    New Tyres- Mitchelin are definately quieter

    Definitely agree with above statement. Might be a personal thing but after trying a few sets of tyres (michelin PS2, Bridgestone RE050A, Goodyear F1-gs3, yokohama advan sport and a couple of others I can't remember) end up always going back to the conti SC3. In my personal opinion best...

    Koni FSDs

They where eventually replaced with the yellow koni's with a 30% discount. On smooth highway would rate them equally. Nice taught feel and...

    Koni FSDs

    My experience is not Merc related so take it with a pinch of salt. On former VW found there to be a wide range of gen parts from the as good as OEM to the very bad, most of the time not being able to figure out good from bad. Eventually didn't bother and bought directly from dealer.

    Hi, No the actual screan is different. The standard screan has 2 lenses bonded to it, the rain sensor version screen has 10. The bracket for light sensor will be same size for both versions, but your missing the lenses for the rain sensor.
