My car goes into manual mode fine and will shift up and down through the box on the buttons fine but I've noticed if you're just driving normally and are not accelerating hard or haven't changed gear for a good few seconds it seems to go back into S mode on its own, is that normal?.

Hello all, just signed up to the forum. :) I bought myself a barn-find 1995 W202 C280 Sport Auto earlier this year for peanuts and am in the process of getting it all sorted. I've replaced the headlights for continental versions (the car is RHD but I'm living in France). It's also had brand...

Hi everyone, well i may as well start at the beginning, i bought my slk the other week knowing the exhaust was loud, i thought this was due to the baffles in the backbox, so today the 2nd hand back box came, and after putting it on, it seems just the same, it just sounds like its got a...
