So after a dreaded 'top up coolant' warning on my CLS63, I checked the water level and it's pretty much where it's been for the last 6 months Oil level has gone down very slightly if anything, not risen, no excessive white steam from exhaust even in this cold weather, only thing I can think of...

My Mot is due on 15th December, I always put the cars in early to get a chance to sort them out before it runs out. I have sorted out the intermittent parking bulb. H/light bulbs seem a bit different in colour, so I am off to Halfords to get some Osram Nightbreakers, at least I'll know it has...

Hi everyone, 2003 CL600 W215 50K miles Well, will have to put any thought of new wheels and sorting out the aircon to one side as it looks like I may have to replace one or both of the coil packs. My hand-held code reader shows multiple misfires (not sure if one or both banks)...
