    CLK 209 roof bars wanted

    I have a set of these. They are in the roofspace of the garage, but if you give me a day or so, I’ll lift them down to make sure everything is there. D

    Mercedes Specialists NI?

    Just saw this. NMG in Dunmurry has looked after all my Mercs over the years and has done the same for several chums. He is an AMG mechanic and genuinely knows his stuff. Even better, he is very fair on price and will never overcharge. In fact, I have had to make him take more than he asked on...

    [SOLD] CLK55 AMG

    A quick update for those who have asked. The car now has a fresh MOT. I really need this gone, as I have another car incoming and simply will not have the space. Therefore, price reduction to £7995. D

    Home interior lighting suppliers

    Try J R Lighting in Newry. Huge range of lighting available and I would be surprised if you couldn’t find something to suit. They can also order in, if nothing suitable in stock. No association by the way! D

    R 231 Replacement Headlight

    Thanks chaps. Mine is as per the image above. I may have to bite the bullet on a new one, as I would imagine this would knock the trade-in value significantly. D

    R 231 Replacement Headlight

    Hi all After much discussion with my much better half, I have decided to change the SL. Went out for a run earlier in the week and a piece of road debris cracked the driver’s side headlight lens. Wonderful! I priced the part with MB and it’s coming in at around £1200. It’s the ILS system I...

    Music Streaming

    I use Qobuz and Tidal, both hi-Rez, controlled via Roon. I started off with Tidal and added Qobuz later. I find Tidal is much more orientated towards US music - R&B, rap and US rock, whereas Qobuz is extremely good for classical, folk and the less mainstream. Tidal also employs MQA for their...

    2003 E Class

    Thanks JP. I spent some time trawling the owners forums and any issues were minor and infrequent. Of course, Lexus owners may not be inclined to complain as a rule! D

    2003 E Class

    Just to round the thread off, I decided that if I were to buy a winter car, it should be jeep of some shape or form. Looked at several ML's in an attempt to keep it in the family. However, all I viewed went from leggy to dog-rough. Sooo.. I ended up buying a Lexus RX! FSH, all the conceivable...

    What about a Carcoon? They can be bought with a frame,which means the bubble doesn't need to be deflated if you want to work on the car. They also come with a built -in battery charger. D

    CLK 55 w209 advice

    These engines will do huge miles, so long as servicing is carried out as per the Assyst Plus. In some ways a low mileage car would be more of a concern, as it may have been standing for long periods. These cars like to be used on a regular basis. ATF change is a must and it is noticeable if it...
