    Hardly used E63 winter tyres (w212)

    Very good condition winter tyres with 6mm tread remaining (practically new). I have been very impressed with these tyres and would have had no hesitation using them all year round. I have used them for 8 months over to winters and completed very few miles; i'd guess 4k miles only. I can email...

    E63 gone to a good home.

    After 2 years of happy motoring in the E63, it has now gone to a good home. Circumstances have changed and given that I do a max of 6k miles per annum, I took the decision that depreciation was too great for such a low mileage. Without any doubt, it has been the best car I have ever owned. Just...

    Japanese Import W124 E280

    Folks, I have never done this before, hence this request, but I am looking at a Jap import tomorrow and want to try and understand what I would need to do to it to make fully UK compliant. I understand that I would need to get it the underside wax oiled (approx £600) and get the speedo changed...

    W124 - 1992 230e v 1994 E280 Japan import.

    Folks, I have seen the above cars for sale for about the same price and mileage and both in excellent condition for age. As a daily driver, which would you go for? Surely you would go for the E280, right? It has leather, air con and a more modern engine none of which you get on the 230e...

    Car tax evasion triples after paper version scrapped

    See here folks...Car tax evasion triples after disc scrapped I think many of us were skeptical about the change of process on the basis that it would be open to abuse and that enforcement would not be adequate. 'I told you so' comes to mind! It seems to me that it was simply another of those...

    E63 AMG Winter/All season tyres

    Folks, my summer tyres are down to 2.5mm and I was considering, bearing in mind the time of year, whether to fit all season/winter tyres rather than a new set of summer tyres. I live in the south (Woking) where we get very little snow but I do some travel in Normandy (Northern France) where...

    E63 auto braking system, clarification!

    Chaps, just for clarification, my car is a 2015 E63 with no options and therefore, no distronic. I assume therefore that my brakes will never auto apply unless in a circumstance whereby a) My red triangle warning light is on and b) I, having first touched the brake pedal, the computer then...

    Purchased wrong wiper blades

    Chaps, bought some Bosch blades A939S as that was what popped up on Europarts and Halfords, when I put in my registration. However, they are 'side fitting' whereas mine are 'slide in' type. Any idea where I went wrong or what Bosch number I should have bought? Car is a 2015 E63 Estate...

    How much by volume of DI resin?

    Folks I need to refill my 11.7 ltr vessel however, I cannot seem to get any firm advice on what percentage of the vessel should be filled with resin. I have seen advice that ranges from 60% to as much as possible. I have gone for about an 80% fill but do you have any views on this from...

    DI Vessel not performing as expected

    Chaps, bought a DI Vessel recently but I am struggling to get the PPM down to anywhere near zero. My tap PPM is 299 and I can get it down to the 70's when using the vessel. Should I be happy or disappointed with that? If disapointed, what am I doing wrong and/or are there any tips? Many...

    Living with an E63 Bi-turbo

    Gents, I am thinking of doing a deal on a 64 plate E63 S212 tomorrow but before I do, I'd like your honest opinions of one of these as an everyday car which for me will include short trips into town, a 30 mile round trip to work, holidays, collecting sons from Uni with all their kit etc. I do...
