The only problem with that spare is that the tyre is 16 years old so might be somewhat degraded. I made some enquiries regarding fitting a new Vredestein tyre on a Porsche spare wheel and was told that you can only buy the wheel and rim together , no chance of just replacing the tyre.

My wheels are always the last to get washed, with whatever is left in the wash bucket, usually a weak mix of Polar Wash. Always look great and with the occasional coating of wheel wax. I've never used a specific wheel cleaner . quick way to ruin centrecaps and accelerate any corrosion on...

My 6 day old E220d Coupe back in 2016 after 4 month wait for delivery. https://forums.mbclub.co.uk/attachments/img_1158a-jpg.58297/

The only problem with 4WD SUVs and Pick Ups is that some of the idiots behind the wheel think that they are immune from the simple laws of physics , ice and snow = limited grip , but blast on regardless.

As daveenty noted , perfect winter car would anything 4WD on winter tyres and not be averse to be bumped or scraped. I'm retired so wouldn't normally need to venture out if there was snow about but it's nice to know that if I did get caught out in it I'd have a suitable vehicle to hopefully cope...

My Macan is probably one of the best all rounders summer/winter. Currently fitted with with Michelin Alpin 5 tyres , 375bhp , 4WD , adjustable air suspension, off road mode, hill descent,heated seats front and rear, heated steering wheel and heated windscreen . Only drawback :- if there's that...

The construction company I worked for ,many moons ago, had a contract to carry out work at an abattoir and I had to visit site on occasions. I recall seeing about twenty calves being herded into the business end, the mooing sound was nothing like what I was used to , it was horrible, they could...

Might be a stupid question, but, AMG line cars usually have different wheel sizes/ tyre sizes back and front ??

My C207s were 2013 silver and 2016 white and the black pano roof was a plain contrast to these colours. I think with the grey on the C238 the short roof wouldn't be as noticeable.

The 9 speed on my C250 wouldn't go to 9 under 70mph (after software update) but you can manually upshift to 9th if you want.

I think you might be addressing your question to the wrong audience, surely even the decision to buy a MB rather than a Ford, Hyundai, Vauxhall or VW ( no offence to any owners of these cars) is not a sensible one. Buses pass my house every two hours and I have a free bus pass, I doubt very much...

I'm sure I could have pushed for a better p/ex price but the deal for the Macan was too good to miss. The usual " my car was immaculate" did actually apply to my C250, I'd only recently swopped out the Artico seats for a virtually brand new set in "real" black leather and put on stitched top...

Very smart , Black is great when it's clean.

Part exchanged my 2018 C250d 4matic (30,000 mile FSH) in April for £21,500 and went on sale with the MB dealership next door to the Porsche dealership for £24,500. It sold within about 4 days. WBAC offer in April was £21,500 and early December was £14,350 . I was happy with my deal , only paid...

Porsche have about 600 Taycans for sale with big discounts. Audi have about 1600 Q4e for sale with a £5000 deposit contribution. EVs aren't selling at the moment.

Appreciate your point above but things are/were somewhat complicated to compare. I'd ordered a new Macan T (2.0 version) with the P/ex price being price on delivery , probably Oct 23. If I'd wanted a Macan S (2.9 v6 version) delivery was quoted as March 24 and p/ex price on delivery. Porsche...

Just an update on the above - WBAC are now offering £14,000 for the C250 above, so now down £7500 in 7 months , glad I sold it in April.

I saw a White P Plus in my local showroom when they were released and thought it looked great. I really did consider getting one as a replacement for my 2018 C250d 4matic (White obviously) but the OTR price had shot up to £55k plus, and with MBs new pricing strategy there was no chance of a...
