    Amazing rusty bolt removal home remedy

    You all might already know this but i was amazed when doing a bit of DIY fault diagnosis and repair on my Navarra pickup. Basically CEL came in and pointed to EGR issues and Bank 1 02 sensor (buying a proper OBD device was a shrewd move!) So I bought a new 02 sensor and set about trying to fit...

    Mercedes 'approved' tyres question - E63S

    So I ordered 4 new tyres off *a well known internet supplier* last night. The ones selected are the same as the ones coming off the car - Michelin Pilot Sport 4S all round. However they contacted me this morning to say they had 2 types of the same tyre, one of which was MB approved but both...

    Check engine light on MY2018 E63S

    Car went into limp mode on drive home from work today. Re-started and everything fine, so into Sport+ mode and a little 'encouragement' to clean things out. Got home, parked up at home, all OK. Got in an hour later to take kids to cinema and CEL comes on, stays on and was still on when...

    E63S edition one trigger pulled

    Got my order in on one of these wee beasties. Decided against all the driver assistance packs to plomp for the rawer model. Traded my S63 coupe which was fantastic but how can one turn down >600bhp with AWD? Pics to follow in early September (I hope!)

    Traction control switch?

    Found out last week at Worsley Park golf club that wet overflow parking area (a field) and 577 bhp do not mix! Fortunately it's only half an hour from home so wifey popped to Halfrauds for a towrope and brought her RR Sport to tow me out (very very easy to do with that thing's ratios and...

    Newbie S63 AMG coupe ownet

    Just a quick 'hi'. Took delivery of my 16 plate car last week to replace the 14 plate Bentley v8s GTC. Early impressions are very positive. Well equipped, roomy, comfortable and feels like it will be quite rapid (still running in so not going daft). More when I figure out how to edit off my...
