Anyone else going to Goodwood on 1st March? We've just had out acceptance to display on the motor circuit which is nice! Only ever been to breakfast club once last year so will be interesting to display next to all the Lambos and McLarens this time.

OK so it's apples and oranges, but a really interesting video none the less:

I'm pretty certain I have an undiagnosed generalised anxiety disorder, and it's come to light recently as I've had a kind of "moment of clarity" around it, realising that I've created an environment whereby I've lost a really good friend at work due to my paranoia. Has anyone else dealt with...

Did the "F4 Master" driving experience at Brands yesterday, have to say it was awesome! 15 minutes in an M4 with an instructor then 15 minutes in the Formula 4 single seater. I previously did a thing at Thruxton in a single seater, 4 speed manual - this one was much nicer, proper Cosworth racing...

Back in my Supra days it was all about the Goodyear Eagle F1, but I haven't really thought about tyres lately and the CLS has only had MB recommended Contis as replacements. So what should I go for now the fronts need changing? The Continental rears still have lots of tread. I was thinking...

My alloys need refurbing, the polished front is pitted and horrible. The mobile refurb bloke said he'd diamond cut the face to take off the lacquer and bring it back to a good finish, then we just need to use wheel sealant to stop it happening again. He said re-lacquering would mean it would...

So I've just discovered my nearside intake hose is mangled and I think it had been sucked in at some point recently. I will probably just get a new one, but is it worth getting a pair? Are there any solid parts that anyone knows of to replace these? I've seen aftermarket full carbon intake...

Do other AMGs open the sunroof when you floor it? Or is it just the CLS?

So I now have a cracked rear alloy, and I've always thought mine were different to stock - and now I need to know what to order if it can't be repaired! Usually the C218/X218 have these alloys: Every picture I've found on Google image search and Autotrader shows those alloys, and they're...

Does anyone know why my bluetooth audio connection might be a bit crackly? It's almost as if a speaker is blown, in fact I thought one of them was at first - it only seems to be the midrange which sounds bad. As soon as I switch to CD it's fine at any volume. I also thought it was only happening...

It seems like the tints on the front of the CLS are pretty illegal, but they also seem like a factory option, and I've seen the same level of tint on almost all other CLS (the few times I've seen them). Did they really come from the factory that dark? I'm sure they would be more than 30% which I...

We're selling beasty #2. 2007 BMW 335i M-Sport convertible (e93) in Sparkling Graphite Metallic, with the rare interior colour combination of Cream Beige Dakota Leather and Grey Poplar Wood trim, and shiny 19” alloy wheels. 3.0l twin turbo inline 6: the well known N54 engine, paddle shift...

I don't know much about exhausts, I had a "cat back" system on a previous car which was nice - do people still do that now there are about 27 cats in the exhaust? I had a quote for a decat and res delete, but it's basically cutting out the cat/res and replacing it with a chunk of stainless tube...

I'm getting a rotational chuffing / rubbing noise, sounds a bit like a "wah wah" and appears to match wheel speed. Can hear it at around 27mph usually, also 36 and 45 - which has a worrying hint of resonance about it - above that it's either too high frequency or drowned out by other noises...

How do I know if I've got an LSD? It's not on the original options list, but I've never had a problem with traction - although I usually leave the t/c on so I wouldn't know.

Wife doesn't like my dodgy photoshop attempts. I think black looks better on a white car than the chrome. I also did headlight smoke tints. Thoughts?

I'm reliably informed that it's normal, but it feels horrible - the gearbox has a very bad change from 2nd to 3rd (in comfort mode) maybe 50% of the time, depending on throttle. It's actually quite a skill to get it to pull away smoothly! Putting your foot down seems to work. It also kangaroos...

8" Kenwood sub in ported box. 570w - 340h - 210/330d. 10" sub box (hole is 283mm diameter). 410w - 360h - 205/305d. Bit tatty this one. Various audio cabling. Free but obviously dependent on collection as they're heavy. A donation to WSF or maybe Marie Curie or a Mesothelioma...

Is it a good idea to buy black letter badging on Amazon or eBay? They look a bit cheap and plastic and some of the reviews are pretty bad (double sided tape is too thick usually). Presumably the ones I would get from Mercedes would be better quality? Anyone know prices I'm likely to find? Any...

Do we ever have Fairmile meets in the MB community? There used to be a lot of different car clubs that met up on the green outside, but I haven't been since my days on the MG-Rover and MKIV Supra clubs - probably 15 years ago! The Fairmile is a pub in Cobham, just inside the M25 at the top of...
