My 300CE-24 with the M104 CIS-controlled engine has had the typical 'start-up clatter' for quite a while. I'm not unduly concerned as it doesn't seem to be getting worse. Also, I am relatively sure it's not from the timing chain area and is thus likely to be just the hydraulic valve lifters...
Had two very different, but equally exciting drives yesterday.
First, an '06 CLS 320 CDI. Oh how I love this car! Everything about it seems just right to me. I was a little surprised to see so much of my S211 inside, but that's not necessarily a critisism...

I've recently been involved in the purchase of this by a friend.

Thankfully, I wasn't driving.
On the way home on Monday, I'm in the back of my mates car minding my own business when the anchors go on and I hear him say "**** sakes".
Turns out a modded Jap sports car had tried to overtake the car in front (in a 30 MPH limit) , lost it whilst pulling in...

Does anyone think this looks good for the price? To me it looks very cheap, but maybe it's the steal of the year? (it was imported...
If it's had a 'new' engine from MB like the ad says then someone spent a huge amount of money on this. The engines alone are £27,000:eek:
