    Bad luck or neglect with tyres

    Had a nightmare the past year with rubber on the c63. First one was a blow out while traveling up to the MLS day a while back witch disintegrated a large portion of the inside wall. Then a couple of weeks after that the other rear developed a bump in the middle of the tread. This wasn't so bad...

    Interesting - MO Tyres or just luck?

    I've always been sceptical of the value of MO tyres, but today I might have just been convinced. My SLS had 4 almost new Pirelli P-Zero's but, since I've had it I couldn't get the wheels balanced properly. At 80-100 leptons, the wheel would shake...only slightly, but it was definitely there...

    Unbelievably bad luck!...

    Just back from two weeks away working, jumped in the car and was turning into a tight concealed entrance at a garage forecourt and heard a little bang, closely followed by a car passing me, as I'd braked sharply mid-entrance because suddenly a car appeared trying to exit I thought at first it...

    7 Years bad luck????

    The passenger vanity mirror in my 2006 CLK 200 (W209) cabriolet is cracked (must have looked too long!) It 's the electric one. Does anyone know if just the mirror can be replaced or is it a whole new visor?

    Bit better luck this weekend.....

    E200 GCI Avantgard, though still not a facelift model annoyingly. It's nice to experience a petrol motor with an auto box in an E-Class again, even if it's the baby one. Twice I had to check the rev counter to make sure it was running. Surprising amount of poke displayed on the short drive...

    How bad is my luck!!!

    After getting my brake pads changed and poly V belt replaced by Alf203 yesterday the car was struggling to start today. I plugged in the OBD and low and behold the glowplug controller module seems to have gone. If its not covered by MB warranty Terry here I come.

    If it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have none at all

    Driving home from work today, I got about a 1/4 mile away when I heard a bang from the rear. Not a loud bang, but loud enough to hear over the radio. A quick look in the door mirror, I saw a piece of 2x1 lying on the road. Assuming it was that I had ran over, continued and thought no more of it...
