    E55 spark plugs

    There's a nice bit of discount on Autodoc today....I'm after some new plugs for my S211 E55. What are the best ones I should go for? https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/spark-plug-10251/mercedes-benz/e-class/e-class-t-model-s211/17489-e-55-t-amg-kompressor-211-276

    Another S211 E55...mega money

    The £9.5k one is a good reference too....it's been sat for a while now. That has less miles and less rust. I think at the mileage they're at, it's more about seeing what work has been done. As in, I've just spent £600 on mine getting some of the front suspension refreshed. It probably needs...

    S211 E500 rear air shocks airmatic

    Sorry to hear it's dropping again. I got the Arnott airbags from Merc85 last year. Price wise there's not much in it between buying the Arnott ones and Merc ones. As when I was looking Merc were doing a cashback thing, where they have £X back for your old suspension/airbags. I think the Arnott...

    Reversing sensors...not so useful?

    Without wishing to fan the flames (yet probably doing so). I think whoever it is that is claiming that the sensors are perfectly placed, is wrong. There's now three of us who find the sensors not to be in our eye line when the rear view mirror is set up for normal driving. In my case, part of...

    Reversing sensors...not so useful?

    That....I think on mine it doesn't beep at me until I'm very close to something, the visual indicator is what you have to watch. Annoyingly, the way I have my rear view mirror set up, the bars aren't in my natural eyeline. But that's a personal thing

    Premium tyre thoughts on new alloys.

    I've got pilot 4's on my E55 (that's a plural of 4, not a 4S). Really happy with them...they last as long as you want them to. I've heard got things about the Continentals, but no experience of them.

    I'm guessing the 5 spoke ones are post?

    Another S211 E55...mega money

    I don't think this one has been posted yet? As an owner of one of these, but with a few less miles and a lot less rust, I'd like to believe they're worth this much.....but sadly I don't think so! https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202012096934791

    Dead battery

    I had a very similar experience...I have an E55 too. My battery was dying/dead and I as a result had the big red battery sign on the dash. I tried charging etc but it couldn't hold enough charge, so I did the same as Matt and bought one from the main dealer. The price was equal to online and the...

    Formula 1, Moto GP, WSB, 2021 Season

    I think it'll be very interesting to see how goes for Perez. He's had a cracking couple of years, but he also went a bit mental when Ocon had him under the cosh.... although it's possible they were as bad as each other for taking the other out. I like Albon and think he's had a tough year...but...

    Formula 1, Moto GP, WSB, 2021 Season

    You have to hope for Daddy Stroll that Vettel can rediscover his form/mojo or it could be a long year for Racing Point. Stroll junior might be hoping that he doesn't find too much form or he'll be looking like a number two driver again, very quickly.

    s124 OMG Do they come much better?

    Agreed, that seller alternates between luckycars and Gary (with some numbers after it). There's probably shill bidding going on but if I lived locally I'd go and have a look and then set a budget. I'd be very wary of bidding without viewing....

    New W211 wheel

    Update is that I have found someone who will weld it but I've also found a "like new" wheel relatively locally and so bought that.

    New W211 wheel

    Apparently it's a no on the welding front...I had a small crack in that same wheel and had it welded 2 years ago. Unfortunately there's now a crack on that weld, plus another one 2-3 inches away and then a third one 6-8 inches away. The welding place said they don't think it's safe to repair due...

    New W211 wheel

    Evening all, my car has been in today for various bits of work on the front end today. Mainly booked in for two new front tyres and getting the tracking sorted. On investigation, I need various front end suspension bits, which is fine. However, one of my front wheels has three cracks in...

    Second car

    It's a 51 plate e320CDI estate. It's pretty tired and probably only worth £7-800. From talking to several insurance companies, it seems it's just too cheap/crap! I had several quotes which were for significantly more than what the car cost...some were double the purchase price.

    Thinking of buying E Class estate; advice welcomed.

    I got halfway through and then realised it was from 2016. That's some serious research 😜 Good work on the purchase.

    Second car

    Thanks for the replies everyone. I ended up going with Chris Knott and getting a deal through the MB Owners Club. It seems the S210 I bought falls through the cracks a bit as it's not quite old enough for a classic/modern classic policy but too cheap/crap for a standard policy. I also think my...

    Second car

    To be clear, my E55 is insured with direct line and that policy isn't due for renewal until May. DL quoted well over £500 using their "multi-car" discount. I've been on comparison sites and got a quote for about £370...it's just slightly annoying as my E55 is less than a hundred quid more than...
