Big thank you to Ian Walker of Total Mercedes in Kirkham, Lancashire. I purchased the car Approved Used in November with 43k on it at 3 years old and a dealer service history. Booked in with Ian for a B service on Monday, all fluids and filters. Ian showed me the air filters he'd removed...

Evening all, Some of you may have seen a few threads from me regarding this subject! Well I have finally installed my bespoke/oem style subwoofer into my 2010 W204 :devil: The standard sound system is excellent but it lacks quality low bass, not being 21 anymore and now married :doh: I...

In the last week of May 2009 I decided to try out commuting by bike. On the way home last night my trip computer hit 1500 miles. I was determined to see it click over so was watching it like a hawk and trying not to crash (that would have been ironic....). Anyway, that equates to 100 commutes...

Decided to have resonator removed on C55 this afternoon (after being driven in Steve's SL 500 Silver Arrow), and what a nice deep throaty sound added to the V8. Have kept the secondary cats as to remove them would have been too loud me thinks. Looking forward to hearing the sound after it's...

Arrived home last night after another successful? run to the middle of France and back. It got off to a dubious start (wheel bearing replacement hours before departure) and sailed from Portsmouth (since the collapse of SpeedFerries) on board an LD lines vessel. They gave us a good discount as...

Well, 2.5 years after I first clapped eyes on her, I have finally completed my AMG Hammer and as it was such a beautiful day today, I thought I would go out and burn some rubber and take some pics. For those not familiar with this car, the AMG Hammer was developed by AMG back in the mid 80's...

Hi guys, just spent my day off giving the 300D a good interior clean. It was dirty when I bought it last month and the 2000 miles i've done since havent helped. I'm amazed how well its come up for a 127000 mile car. I can reccomend 'Decosol Instant Valay'. its a spray foam and seems to shift any...

C43AMG UPDATE After visiting Steve in Holland i have finally finished the Mods i wanted to do. Had a great trip to Steve's, he had a small problem with the extended Comand face unit which he is going to send me. He is a great guy and very professional, did a great job. It's the first chance...
