    SL R230 Wind Deflector

    For Sale is the wind deflector from my 09 SL350. Genuine MB part, in good used condition. One small hole in the mesh about 3mm across, as shown. No Bag, but I had it fitted to the car 100% of the time. I'd like to get £150 for it but I'm open to reasonable offers. Thanks for looking...

    'Elf and Safety.

    Went to my local branch of Travis Perkins yesterday of a couple of lengths of achitrave. I took the Hilux pickup as I needed 3.6 metre lengths. Anyway, after paying for the wood, I was standing in the pickup bed strapping everything in when I was, politely, asked to get down as their new H &...

    Another BMW replacepent.

    My 1998 540i is due for an MOT this month. If it passes OK I'll keep it for a while, but, if it needs anything expensive doing, it will go the "spares or repairs" route. I quite like the idea of a CLS 500, but my budget will only run to an 05/06. Is this likely to be as good a buy as my...

    M1 Variable Speed Limits

    Took a trip from the midlands to London today, there and back on the M1. On the way there, the variable limits were in operation between Luton and Hemel, slowing us down to 50 for several miles. The gantry signs said something about an accident, but there was no evidence of one. No Police, no...

    Quit Kit Ads

    Just been browsing through a number of threads. On a high percentage of the ones I looked at, the ad that came up next to the first post was the one for the smoking quit kits. I just wonder about the logic of showing some of the most desireable cars in the world next to a malignant tumor?

    German and Swedish Ggggrrrrrr

    My son's r170 has been having tracking and steering problems for a while. It's also worn the inner edges off a set of front tyres. He decided to replace the track rod/idler rod assembly, the idler arm bearing, and the steering damper. Took a couple of hours to get it all stripped down...

    r171 front anti-roll bar

    I noticed today that the front anti-roll bar on my SLK has an extra, unused hole at each end, which looks like a drop link fixing hole. Assuming this is correct, moving the drop links to the currently unused holes would shorten the ends of the a/r bar, making it stiffer. So, my question...

    W170 SLK 230 auto oil leak

    My sons SLK has developed a substantial oil leak which he is convinced is from the auto box sump gasket. The thing that worries me is that he did an engine oil change last weekend and a lot of the oil that's leaked out seems to be clean engine oil! I've told him to give it a good clean...

    Police Driving??

    Just witnessed an interesting incident. Driving on a single carriageway road, 50mph speed limit, moderate traffic. In front, a van doing about 40/45mph. Behind a BMW 5 series, and behind him a marked police car. There was a gap in the opposite direction traffic and the BM overtook both...

    New SLK owner

    Hi Guys, Just wanted to say hello. I've recently taken delivery of my new, to me, SLK280, just in time for some good weather!! It's an 07 plate, one owner with 16,000 miles on the clock in dark blue. This is my first Mercedes. I've had, dare I say it, BMWs and Jags for the last few years.
