After 6 months and looking at few lemons, finally got an E320 CDi Estate Sport with V6 and 7G Auto. What a joy to drive, journey from side of Southampton to Doncaster was the best I had (Vito is not bad).

It took a while but I finally managed to get a set of all four ribbed mats for my SL500. These are no longer available in RHD apart from in black so I'm very happy to have tracked them down. Apparently made by the OEM - the quality seems very good. So here's the obligatory shot including...

Hi, Just switched from a BMW 320i auto to a C180 CGI Sport BlueEfficiency. Took delivery of the car last weekend, and it is much better ride & better build quality. We test drove the BMW X1 - very noisy & absolutly hated it. Next in line was the Audi A4 - pretty nice car. However, it cannot...

When i purchased my E55, Linguatronic was one of the 3 items that wasnt installed from factory. over the last few months I have been researching the install and gathering the parts needed, surprisingly the w211 had 3 different types of parts depending on year of build, finally got the correct...

Something happened over the weekend and now, finally I have clicked with the E55. I have been playing with tyre pressures and now the ride is spot on, the gear box for some reason suddenly changed what it was doing and is smoother and also changes down at the right points(On braking). Also the...

over the past few weeks i've started to get some rust bubbles on the front arches, and yesterday, whilst the car was being cleaned and waxed, two of the bubbles "burst". is it worth taking it to my local MB stealer? or should i just get these re-sprayed? Ive also found 2 brand new...
