Hi, Did the like for like battery require coding or did you just swap old with new? Today a Res battery warning displayed on the dash and I suspect it could be down to the battery...

She's bought herself a BMW. . . :eek: Winter wheel bump

Hi everyone, My wife is selling her winter wheel set from her R172 SLK but I believe these sizes will fit R171 models too but please check yourself. 4 Dezent TD 17" 7.5J ET40 alloys wheels with Continental Winter Contact TS860 tyres 225/45 R17 91 H with approximately 7.5mm tread left (they were...

Have you seen the Oz wheels in this thread? They look ace [emoji41] W204 C63 Fire Opal Red Project thread. W204 C63 Fire Opal Red Project thread.

How can the fuel of the devil be great in anything other than trains or HGVs?! .....Lies. Lies and heresy I say:p

Lexus GSF?

I'm in the same situation. Same mileage, same age, same car and I've not had a problem either. If the warranty is less than £100 PCM and you won't miss the money then maybe it's worth the cash even only for selling it on at some point should you find a motor you fancy. Alternative is having a...

It must've been twitching like a rabbits nose! Good on you mate, ballsy in this weather :D

I tried a MY17 GTR recently and I was sold almost immediately- it's a different kind of fast compared to a C63. MY17 interior is leaps ahead of the older GTR models and whilst it's not as good as the C63, it's not bad either- i'd even go as far to say the door cards are better than in our cars...

I'm not sure what premium the 507 holds but you could get a standard model and get a Eurocharged map for £550 from MSL at the minute and have 95% of the 507 performance (all the bhp but not the lightweight engine internals) and have a wad of change if £10k is the premium. Doubt you could notice...

Yeah I did mine with smooth black hammerite. Dead easy to do with them on the car. Just make sure to do a few mm onto the surface where the wheel bolts to as its exposed when the wheel is back on.

**WHY DO PEOPLE INSIST ON MAKING CAR ADVERTS IN BLOCK CAPITALS?** IT'S LIKE THEY'RE SHOUTING SAME WAY AS THE TW@T ON THE CILLIT BANG ADVERTS. Anyway, I'm guessing it's an impostor. Nice car all the same though from the looks of it.

Same here. GoSkippy were the most competitive this year by a fair amount. £346 for the year which isn't bad.

So some feedback here. Main stealer seem happy to do the work with supplied parts, didn't question anything. Labour is £450 for the three hours work so only saves £68. Maybe not worth the hassle but I'll ponder it.

Never knew that. £1104 for two services is the quote online (tried the code AMG150 but that's expired it seems) so would make the A service next year £373 which I think is a bit steep given there are no additional items required next time. Any idea how much a standard A service is? That takes...

Thanks for the input guys, appreciated. I did consider a service plan but I doubt I'll have the car another 3 years. Would benefit the next owner for sure and maybe a good selling point when the time I guess but wouldn't make sense for me at the minute as a cost reduction exercise. I'll get in...

Hi guys My car needs a service next month, a rather expensive B service and also requires spark plugs and brake fluid. How do I go about having the work done at MB (I want to have main dealer service history so no indie) but supplying my own OEM parts? Can I just call and request a quote and...

Is there not a tread wear number on the tyre wall to indicate how soft the compound is? Could compare MPSS to OE tyres to see which one is softer.

WD40 might work too

Says in the title buddy: R172. Specifically 2015 '15 plate.
