I've had my SLK for a while now. With one thing and another, it has spent the last 3 years in my garage, so although it's a V reg, it's only done 33K miles. On wednesday, I get to say "goodbye" to it. The new owner is having it taken by low-loader to a local garage, for a full lubrication...

iv sold the c class and bought a volvo v70 2.4, thanks for all the advise and help in my 2 years of mb ownership

Sold my C270 today. It's been great, 3 yrs, 80k miles, no hassle. On the plus side, E350 arrives next weekend. :bannana:

After 4 yrs of hard pressed service in my hands I've decided to part company with the E. At 176k miles it's starting to feel old (rattles and squeeks) and the the finance / value balance means it owed me nothing. Considered a few options but have decided to get something smaller - so there's...

Well I'm really excited. I pick up my W124 Coupe tomorrow afternoon :thumb: I know it's no C63 that everyone on here seems to be buying :p (not green eyed, honest!!!!), but I'm pleased with myself! It's not even the 6cyl version:( but I'm still very happy. I just needed to get that off my...

Although being a newcomer to this forum, I have come across some genuine people that give honest opinions. I joined the forum to discuss issues to do with Mercedes-Benz and also share my experiences with the marque and others, which I thought was the point of the forum? :wallbash:Anyway, I...

when i got the SEC it had a spare set of clear front corners, i finally got around to buying some clear repeaters this week to complete the look. I had a spare set of rear lenses so i decided to tint them red. I used a tint spray i got on ebay, a few light coats was all it took, however when...

Last Mercedes CLS comes off the line Mercedes has ended production of the first-generation CLS-Class (W219). Originally launched in 2004, the CLS started a styling revolution which made 'four-door coupe' a household term, almost. Immediately successful, the model would go on to sell more...

Hi All For those who care (!!) my wife and I are about to begin our stay in Russia which lasts a couple of months, so my posts will be thin on the ground for a while! :) But, if I spot any interesting cars (especially Russian MBs!) I'll drop in a thread and photo while away (we have laptops...

In response to this thread, this may be of interest. Drivers will see a new style of winter treatment on England's motorways and major A roads from this Autumn, as the Highways Agency replaces its yellow 'gritters' and invests £45 million in a new fleet to tackle snow and ice. Pre-wet salt...

At what point do you think "enough is enough, this car has got to go!" Is it based on a potential big repair bill?, or is it just yet another small annoying fault that breaks the camel's back. Maybe its simply a case of "I fancy another car"? Do you reckon people get overly sentimental about...

Well the time came and the silver E55 has gone but replaced with an obsidian black one, Ive lowered it, blacked out the alloys, 63 rear spoiler illuminated sills all round, amg flat bonnet badge, and new grille, built in radar detector and of course the shiny pedals:D Stage 1 pulley/filtters on...

Well the production of the w203 C-Class has finally ended: LINK TBH honest with you, I was never a fan until the facelift appeared (Clear lights etc) as I thought it looked like a cheap w210! So, long live the W204!!!* For the record, here is a shot of the final W202 (as per...

Hi Everyone. Whilst I have not posted many threads with the club, I have watched it most days (retired) and I would like to thank all the members who have helped me with technical information when I have asked for it.. A great club, great forums and good people. I am now 73 and probably been...

This weekend my new car finally arrives and it's time for the CLK to go back. My tenure with it has been a bit of a roller coaster ride and many of the problems I have had have been well documented on this forum. So it's time to say goodbye to the Merc - and goodbye to the forum. I am on too...

Just to let you all know I had a major prang on Bank Holiday Monday. The old Merc did a splendid job and without any doubt saved my life. I will go into more detail later when it is appropriate - it isn't at the moment. However, I was wondering can anyone advise me on how to stop the...

Well it's been a funny old 12 months of Mercedes ownership, got the car last August and after my rear ending in September and the Command/flat battery issues I sort of lost faith in it, but all cleaned up and most of the niggles sorted, my faith was restored. I ditched command for a PC and spent...
