Seems I got lucky then!! But for now I don't need to worry about that, just enjoy my petrol car and wait for the temperature to go up a bit!

I had a 2015 C250 estate that was adblue that had no problems whatsoever in 2 years - was I lucky or do they have a lot of issues?

Hi Neil, I just thought 2 turbos and over 300bhp would be a change from diesel - my last petrol car was a SL500, i like v engines. Also most of the diesels I saw with the red roof had red seats - I'm not a red seat person!!! It won't get used a great deal so running costs aren't an issue.

Evening all, I've been away for a couple of years of owning a Porsche Panamera and decided it was time to go back to what I know and love. I've now got an E400 convertible (2014 3.0 twin turbo) and I absolutely love it - I was going to get the E350 CDi but couldn't resist this beast! I've got a...

That's great, thanks for the answer. Couldn't do it today because it decided to rain on my day off but at least when I do get around to it I know what to do.

Hi all, I know it's been asked and discussed to death but I've got a problem with the vario roof on my 2003 SL500. It all started a few weeks ago when I took the boot lock out to sort out a central locking problem. I inadvertently dislodged one of the flaps inside the boot lid and the roof...

Evening all, About to change my discs and pads on my R230 tomorrow and (I know it's been asked lots of times but I can't seem to find a definitive answer) wanted to check what's the best thing to do about the SBC system. Some people say just unplug it, some say follow the procedure of spinning...

Like Optimus I have two of them in my car and both bone dry. But definitely lots of condensation. I'm going to buy a small electric dehumidifier this week and run that, see if it works out better.

Cheers Coalville, so how do you run a power lead into the car without having windows open? That's what I want to do but can't work out a way without breaching the seals.

As I said, carpets are dry all the way through and the water trap under the bonnet is bone dry. I bought a couple of those little dehumidifier boxes but they don't seem to be making any difference. I know the best answer is to keep it in a garage but mine's too small, and full of motorbikes, so...

Morning all, I'm sure this has been asked/discussed lots before but I have a car full of the dreaded condensation. I've dried it all out and thought I'd cured it - turns out leaving the windows open 1/4 inch stops it, which is great until it rains!!! I've had a look at the tray on the nearside...

Afternoon all, I'm looking for a wind deflector for my 03 SL500. Anyone got one for sale, as the ones on ebay seem a bit pricey - or has anyone bought one of the ones from Germany that are about £150? I'm not desperate to get one but it's on the list. Thanks guys.

I am now officially classed as stupid - hit the limiter by mistake when I was driving today and then once I'd pulled the end of the stick about a bit the light went out. Now I have fully functional cruise control and speed limiter!! D'oh!!!

Yeah I just ordered one from Germany. Says it's a brand new item and cost me £20 including delivery - hopefully it's the right one. Now all I have to do is work out how much of the car I have to take to bits to fit it!!

Well that would be unexpected!! Does anyone know a good link to a MB parts list, or is it better just to call the dealers?

Thanks Richard, I don't have VR on it, just the normal stick. I'll have a look and see what I can find in the way of used - I have a massive aversion to buying brand new MB parts!!

Well guys thanks for the replies but I know how the system works, or is supposed to work - I've had a W203 and an R129 before this one and the light on the stick is on (limiter selected) no matter what I do and no matter which direction I push the stick. Is there a simple alternative to...

Thanks for the reply Stratman, I've tried that but nothing changes - the light still won't go off.

Hi all, I've just picked up a 2003 SL500 and while I'm completely happy with it it seems the cruise control won't work. The stick has the yellow light on which I'm assuming means the limiter is on, and if I press it in to select cruise the light doesn't go out. Is there an easy way to fix this...

Yeah I think the H&R could be the way to go. What size are the wheels in those pictures?
