Hi Renault12ts.....it's the fuel pipe which goes from the fuel tank, which was dripping fuel

Hi All, apologies for late response but just to update everyone, the issue turned out to be a corroded fuel pipe, which was leaking petrol very close to the exhaust !!! Got my indy to change the pipe ASAP - they didn't let me drive it anywhere, which was obviously the safest thing to do. So...

Hi there, I'd say buy it !!....then again I would as I have a TVR (Cerbera V8) and it's completely bonkers !! I've owned it for the last 12 or so years and been pretty reliable. just check the chassis for rust/damage and the engine runs fine without any smoke and you should be fine, at that...

Hi All, in response, the exhaust system isn't modified other than a resonator delete, and there are no check engine lights appearing - the cat's seem ok as it flew through the MOT emissions with no problems - before I had this issue. I'll check the charcoal filter and filler pipes as...

Hi Everyone, Looking for your collective thoughts and experience on a recent issue..... been driving the car this week as per usual and have noticed when I shut the engine down after a normal journey, I get a strong petrol smell coming from the back of the car - drivers side.....I've let the...

Hi All, I had terraclean done on my CL55K a couple of years ago and it's been brilliant. I saw the Wheeler Dealer episode and spoke to the company at the NEC (Classic Car show) to talk about the benefits, after a search there was a reputable company which did the process only 7 miles away...

Hi Guys Thanks for responses....in reply the pump doesn't run on after the doors are locked. The doors and boot get sucked in and stay there - they don't get released out again. Also, I've not tested the alarm as yet but will follow the guidelines when I get it back or may get the garage to...

Hi Dec, When the battery is dead in the morning the alarm is dead too, there is nothing - there's no power for even the boot light's to come on... it's a CL55 kompressor on a 53 plate Thanks Jitzz

Hi All, Just thought I'd ask for your collective experience as I have an intermittent problem with my central locking system or pump. The issue is that overnight the battery is being drained by the pump opening and closing the doors every 20 seconds or so. This also happened (only once) when...

Hi, I've got the CL55 Kompressor and had it for a number of years now (as a daily driver). I don't regret my decision to buy one at all - it's an awesome bit of kit !?! I'd thoroughly recommend one..... I went through the same thought process as you and went for the supercharged variant as the...

Hi Colinliya, If you can stretch the budget a bit more, then go for the kompressor version, the difference in power is HUGE !! I looked at both versions to and opted for the supercharged version - no brainer really !! and with the tuning potential, it becomes a great package. Also, the...

Hi All Spoke to the insurance company and they inform me that I'm not covered for Windscreen. :fail I'm sure I asked for this at the time of renewal as I have comprehensive cover. They are looking to go through the phone conversation recordings to confirm. So, up a certain creek without a...

Thanks for the replies guys !! Forgot about insurance thing, a great shout :doh: Will give them a call this morning and keep you all updated, if they do cover it, I'll also check that the NCD will still be intact as you advise. Although, at potentially over £700 (if I get it done myself)...

Hi All, Need you collective advice on getting a replacement windscreen for my AMG. I drove to work today and got hit by stone thrown up by an artic lorry !!! Now have a nice crack along the screen :mad: So, a replacement need to be sourced without remortgaging the family home. My car is a...

Hi MikeAMG, Sorry I don't have a close up picture, they simply replaced the resonators with a straight through pipe...great fabrication work and I thoroughly recommend it The exhaust note is fabulous and really brings out the V8 roar Jitzz

Hi All, I know this has been covered a number of times before, but I'm still going to post this anyway ! Customer service in this day and age is virtually non existent in most places I've been to and is a dying art in most organisations...but this is certainly NOT the case at MSL they really...

Hi AMGBimmer, I've got the CL55 Kompressor and don't regret the decision one bit - it's an awesome bit of kit !?! I'd thoroughly recommend one..... Mine gives me approx 20-25mpg on a mixed run of 'A' roads and motorways so not that bad for what it is. Best I've had on the computer was 28mpg -...
