Hi All, first post.
Wife has got a 2005 B180Cdi - she loves it. I'm new to Mercs, and I know it had a lot of work done pre-delivery at Ipswich Mercedes (autotronic fluid/filter change, major service, brake pads, tyres etc).
Couple of Q's from me - as it has to go back for something to be...

Nice to see there are still some genuinely philanthropic people out there in the world.
I'd like to say I would have done the same but, I think I'd have to indulge in a fantasy garage and some choice real estate first...:rolleyes:
of my new acquisition. I've been out of the country a lot the last few weeks, but managed to get home for the bank holiday. Hooray, hooray, the weather forecasters got it wrong and it's actually been decent.. cue a trip to the New Forest today..

First thing I noticed was this little trio....

I have a couple of small areas on the front where the top (nano?) coat is flaking off the colour coat. I guess stone impacts have started the process, but has been/will continue to be exacerbated no doubt by washing, particularly by pressure.
The colour coat is intact, but the flaky areas look...
Hello.
My car failed it's German MOT for a couple of lighting problems, and was wondering if anyone can shed any light (no pun intended) on them before i attempt to use my schoolboy german at the local Merc dealer.
The drivers side headlamp is really dim compared to the other one, and after...
Fitted paddles in place of the OEM buttons to my E55, this week, here's a couple of photos of the finished product. I'm not particularly hands on, but it was pretty painless, followed dvb247 linked instructions, and with additional help/advice from Alps. I did have local MB remove and replace...
My sister is looking for a Mercedes diesel coupe automatic for ~£10k.
So I think the choice is MY2005: C-class couple 220CDi vs. CLK 220CDi
Parker's Guide gives some basic dimensional differences, but the data is quite incomplete like weight & boot size.
Performance and efficiency look...
Saw these 2 nice Mbs in Primrose Hill yesterday.
The SL below was fantastic! Maybe the nicest coindition one I've ever seen!!
And this lovely E Class coupe - I'm really starting to like these... :)
If you're interested or on the look out yourself, my local Merityre is doing me 2 x 225/40/ZR18 Falken 452s fitted for £95 each, which sounds reasonable :)
Now to find a couple of spare rims to put the old tyres on.

Not familiar with this Ltd edition but love the red seats.
I need to get valuations for a few vehicles owned by my girlfriend's grandfather who sadly passed away last month. Unfortunately, they're too old for any of the online valuation guides, and one of them is erm, really old.
Firstly, his 300SL. I have the vin for this if anyone can decode it...
I have just purchased a 2000 CLK320 convertible earlier this week with the intentions of fitting a towbar for caravanning, It was a private purchase and I am very happy with what I payed but, after having a good look I noticed dripping under the car when running and with the heater fan on.

We're considering buying a new SLK 200K. The dealers' product knowledge is sketchy and contradictory so I'll ask the experts :)
My wife wants a manual - I'm assuming this is less of an issue compared to other Mercs owing to the 'standard' handbrake. Is the 6 speed manual a good 'box?
