    Another Cuprite estate.. Well, there you go.

    A familiar looking Cuprite E500

    Yep. He also can't construct a decent advert, he's included no history or maintenance work, his knowledge of the car/model is clearly none-existent (other than what he could be bothered to rip from my advert, which isn't much) and the minimal amount of relevant photos mark him out as utterly...

    A familiar looking Cuprite E500

    Haha, still a car that divides opinion, I see. Styling is always a personal thing. Before I even had the car delivered (I owned it from July 2021 by the way) I knew that what I wanted for it was a set of those W221 OEM S600 wheels. They look perfect on the car to my eyes; flat-faced wheels for...

    Should also add - someone here has kindly pointed out that the car is ULEZ compliant.

    S212 E500 - The Brown One

    Sadly it looks as though I'll be selling the E500. Family needs come first and we're going to be a 1 car household, and the wife needs an SUV for the upright seating position. I will do a proper advert when I get chance but I just wanted to post in case there might be any interest. Just...

    Non-OEM airbag functionality

    Sorry all, I know airmatic threads have been done to death, but I can't seem to find a specific answer to this. I've just ordered a pair of Arnott bags for the rear of my S212, and I've just been told by someone (who knows his Merc onions, I might add) that I may lose some airmatic...

    Which Starter Motor?

    Good suggestions, thank you both 👍

    Which Starter Motor?

    I think my S212 E500 is in need of a new starter motor - the symptoms being that occasionally I'm only getting the whirring of the shaft spinning, which I assume means that it's not firing itself outwards and engaging with the flywheel to start the engine (does that seem a reasonable...

    ** Pic's Of My S600 V12 Twin Turbo W221 Facelift AMG Pack, 21" plus "

    I read this whole thread the other day and thought I'd commented but obviously not... (I also remember your M cars from Cutters - a few years ago I owned manual LCI Imola E46 M3 with a few mods, then an LCI E90 DCT) This car is a stunning looking thing. Should have absolutely no bother selling...

    S212 E500 - The Brown One

    I honestly have no idea, but the folks at Integrated Automotive are very helpful, I'm sure they'll be able to help with that :)

    Ah, that's a shame.

    S212 E500 - The Brown One

    I think it's certainly good value, particularly given that a proper outfit fitted it. He was only a young-ish chap, but he certainly seemed to know his stuff. Plus the manufacturer is on the other end of his mobile for any teething issues. They do different units depending on the age of the...

    S212 E500 - The Brown One

    Forgot to add this. The standard COMAND interface looks very old fashioned, and I'm a big fan of using Waze for getting about. Plus I like the Android Auto in my MX5, so I'd like really fancied having it properly integrated into in the E500 rather than constantly using my phone to navigate and...

    S212 E500 - The Brown One

    😆😆😆 Excellent! I'm saving that to phone, might make it my forum avatar, ha ha! As for the wax, yes it's some relatively fancy stuff but I can't remember what it is.... I might have it ceramic coated at some point but if I do it'll be at a different place, there's a detailer in Lincoln called...
