    Short runs in my W211 270CDI.

    Good evening all, Since changing jobs I no longer have to wake up at the crack of dawn for a 1.5 hour one way commute on the M4, 5 days a week, which is good. My faithful 270CDI was taking on some mileage, but what a great car to be commuting in. I was getting around 45-47 MPG (some times...

    Space saver wheel for 03 W211 E-Class

    Can one get a space saver wheel for an 03 W211 E-Class? There's space for one in the boot, but the car never came with a spare, just the repair kit. With the kind of mileage I do, I don't want to be without a spare. Any advice will be appreciated. Many thanks.
