Whilst I do like my S class, I have to admit to feeling somewhat resentful that I am asked to pay to subscribe to a service that my previous car managed at a lesser level for free. I have to say my experience has been that it is no better than the old tmc free version so you can imagine my...

Hi all, I am selling my Custom indoor fleece cover that was custom made for my C63 AMGs which I have alas now sold. it is all black with silver piping and with the Mercedes’ logo in the front. The inner side is soft fleece and protects the car very well. It is specifically cut for the C...

Hey guys I have recently alas hit a deer with my car which cracked my headlight lens. Such is life. I have purchased one recently from Ebay and the LED code for coding the lamp is not there to my horror (and was removed since the ad images). In this instance, I am refitting my existing...

Hi all I wonder if I am the only one suffering this. My car is a 66 plate S350 and connects to Internet via my Samsung s9+. The Internet connects the car fine via Bluetooth or USB, and in both cases the very few Internet apps (ie weather and radio) work fine. However, if I try to use the...

Hey all, I have an E350cgi which I have had for rather a long time now, and I am having increasing issues with my Distronic radar guided cruise control. In a nutshell, as most will know, the Distronic system can temporarily shut itself down in very adverse weather conditions (due to natural...

Hi all I am very disappointed to report that MB have to introduced an age limit on their extended warranties. Swines! I have always kept my SL under warranty and latest letter advises me that warranty cannot be renewed due to car age (must be 10 years or under now). Very frustrating as they...

If the government required everybody to carry a gadget that contained all our most personal information and could record our every movement we would surely reject it and yet we have mobile phones that do just that! (And we chose to carry them!) And what in God's name is wrong with the world...

Hey folks One for the MB think tank! I have an E350 (petrol fwiw) W212 2010 year with distronic amongst other bits and pieces. The old girl has been most faithful and is approaching 200k miles. Even so, whilst most things work fabulously the distro is becoming a little difficult of late...

Hey fellas, I thought I would post this to get a feel of the general views of the board. The poll relates very much to the Medium Hot AMG Cars, and not the "AMG Sport" of every car in the range down to the entry level damn diesels. What this survey is NOT about In the case of the latter, as...

Hey folks. I have finally taken the plunge and acquired an SL55 AMG. Along the way I reckon I have read the vast majority of what there has been written about these cars (and there has been rather a lot!). I have read bold claims and more modest claims, and I have seen good videos, and...

Hi guys The SL55 is an occasional use car and as we enter the winter it will be used less and less. The accessory battery is connected to a conditioner but i wonder if i should get a second one for the starter battery as well? What do others do? Ta James

Hi guys Need to get a pair of anthracite mats for my SL55 and accordingly popped into the local dealership to be told by parts dept that they are no longer made ! Does anybody know where I can get some? I have only a driver's mat as the previous owner appears to have removed the passenger...

Hi guys As above really. My cousin was won over by the soundtrack of my SL55 and was looking at the modern options and has stumbled onto the above. How does it compare to the coupe and thoughts generally? As ever - all input appreciated. J

Hey folks I am a new owner of the above so please be gentle. Symptoms feel like the supercharger cuts out after some vigorous acceleration (if i accel from standstilk to say 100mph on a track of course the supercharger will be off before I make it). Noise becomes muted, Drive normally for a...

Hi all As above really - I bought a kit which I have used on various cars with reasonable results but have little comparable evidence. Has anybody else used and compared to other products of a mid-field nature? J

As above! I have a w212 e350 which I need to replace and don't want a diesel or a 4 cyl engine (and hybrids are no good for our current company policy due to the ridiculous mpg claims). For me the choices now are either an e43 or an e63! Much as I would love either of the above they are...

Hi guys I have finally taken the plunge and acquired an 05 edition of the above and I am keen to have it derestricted though have no burning desire to tune it. Any recommendations for a cost effective outfit for the above ? I am west country based if geography matters. Thanks in advance! James

Hi guys As above really - has anybody done the good old chip tune? If so, was it worth it (efficiency and performance wise) Last time I did this was on a C32 where I discovered little gain in either department! JJ
