We have a 2007 version of this car and love it. We checked for the obvious issues before buying and found our car had the later, modified engine, so no worries on that front. So far in our three years of ownership the only unexpected ownership costs have been a simple repair to the leaking...

I'd have to agree. In my area we face a similar issue. Our elected representatives respective offices are literally 200 yards apart, across a main road yet on my numerous journeys along that road since the COVID shutdown neither have ever been open. No lights on, no open doors, no...

This one seems appropriate

These were removed from our R230 during a suspension overhaul. They’re by KYB, not originals so were replaced with genuine MB items. They were exactly the same length off the car but clearly had different spring rates. Clearly not all springs are created equal. As a result the car now sits...

My village never fails to surprise me.

I’ve been patiently waiting for this, here’s my old Royal Navy Phantom Squadron 😎

Thanks for the extremely detailed description and excellent photos John. I’ve a much clearer idea how this all works now. Cheers

Thanks John, much appreciated 😎

Oh yeah!

The rear plate had the same photo too! Disregarding legal issues, why would anyone want a picture of Neil Kinnock and a Rod Stewart lookalike on their car?

My car is a 2007 model, am I right in thinking it will have the updated mounting plates?

So I’ve heard. I thought I’d try to paint them in situ.

Thanks guys. I think I’ll go for the DIY paint solution. Can anyone suggest what the best primer and topcoat paint would be? If I screw this up I’ll go look for somewhere to get them wrapped instead. Cheers

Has anyone replaced these filler pieces either side of the rear window? Mine seem to be delaminating and are letting the look of the car down.

Im researching buying my first Porsche right now and have read that the best insurance seems to be to buy a higher mileage car 60k+ as any issues will have been revealed by that mileage or proof that the work has already been done. In any case the problem isn’t as widespread as many people...

How can car without an ICE be called a “turbo”?

All the Mercedes cars we’ve had have been maintained by the Mazzoni Brothers at Merparts in Port Glasgow. They’ve resolved problems that Glasgow Mercedes couldn’t fix and know more about the marque than most most main dealers. They only ever use genuine Merc parts so warranties are not...

I spotted the wiper blades too, seems a bit keen to replace them so soon but who knows why? I’m bemused by the replacement “rear stop/start battery” at £118. Maybe a simple typing mistake but my SL350 definitely only stops and starts on the ignition key. Makes me wonder how much they...
