Managed to get a brand new set of 17" Winter wheels with Dunlop Winter tyres on from a MB franchised dealer on ebay at a great price. Went to collect this afternoon and they are quite nice. I didn't realize but one of the alloys in the set had a small mark on it. The chap from parts went back in...
Snow Foam attachment for the Karcher arrived yesterday with 4.8l of meguiars Hyperwash......the weather is good so it would be churlish not to give it a try:bannana:
Little bit of trial and error required to get the setting right, my Karcher does not have variable pressure setting...1st lesson...

Couple of short clips.
Winter tyres on no problems what so ever.
Took it for a drive awsome.

After the harsh winter last time, I swapped the W212 for the ML last July. Today is the first time I've been able to check it out in the snow. In short, the traction is great, and I could always pull away and power on with amazing grip.
However stopping, as suspected, that was the big problem...
Post whatever you can find guys, let's make this fun.

As a follow on from another thread I thought we should have a poll to check back against later.
Will it snow heavily enough to be a problem this Winter, before the end of the year or in the New Year.
Poll to run for one week only.
Place your bets...
Hello
Currently thinking of heading to France in Febuary.
I thought maybe best to use the wifes B class as its Front wheel drive and smaller tyres.
Now we will probably do around 2000 miles and her current rear tyres are like new.
Would just puting snow tyres on the front be ok, or a...
Afternoon everybody :)
I've been toying with the idea of purchasing a MB for a while now but if I'm honest one of the main things that has put me off is the fact they are rear wheel drive.
Now in the past I've had a few rear wheel drive cars including an E34 M5 and a BMW 130i. One thing above...
OK I know it is "belt and braces" but I just popped into CostCo and they are selling packs of Michelin Composite Snow Chains for £49.99 + VAT per pack of two. These are also approved for use in France (where their kind police will fine you if you are in the alps without chains and get stuck)...
So I have decided that I am not prepared to pay several hundred pounds for winter tyres and wheels this year on the grounds that if the weather is really that bad that normal tyres won't get me there then I will just stay and work from home (because I can). Of course if I can lay my hands on a...
Hi All,
I'm running the standard 17" 7-spoke alloys with standard 275/55/17 tyres (TOYO Proxes S/T). Fine for summer, but I want to prepare for the cold winter months ahead. I've got some 245/70/17 Nexen winter tyres which I want to stick on a spare set of rims, but wonder if anyone's had any...
Hi,
friend of mine in Scotland is thinking of getting a 2009 ML and wants to know from other owners what they are like in the Snow, winter tyres would make a difference but it is most likely to be running on all weather tyres.
TIA
