    C55 tyre choice

    I am getting pretty low on my Yokohamas after a vigorous day of track driving tuition and wondered which tyres other C55 or similar car owners have found good. I have a mildly modified suspension and will use the car for a 50:50 mix of track and road use so out and out track tyres are probably...

    How to decide? (C43 tyre choice)

    I need new rear tyres on my C43. Current tyres are Continental ContiSportContact all round. My priorities are safety and grip in the wet (let's face it, we get a lot of rain!) followed by quiet running. Price not relevant - once the right tyre is chosen then I'll shop around for the best...

    Bluetooth HFP choice

    Help please - getting myself confused with too much tech!:confused: From what I can see the difference between part number B67875877 and B67876168 is that the later version costs about £100 more (used) but does support Bluetooth PBAB (?). I have an iphone 3GS (soon to be upgraded to a 4GS)...

    CLS splitter/spoiler/lip choice's? for non AMG's

    Hi all, Can't help but think that my CLS may benefit from some subtle styling additions, mainly a front splitter/spoiler/lip of some sort. Have done some googling and not found a great deal available. I did see someone else's CLS on here with what appeared to be a Brabus lip? Where would I...

    C55 rear tyre choice for winter wear

    Won't be happening this year as there's just no money in the pot for new rubber, let alone wheels to go with them! :crazy: However I'm interested in what the accepted norm is for a car that appears to use a rear tyre size that doesn't exist in winter rubber. Does one go for smaller rims? If...

    What’s your choice of car polish?

    I spend 20 years lavishing MER on my cars (mainly classics MG Roadster, Lotus Esprit, sorry no Mercedes – my excuse, if I need one here, is youth) I loved the way MER left the paint on the car so I could polish it some more (very important for a classic car). More recently I have moved over...

    One punch. One sleb. Your choice.

    With a tip of the hat to Knees Up Mother Brown (a West Ham forum). The rules are simple, you have one punch at a celebutard of your choice. No need to justify the reason, but feel free. For me it's Cowell. The numpty who has single handedly brought the once great British music industry to...

    Morgan's choice

    Ok, the following happened on Monday. In the grid of South Kensington I was waiting to turn right. The street into which I was turning was quite narrow. In my right a brown van was waiting at the give way lines to turn right into the road I was on. In front of me a green van was moving at...

    1983 W123 240D - preferred tyre choice.

    Hello all, me again. My recently acquired 240D needs new tyres all round. What's the preferred choice between originality, performance (not that I'll going to be going very fast in a diesel W123 :) ) and cost? Currently my tyres are so old, worn and mismatched that I haven't got a clue. I...

    Two 50 year-old models – a difficult choice?

    Hi All, I know well that sometimes a trouble shared works wonders, so I thought I’d offer this up and see if the same could be said for a dilemma. Both these models can be found for around the same money, and until I came across an image of the 220 my mind was made up. I’d had a hankering...

    To much choice..!!

    It all started off quite simple... I wanted a complete change from modern cars and with a budget of £10000 and an average mileage of 4000 a year a classic seemed the way to go. I decided a r107 SL was the way to go.. Then I saw a lovely SLC.... Now I'm drawn to w123 coupe...
