weapons inspectors crawling all over it at the next GTG  <img src="http://www.mbclub.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>  <img...

    Anyone checked out the MBOA site recently ?

    Seems the MBOA boys have adopted a new look. http://forums.mercedesclub.org.uk/ Looks strange and lacks any form of Mercedes logo etc.

    Headlight Bulbs

    Cheers Jimmy. I managed to find the original boxes for the bulbs and they are Lucas Blue Lightning.  Probably the same as all the other upgrade bulbs i.e. don't come near to what they promise, but do give a definite improvement over the originals. Quote: &quot;Simulates daylight driving&quot...

    Headlight Bulbs

    Jimmy:  I changed my dipped beam bulbs about this time last year as my wife remarked that the standard ones were fairly average.   The upgraded ones (can't recall exactly what they were) gave out a much brighter and crisper white light and have been a lot better than the original bulbs. Also...

    Steering

    Jimmy: &nbsp;unless you've experienced any adverse tyre wear etc I wouldn't mess with it...particularly if it's fine on decent road surfaces.

    OT: Everyone OK after the Gales?

    Glad to hear that owners and Benz's are OK. We were out early Sunday morning and things were pretty rough outside.  Trees down all over the place around Northwich etc.  Only trouble we experienced was that something bounced off the roof whilst coming home.  Just missed the windscreen and made a...

    vegtable oil thread on BS

    I can't say as I like the idea of my car smelling like a chip-shop to be honest.   Did anyone see Top Gears demo of this in last Sunday's programme - got an RAC chap to run an older Volvo estate on it.  Worked no problem. JIMMY:  think I'll give it a miss mate  <img...

    Front grill

    From the look of it, it's either for a CLK or a new shape C.  It only has 4 horizontal bars, whereas the w210 item has 5 chrome bars.

    MB Service 24h and my new car...

    Maff:  have to agree, that level of service is deplorable, but is more or less what we've come to expect from too many stealerships.  We should all be entitled to better....even more so if I'd paid CL money for a car. However....jokingly....it's &quot;almost&quot; comforting to see that even...

    Are Mercs expensive to service?

    Paul,  that's a frighteningly expensive &quot;service&quot;...but you did have a bit of extra work done on the car.  Is it fair to say that labour charges were the main chunk of that bill ? If so, think yourself lucky it wasn't a MB stealership doing the work <img...

    Into the Stealership again!!!!

    Wheelie:  know what you mean about getting the **** etc.  I've been soarly tempted to dump the Benz....but when it's problem free it's brilliant.   Sadly, when it comes to customer service, there seems to be a major difference between customer expectations and what MB actually deliver.  We've...
