Putting my dear wife on the insurance of my C63 (W204) dropped the premium so that worked well. As regards letting her drive the beast, of course, but when it returns the mpg from the last journey is sub 15 so I know she is pushing my baby. However, fair game since she has to put up with me...

Hit return by mistake. What I was trying to say is the C63 crosses all ages ;-)

Sorry for the silence chaps, just can't stop driving the machine :-) This is such an amazing car. Only yesterday I had a young boy and a post man say to me 'nice car'. The c63As for the chrome tips, my gut feel is the coating has been worn away - which is a shame since £1,400 for new rear...

Thanks for the rapid feedback guys. Autosol, brush, etc, but nothing works. I will post and picture over the weekend to get your thoughts on a warranty claim. It does look like the chrome finish has simply been removed from a portion of the exhaust tips - possibly a liquid but that takes some...

Just picked up my own C63 AMG w204 facelift three weeks ago. A stunning vehicle in every respect and your car looks amazing in that colour. I have been lucky enough to drive some of the most amazing cars on the planet and to date, the Ultima GTR has been top of the pile... but now it's in...

Hi Just picked up my C63 AMG W204 facelift. What an amazing car! It will be my daily driver for the next 4 years. (Fuel card helps :-)) The car is mint apart from two of the exhaust tips where the chrome has been discoloured leaving a bronze tint. In fact just on the driver's side Now...

I found the problem!!! It was the propshaft centre bearing. Cheap to fix but hours of effort. However, I decided to sell the car and opt for an upgrade - C63 AMG W204 facelift What a weapon :-)

OK, just to end the story Garage cannot find the source of the noise. Great. In fact the mechanic said he would not have picked it up if I had not said anything. Well that's how silky smooth Mercs are mate Suggested diagnosis was wait until it gets a lot worse and then we investigate again.

Sorry not Statman - Stratman As an additional note when I went to my local Mercedes Garage for the gearbox service kit they said I only needed 6 litres of oil - wrong. In fact you need 9. When I questioned the response the stores man said you do not have to drain the torque converter - we...

Thanks Statman - luv the picture. Well, gearbox service done today and looked long and hard for anything rubbing on prop or drive shafts - all looks clear. Have yet to check the brakes but again a possibility. However, my baby is going into the garage tomorrow for new front springs - one...

Thanks SMS - I wish this were the case but the noise was still there when the rear wheels were rotating in the air (car jacked up) Appreciate the help.

Thanks, I will check tomorrow when I'm under the car servicing the gearbox. But very good point - check the obvious first. I'll check the prop and drive shafts for any obstructions tomorrow morning when I'm servicing the box and report back. Nigel

Hi This is my first ever post - new member and all that but I have an issue which is baffling me. My car is a 2009 e280CDI Sport W211 (G7 box). Amazing car in every respect. I have done 60,000 miles in the car (now at 90,000) and have done all the servicing myself using Mercedes parts...
