couple

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...

Angie and I had a weekend break in Lavenham last weekend, and on Sunday took a trip to Great Yarmouth which is a place I used to take a ride out to on the bike on a sunny Sunday afternoon 15+ years ago when I lived in the East of England. It was just as tacky as I remember (just like a British...

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...

My little girl's godmother works at the library - It's a good place for renting DVD's very cheap. 2 movies I really enjoyed watching this weekend. District 9 - It's about aliens, is filmed in South Africa, and has no famous film stars. It's very original. I thoroughly recommend it. The Hurt...

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. Cheers, Jon

Hi, I just bought a 02 ML350 with 90k miles on it. Found this great forum and signed up and hoping to get the most of my new Merc... I've owned mostly German cars before, couple of Golfs, BMW and before ML I was driving a 525da and a Chevy Trailblazer, so I have experience of big SUVs. I...

Hey all, My daughter is finally running her first (and probably last :cool:) marathon with her husband. She's been wanting to do one all her life, but finally has the time to do it. The charity is : Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC)GazaAppeal She's just set up the just giving page last...

......on PH and for at Bramley. Both are 2006, with facelift COMAND, grill and lights 3,200 miles: http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/955428.htm 1,600 miles: http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/955466.htm They're both super examples, but I think I'd go for the Cubanite one :D Darren

E320 sportline cab No mention of mileage but looks like a very high spec one in the right colour. Last sold in 2006 Interior pics Also, SL500 Millie Miglia 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. It is...

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? The...

Hi All, Any ideas how to reset service indicator on an 07 vito with type B steering wheel controls? Also are there any known issues with scrubbing tyres out every 15k miles? Help gratefully recieved Thanks

I was lucky enough to spend New year in the USA combining a bit of business with pleasure. Here are a couple of pictures I took. The first one shows an ML63 in the background which had every conceivable extra and a GL450 in the foreground. I'm not sure of the resale value of a GL450 (in...

I want to do a could of little things on my brothers "spare" car when I go to visit him over christmas. I tried to find the haynes manual, but www.haynes.co.uk does not list it and there are none on ebay. Is anyone aware of a haynes or similar manual for the Mercedes 420 SEL made in 1986...
