I’ve noticed this behaviour the last couple of times I’ve driven the car. Car is up to temp Pull away <10 mph the car will move forwards, very lightly press the accelerator and the revs rise slightly but the car doesn’t accelerate. This seems to last for a few secs ( im approaching a junction)...

Thanks Castor, looking at it with the surround off it did look that way (and I think I've read it's a bumper off job on the C63 somewhere in the past but I can't find it. It's due an A service and some recall work so will add that to the list.

I managed to hit a Phesant and the drivers side DRL has given up the ghost. No visible external damage to the car, (unlike the Phesant) so I've followed the instructions here to remove the surround but there's no obvious way for me to remove the lighting unit. I wondered if it was maybe just a...

Yep, likewise I had 2 Conti SC5p MO rears rears fitted by the same tyre fitter about 6 weeks ago so was a bit surprised

Had the flashing AC light about 4 weeks ago and I do use the aircon. I took it to a local specialist in Derby who checked over the AC system, and found it was completely empty. He pressure tested it and then added UV agent to the gas to help spot any future leaks. About £35 IIRC and it's been...

Just spoken to a local tyre fitter who keeps raiding my bank account every 7k miles. I was looking for some Conti Sport Contact 235/35 19 MOs for the front of my C63 PPP. He says they're unavailable for him to order from 3 suppliers and suggested the Conti SC6's (non MO) or PZeros (MO) as an...

There are a couple of MB dealers on ebay who offer the PPP floating brakes (disks / pads) at a pretty good price compared to over the counter. I didn't know floating and 2 piece were interchangeable, but will just stick with floating. They work brilliantly on road. Never been on track (where...

Lots of good points there, thank you. When I bought the car I was left unimpressed by the salesman due to an "error" in the no of previous keepers which I only discovered on the V5 when it arrived. ( 3 rather than 2) and had no intention of going back there as a result. @bobbydazzler The...

Hi, I bought my C63 from a MB dealer almost 12 months ago. 3 years old and ~23k on the clock. It's now got ~32k on it I've just rung my local MB dealer for a "B5" Service and was quoted about ~£1150. Everything I've read on here suggested ~600 is nearer the norm so dug a bit deeper in to the...

in 12 Months, no regrets - C63 PPP Coupe It's all about the sound, and the fact it's completely understated is a bonus

Thanks for at least reaffirming what I was already thinking, and @amgeed for the spec. Having missed out on one 4 weeks ago, I thought I was sorted. :( I've had to go out for a nice meal to console myself. There are a lot of cars for sale but I'm a bit fussy on spec and I'm getting bored of...

HI all, After looking at a few cars I've found one almost on my doorstep; a white C63 coupe with the PPP and the LSD. The car's advertised with 45k miles, but a check on the DVLA site shows 15 k in March at its first MOT. The dealer's explained that being down to a "new chip" replacement...

Hi all, I'm looking for a facelift C63 Estate (but will also consider the coupe & saloon). The spec I'm after is: Magnetite Grey preferred or Tenorite Grey 19" Multispokes Porcelain or Sand single tone leather Carbon or Dark Wood (forget the name) interior trim pack HK Audio <30k...

Is that car at a dealer? I'm looking for an estate and haven't seen one with a sand interior on autotrader or the MB site. Thanks.

Congrats on your new car. I was watching your thread :) Which did you go for? ...Edit - Ignore that I've just read your update :) Very nice

Thanks Gazzy, I think I was basing that on the fact there are similar specced MB franchise dealer cars available for the same or less (and more obviously!). I'd be getting a MB warranty with those.

Hi all, I'm hoping to buy a FL C63 estate in the next few weeks. I'm not too fussy on spec, (I know what I like when I see it :) ) but does anyone know this car at imperials (magnetite black 2013) They've dropped it by 1k according to their website and but it looks a little pricey to me...
