    Not a good day..

    My W221 S500

    Great Car! Im a W221 driver too but dreaded the V8 fuel bills as I can end up doing some 30K per year, when everyone isn't hiding at home due to Covid!! I went S320 LWB for the engine. I have HK 7 and think i may have a peek at the Amp and check for any water ingress!!
