    W203 Front Indicator Bulb Holder Mod - Tech Help Needed Please!

    I have had an ongoing problem with the car thinking that the O/S front indicator bulb has blown and the foglamp acting as a substitute. The problem doesn't happen all the time but MOT time is drawing near and the problem is becoming more frequent. It sometimes clears after turning ignition off...

    Taking a Mercedes in a hot climate - need to do anything?

    Not been in a stretched one. This is one of those airport limo's, which in reality is simply an LPG powered Proton Waja (Impian in the UK) with a cheap chocolate brown leather interior. Much better than some of the death trap Saga's being used as taxi's in KLCC. It's also quite a newish one but...

    Taking a Mercedes in a hot climate - need to do anything?

    I've had the quote back for shipping - £850 in an exclusive container, shipping time approx 25 days + marine insurance. So far, so good. I just need to know what the MY Govt will sting me.....

    Taking a Mercedes in a hot climate - need to do anything?

    I know but I just cannot bring myself to buy a Proton. An automatic is an absolute necessity in KL. I've thought about the driver option but I would like the freedom to take off at weekends and drive to the likes of Penang or Langkawi. I have a good driver there already and he is cheap (£6 per...

    Taking a Mercedes in a hot climate - need to do anything?

    I don't entirely agree with this. Personal taxation is similiar to the UK system with a sliding scale. The top rate is 22% but salaries reach the tier almost immediately therefore there is no real effective sliding scale as most people simply pay 22% flat, unlike the UK where there is a tax free...

    Taking a Mercedes in a hot climate - need to do anything?

    The question of what is the percentage based on is one I'm waiting for a reply from the Malaysian Customs from. I'm hoping it is current UK value but I have a sneaking suspicion it will be current Malaysian value.Easy option is to buy something out there but buy what? An 8 year old C class for £16k?

    Taking a Mercedes in a hot climate - need to do anything?

    Problem is folks, the Malaysian Govt normally impose a restriction that the car cannot be sold for up to 24 months. Nice idea though........

    Taking a Mercedes in a hot climate - need to do anything?

    Mattc - I'll be staying in the outskirts of KL (most likely Damansara) and yes, you are totally correct the driving is by feel but there are remarkably few accidents considering. Yes, I will have off road parking. As for staying pristine, we'll have to reserve judgement on that ;) . I will have...

    Taking a Mercedes in a hot climate - need to do anything?

    Thanks for the answer. Aircon is ice cold and rust is being sorted under Mobilo cover as I type. I'll find out about coolant %. When it comes back from the MB body shop it should look brand new, which makes me even more determined to keep it. Perodua or Merc? Mmmmmmmm, let me think for a...

    Taking a Mercedes in a hot climate - need to do anything?

    Someone on here may know the answer to this.... I have been working in Malaysia for the past 4 months flying back and forth. The plan is to move there in March 2009 and live there full time. My dilemma is that cars in Malaysia are damned expensive unless you want a Proton or Perodua. Now...

    Inspiron suddenly died

    I was away working so when I got home the fuse was the first thing I checked. Light on the adapter was on so the fuse was fine.....:confused: After much head scratching I started to check the obvious. Turns out the wife inavertantly pulled out the power lead from the back of the pc & never...

    CLEAR polish / wax

    I bought & used Turtle Wax Platinum after reading the reviews in Auto Express. Buy two bottles - the standard white polish has a slight cutting edge in it. The high gloss bottle is a very thin wax which buffs off without leaving residue & keeps water beading for months. Only £10 per bottle & the...
