    Geniune AMG 18” monoblock wheels x4

    Hi All I’m a long time member but not been around much for a long while as sadly I moved on from SLs about three years ago, having owned several 129s - SL320, SL500 and the glorious SL60 AMG (actually I owned two of these as one was stolen!!).

    SL for £10-12k: 129 or 230????

    Mate of mine's got his E350cdi in for a service today (at an MB dealer) - 32k miles on an 18 month old car. He is being told he needs a gearbox oil and filter change. Does this sound right? I thought MB gearboxes usually went a good 60-70k miles without even starting to think about...
