Hi, I'm looking to buy a w204 or a high miles w212. I don't want to start an argument about petrol vs diesel but I have never owned or driven a diesel before. I have heard people say that diesels are now just as refined as petrol. I saw a 2010 e350 cdi. It was at a car supermarket and...

OK, so I have a 08 CLS 320cdi and would like to fit a Brabus D6III to it, but would rather not pay full dealership prices which are over £1500. As my car is over 2 years old and has done more than 40k miles, then the warranty offered if they are fitted by a dealer does not apply anyway. I have...
