Happy to announce my purchase. 2005 CLS55 AMG is mine in a matter of days. Unexpected turn of events - a distant family member had one in black from new, something I wasn't even aware of! - and was going to upgrade to the latest CLS63 SB. I've got an absolute steal in my opinion but what's more...

Hello all, I recently bought my first Mercedes, deciding upon a CLS 320 cdi with Brabus chip. I have to say what a fantastic car - an effortless pleasurable drive on long trips with a great turn of pace when required through a smooth power delivery. Why the Merc - well I decided after...

My friend Simeon has a 280GE in for engine work and he asks if I could help find the correct MB tool. The timing chain is being split and there is an MB tool to rejoin the chain, but his local dealership isn't able to help - any suggestions welcome, he kindly hosted the Bicester gtg last spring...

I've had two recent cases of cars attempting to join the dual carriageway as I was driving along in the left lane. They both seemed to expect, and try to force me to move into the right hand lane to let them in. In both cases the right hand lane was occupied. Have others here had the same thing...

Morning all, I have recently purchased into MB driving by acquiring an ml 270, My first thoughts when driving over sleeping policemen was that the front shocks needed replacement. I quickly sent off for two shocks, and looked for help on the net, on how to fit them. I jacked the car up and...

A few days ago, when moving slowly on the slip road and indicating to feed in to a 70mph dual carriageway, a driver on the inner lane slowed significantly, almost stopped and flashed to let me in - scary. I did pull out after checking that there was no other car behind that one but if this is...

Hi All After many years of VAG ownership I have decided it's time to break away from the dull drums of Audi and VW ownership and join the three pointed club :) I'm aware that the E Class Convertible facelift is imminent and this is leading to quite a few good deals out there. Well I think...

Hi all After nigh on 20yrs as a 'I don't really want this car but have no choice' company car driver I'm soon to be collecting my car allowance which means I can buy the car of my dreams!! Ok so not really but I've always wanted a Merc and now have an opportunity to get one - after a lot of...

As per title really?? I'll be in the market for some Michelin PS3's soon for the E320 and being as Costco only sell Michelin tyres was wondering if the annual membership could be a good move being as the total tyre bill could be around £800? :thumb:

Hi all, Joining on behalf of the missus, as her car is giving her grief and it's left to me to try and sort it all out. Or at least give her the ammo to take to the dealer with her for fixing! (Please check out the typical "Hi, and here's my problem" post in the technical electronics bit of...

I just came off the M60 onto the M56 when 2 cars (white seat cupra and silver ML) joining the Motorway from the slip road racing, came flying onto motorway I had to brake hard as the seat cut straight across all lanes and into outside lane in front of me, and the ML nearly went into the side of...

Hi All, Well I've took the plunge and moved from the massed ranks of BMW 3 series to a CLK 270d 05/55 coupe. The car is well specced (including COMAND) and I've bought it from Mercedes Direct - anybody any experience with them? After 4 BMW's it was a big leap for me to move to a different...

Stumbled accross this last night on ebay: Link My car has a sports chassis anyway, so not looking for any sort of upgrade as such, but I decided that I would take a bit of a gamble (have not had time to do any research for part numbers and such). As far as I know, Bilstein are a fairly...

Anyone fancy joining the mbclubuk dragracing team? I thought, talking to wleg a few mins ago - that we need a team exercise... So - there are enough people on here high up enough in companies that might like to sponsor a hillclimber car... I have a car - a 1972 mercedes /8 (aka W114...
