Has anyone here ran their E55 down the 1/4 mile? What was your time and terminal?
Anyone have any true 0-100 mph figures for their E55's?
What about other Merc's?
I ran my A45 a lot on the 1/4 mile and at one point had the quickest oem turbo A45 in the world. That ran an 11.86s @ 116mph at Shakespeare last summer. Shaun (on here) beat it with an 11.80 and as far as I'm aware he's the only one to have gone quicker in a stock blower car. With that car gone...
The passenger side rear 1/4 window has been intermittently sticking of late in the closed position. Up until now this has been rectified by opening and closing the door window a couple of times and eventually it has worked. For the last two days it hasn't! When the door opens the window does not...

Last week had an amazing weekend at Santa Pod. The nine cars in my charity challenge were up against each other but one of my fellow Club Le Mons competitors, pulled to the side at the last minute to let a 600bhp Subaru with a 1/4 set up make me look a fool...yet at 16.23 was my fastest run of...
Tested the 1/4 mile time today via GPS I phone app, my Volvo 850r auto which was mapped achieved 15.71 at 89 mph.
The Merc which i recently had mapped achieved 15.03 at 88mph :devil: lol
Chuffed to bits tbh,
My tweaked Black T5 was quicker than both 14.6 @ 105mph but that was 297bhp with...
Thought I would share this, I'm involved in 1/4 mile drag racing and pit crew for a couple of teams, this weekend was the UK Outlaw front wheel drive shoot out competition at Shakespeare county raceway.
Good friend of mine took the European FWD record 8.85 at 174 mph...
Hi
2002 w203 c220 cdi coupe auto.
When the fuel falls to a 1/4 of a tank the car will cut out and struggle to restart but if I add a gal or two it will start no probs.
Done a bit of searching here and it looks like it may be the hp fuel pump although I am not sure.
Can the hp pump be refurbed...
right guys i know this has been covered a zillion times, but when i bought the merc i ran her down until the fuel light came on and all was ok, since then ive covered about 3000 miles on 100% biodiesel ( my volvo v40 common rail has done 26thousand on my stuff so i know its top grade...!!!)...
not bad. Can i consider this OM606 powered beast to be run in yet?
haters, you will see i was stopped safely before taking this photo!
Its a shame the numbers didnt align up until about 250,003 miles. they all all nice and straight now :)
Hi there All.
I have just started with window issues with my CL, the rear drivers window will not close the last few mm resulting in wind noise and water leakage. Having to pull up and forward by hand to close and lock car. Also the drivers window on the one touch close goes all the way up...
Ok, not strictly true, but i couldnt word it properly..
I have a 2003 C220CDI. When the car is 1/4 full of fuel, and with the trip computer registering 100 miles, the car runs out of fuel. When i fill it from this point it takes approx 40 litres to fill.
This suggests, or so i have been...
