    Floppy three pointy star!

    The bonnet star on my w126 is a bit floppy, not to the point of laying to one side but if I brush against it slightly it goes over. Can these be tightened up? need Viagra for a 300se I think!

    Carpet cleaner de-odour needed

    Well thank you all for your recommendations, I think Neutradol will be my weapon of choice! I wonder if A210AMG really did use a 'Hoover'? or another vaccum? it seems even today 'Hoovering' is what you do no matter what make it actually is?
