About 6 months ago I had economy tyres fitted to the back of my SLK - I've only just realised by chatting to others how important tyres are...I just thought as long as they were legal and the right size they...

    Jaguar XJ and XF build quality

    Today I looked around London's Clerkenwell Design Week which is sponsored by Jaguar. They had an XF, XJ and XK on display. I got another sit in the XF and XJ which I think are both fine looking cars. However, as I tend to do when trying out a car, I gave the interior trim and switchgear a good...

    C204 poor quality AMG wheels

    Two weeks ago I picked up my new C class Sport (2011 registed vehicle) with the standard 17" AMG wheels. I got around to detailing it this weekend, and with less than 200 miles on the clock, the wheel inners were in a terrible condition. There is a rough overspray type texture, and some old...

    So I needed some bits for one of my 124s and thought I would give Hill's a try down in Skem. Hey what a pleasant change. Yes we have them in. He is a reference number pop down when you like. So I popped down. Plenty of easy tarmac parking. Nice bright reception (fully of alloys with tyres...

    CLK 209 build quality

    Here is a question aimed at CLK owners, regarding how you find the build quality? I have had my CLK 320cdi for two weeks now, and I almost love it. Nice to drive, comfortable seats once you get used to them, probably the best all-round engine I have encountered. The reason I say almost is...

    Poor quality plastics

    Has anyone noticed how easily the plastic around the gear shift on a merc dents? My phone fell off the dash and made a huge dent the other day - I've since experimented and you can practically dent it with your finger with a bit of pressure. This is on an 05 plate E Class, maybe they have...

    Mat sets to OE quality

    I just received a full set of four mats from my E320 cabriolet from SVS. I have to say that the quality is excellent in both fit and materials. They did take a while to come through from Germany but were well worth the wait. I don't know anywhere else you can buy OE quality mats for the 124...
