Went to my friends place the other night. Self confessed MB nut. All of these cars bar the 91 500E are his. He has another Bornite 94 E500 on the way... Beautiful 500E from the US E500 Limited with an 8 piston brake kit and retrimmed interior...

Just for info. / interest. Reading through the little magazine I was given yesterday when my SL was serviced I noticed that the Sandown Group (M-B Guildford, Basingstoke, Hindhead, Dorchester, Poole and Salisbury) claim to have "the UK's only factory appointed classic car parts centre", with...

Been at MBS this morning, found them to be very thorough and professional, enjoyable morning, my thanks for their good work, and to Cole, more so as he was not feeling that great. :thumb:

Just had some work carried out on my CLS 500 by MBS, Mercedes Specialist, Southampton. Great service all round, so helpful and I would highly recommend them. Extremely professional and knowledgeable. Thanks.

While SWMBO is swamped with a huge translation project for the next few weeks, I've taken advantage of some free time I have to test some of the cars that sit happliy on my "next car contenders" list! So, friday I tried an E350cdi coupe. In a word, I loved it! Way more refined and...

The dreaded R word appears in almost every thread, so this morning whilst washing my car I had a few thoughts: 1) Have there been any changes to production techniques and materials in recent years to give us hope that the future may be a bit brighter? 2) Is the degree of rust a factor of how...

Hopefully I'm posting this in the right area, if not then i'm sure a mod will move it. Anyway this a a thread just to say a MAHOOOSIVE Thank you to Dave and Colin at MBS in Southampton for doing such a freindly, knowledgeable and generally brilliant job on my precious. The story goes, had taken...

Finally got round to downloading the 997 photos I took during my Russian vacation! Found several pics of MBs spotted in various towns we were in. More to follow...

John Emery service team manager from Mercedes benz of Exeter has now moved to MBS Exeter mercedes,Smart,BMW&Mini specialists after 21 years at the dealer. His new role is service manager heading up a team of four fully qualified techys:bannana:

Does MB have child locks on the back doors - w203? Anyone have any good ideas? Who can fix it? MB independent garage? Thanks for helping

Saw these 2 nice Mbs in Primrose Hill yesterday. The SL below was fantastic! Maybe the nicest coindition one I've ever seen!! And this lovely E Class coupe - I'm really starting to like these... :)

Going through my holiday photos again, found this one, taken on the F1 day near Red Square in Moscow on 19th July. Two of the cars "pacing" the circuit before the F1 cars came out were an AMG CLS and AMG ML. They sounded fantastic! Pic of ML below.

Tiger Woods drives his BMW into a petrol station in a remote part of the countryside.The pump attendant, obviously knows nothing about golf, greets him in a typical manner completely unaware of who the golfing pro is. "Morning' to yer, sir" says the attendant. Tiger nods a quick "hello"...

I have just bought this poster from my local dealer; (Except that mine is in English and with a black background rather than white) The poster is large (over 44" wide) but should look great on a wall in my garage! £11 from my dealer or £5 + postage from MB Milton Keynes Shop...

W116 vs XJ6 comparative review, plus exclusive feature on a 500E.

Dear friends I am desperately trying to source a new water pump for my 1963 190c Heckflosse. Are there suppliers in the UK that would ship to Cape Town, South Africa? My model is series VIN 11001060058626, Model W110, Engine ID 120.924. These new (OEM Original Equipment Manufacturer) water...

Hi All, As some of you know, one of my relatives is quite senior in MB Australia. We were talking about a few things the other day, and he tells me that quality on the new cars is so good that the dealers are complaining that there's not enough warranty work for them to do, and as a result...

Hi All, Not everyone has seen these, so I thought I'd repost them - pics from the 2003 German GTG in November 2003, where I managed to get us into the MB Classic Car Centre's private collection. Some really rare metal in here...

On getting the ML, I was disappointed with the performance ( 6th gear -yes, it is a rare manual one- was next to useless). I was considering a tuning kit when my MB technician friend said to wait to 2.5 -3k miles ; he also said it would only start to go at 12-13k miles. Well , at 3k miles it had...

Lifted straight out of Autospies: Nice.... hope this all makes it to the 2nd gen W203 or the W204(?)
