Hi All, I've just swapped my '91 bonnet on a coupe to a '94 shape from an estate. Two things. Firstly, the estate washer bottle is on the other side and feeds from the other side - the coupe has a complicated water junction. Pipe lengthening soon. Secondly the light lenses are shaped to...

Hi all. My C63 hunt continues and has led me to researching whether a missed limit slip diff oil change is something to worry about (no not your car Eddy :thumb:) Should I be? Engine oil I guess is a different beast but this thought has cast my mind back to my old Z4M's 'running in service' at...
