    W220 Wanted - S500, S600, S55, S65 slight pref. for LWB.

    After all but signing on the doted line last year, after finding a nice S500L but having to abandon at the last minute due to family circumstances, I'm back on the hunt for a decent W220.

    Why are wheel nuts tightened so much that they're almost impossible to get off?

    I had a puncture last night at slow(ish) speed when I misjudged a sharp kerb and hit the corner of it trying to fit in a narrow parking place. Anyway it was a complete and immediate deflation. When I got out the car to change the tyre it started to rain heavily( of course it did ). During the...

    What to do if you see a car for sale from a dealer that you know has been clocked?

    I had a w220 2004 professionally inspected last November. It had done 43,000 miles back then and was being used daily. Fast forward to now and it is being advertised by a dealer as having a genuine 32,000 miles and that HPI appears to corroborate. The clocking has been cleverly done as prior to...

    Recommendation for a pre-purchase inspection of a post-facelift W220 S55L in Essex?

    Morning. I've been looking for a good late W220 S500 for a while now. I currently drive a 1999 W220 S430, with which I have had almost 60,000 miles trouble free miles, but it is crumbling away with rust and not economically recoverable. I have grown to be very fond of this car and I'll be very...
