You can get occasional jerks on downshifts from 2nd to 1st, under certain conditions. You learn when and how this happens and how to avoid. It is a non issue. The 7g box is over all in a different class to the 5g, The difference between the 220 and 280 is not minimal, I would say it is...

Our family expanded a couple of weeks ago so I had to buy a X5 to fit everyone in :) So I'm selling our old family car we had for the last 7 years, it has been a great car. It's very tight, zero rattles or squeaks. Drives lovely. Sport Edition - This was the top spec model in the run out...

I must've seen a different video? The one I saw; Renault: supermarket 95 octane 81hp, BP 97 octane 81hp, Shell 98 octane 81hp Golf: 72, 74, 77 Impreza: 235, 248, 249 Fuel octane levels as suggested in the video. (Ican't see the video linked to here, the one I saw was presented by Jon...

No idea :) Not in the AMG tuning scene at all, but given that my 3.6 GT2 makes 600 which could easily (not cheaply) be taken to 750, and seriously tuned Porsche turbo engines displacing around 4l making in excess of 1000 hp, I'm just assuming a seriously tuned 5.4l AMG would be able to atleast...

Not really touchy mate, but it's boring with people making out of context commenting, or not bothering to read and understand what another thread contributer is saying. The thread is not about what in your mind is highly tuned engine, its not an arbitrary argument. In context of this...

There is nothing more boring then people posting in threads they have no interest in, just to make a smart **** comments or try and twist other peoples words and misquote to make a completely irrelevant point. A. I never said the engine is not tuned, it's obviously tuned. B. The engine is NOT...

That would be great, but I'm just back from holidays then. Last day tomorrow in fact, wohoo! I'll pm you when back and see if I can make a later event! Cheers

Where did I say it wasnt tuned? :dk: You probably didn't read and understand the topic, and clearly didn't read my post properly. Let me spell it out to you. This thread is about the perceived or otherwise difference between supermarket and 'branded' fuel. From my experience, this is 95%...

That doesn't make it highly tuned, it's just that you've made the engine work a little better then how it came from the factory, where it was designed to last 100s of thousands of miles, not for outright performance. (I am sure it's looads of fun though :thumb: ). You're still only making some...

Yes but I was commenting on you finding differences in power between different fuels. This i find very unlikely. 740 hp out of a 6l engine is not highly tuned, certainly not tuned enough to find differences in pump fuel of the same ron. It's when you push engines closer to the limits that the...

Absolutely. When you are tuning your race engines.. As high octane fuel burns slower, more controlled, it will let you run higher compression and more aggressive timing. In your road car however it will be useless, and probably make the car slower. Maybe some modern car with learning ecu will...

I would love to see those dyno graphs, tested back to back on the same dyno yes?

Sorted, thanks!

Yes the bit on the boot floor. OK that's pretty much where I got to, I suppose you need a fair bit of force to pry it off? I had a fair tug at it but wouldn't budge, gonna go and go at it with a screwdriver then! Thanks!

Tha hoop thing that the tailgate catches on is very loose on my car, how do I get to the bolts holding it? I've removed the 4 screws holding the surrounding trim but it won't budge and even if it did, is that the right way to go about it? Thanks

25 quid for a pattern part, MB wanted 300 to change mine!!

Thanks, I'll have a go at the weekend then. Cheers

Is there a guide out there on how to do this on a 2006 c class? Will I need any special tools? Am I likely to find other issues/need other parts? The belt is cracked from age. I found this, that for a GL. Is it the same prcedure and as easy as that seems...

Mine is at around 80k as well. Is this really a 2 hour job? Might do it myself, or is it difficult doing it properly if you are not familiar with this?
