Micro scalextric is too small for a 5 yr old. By him a cheap kids one and get yourself a full on tamya R/C car.....big toys for big boys!

From my experience in the motor trade (a few years back now!) it is all about the 'expected' future value of the car. This will ALWAYS be a trade value and the dealer will marrk this up or down depending on service history, condition, milage etc. They shouldn't mark down the value of your car...

Two stars looks messy to me. Change the grille and keep the gunsight....

Perfect thanks.

I had the same problem 2 weeks after buying my W124. Assuming the ignition hasn't already been changed in the past you can order a new barrell for about £70 from MB with a copy of the log book and chassis No. However, although the job should be really simple as long as you can get the key to...
