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...
A while ago, I mentioned here about some advice I had been given from the Mercedesshop forum in the US - it relates to the generally unreliable fuses in W123s and W124s. They were talking about the benefits of a glass sealed fuse, which is apparently more reliable than the standard type.

Had to replace both front tyres on the BMW due to one being damaged, this is the other good tyre.
It's a Continental SportContact2, 235/40R18. 6mm tread throughout, no repairs.

I've just bought a new set of wheels fitted with Continental supersport 2 tyres.
There appears to be no indication on the tyres themselves as to the direction of rotation.
Anyone know if it is an issue or not?
thanks
I replaced my rear factory fit Conti tyres on the W211 E220 CDi at 26K miles for some excellent Bridgestones. (245/45 17) My fronts still had plenty of tread at the time. I have now done 40K and popped into my local tyre place to get them checked because I thought it must be time to change...
