Hi guys. Can people share their experiences of things to look out for when taking delivery of a leased MB from MB finance. Apart from the obvious check for scratches etc?

Advice please. Seriously thinking of investing in a classic SL (we call it the Hart to Hart one), but no idea whether this is realistic or a recipe for bankruptcy. What are your experiences and what price point, year, mileage is less likely to be ruinous.

....to run as a daily (approx 20 miles per day) thoughts ?

Putting aside sentimental attachments to cars, what's your formula for declaring your daily car a money pit and walking away? Mine off the top of my head (subject to change) : Annual repairs exceeding £1500 or Time spent fixing issues exceeds time spent driving the car

Would like to treat under car structural sections with anti rust spray before winter if poss so loan of the above would be very helpful. Any offers in Kent /South East?? Will give you various Jeremy Clarkson books in return......:o or David Beckham autobiog too:bannana:

Hi all, Firstly if you haven't heard of it, it's a self service garage. Pit Start - Self Service Garage - 020 8827 1919 Some members have used it before: http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/general-discussion/79104-pit-start-garage.html I'm planning on going there this Saturday to do some...

So today while trying to change the foglights on the rally car someone decided to dump the contents on the Thames over me... Out of frustration (and a general feeling of drenched-ness) I remembered that a DIY garage had advertised on here a while ago. Being in a rush - I couldn't take...

Just returned from an uneventful trip to France's deep south, which would not have happened but for an exceptional 11th hour pit stop at P.C.S. beforehand! The car just wasn't braking well at all and a quick examination revealed that the right hand rear caliper had seized leaving most of the...

I have owned a couple of SAAB convertibles in my time, and fine cars they are too. I don't currently have a convertible and I'm lusting after one again......... The problem is (with a budget of £2K-£3K), could I buy a MB convertible which isn't a money pit? For that money, I could buy a nice...

I realise this thread should probably be in member's gallery, but I really want to get some comments, and it definetly is motoring related ;) Now, without further ado... After cleaning the Shogun, putting a nice layer of wax on most of the car (and stripping down the bonnet to the paint...

Been looking for an early 107 project for some time now but this one seems distinctly dodgy What questions should I be asking? Dosnt give much away in the description does he ? I wonder how he managed to lose the paperwork and also wonder why hes listed it as a 72 when it clearly is a 73...

I have been thinking about selling my fun cars (Triumph Spitfire & GT6) and buying an SL. The Triumphs aren't worth much so it would need to be a cheap SL. Do you think this would fit the bill or end up costing a fortune...
