Are there any Spanish residents here? Or can someone point me in the direction of a spanish resident. :) If so, Hello!!! Can you recommend a good indy workshop? And if your MB was english, how much did you pay to convert the headlights?

No Merc content but I definitely need to drive round this area in something other than my Dad's wallowly Xsara Picasso :)

Heart ruling over head, we've decided to take our 1996 W124 RHD cabriolet to Spain for a few years, so we'll have to go through the re-registration process in due course. We've owned it for years and of course it's fully VAT paid, so I don't think we'll have to pay any major import taxes etc...

I recently sold my beloved S320cdi partly because we now wish to have two cars. As one of them, we chose an A class 180cdi Avantgarde SE 5 door with CVT automatic gearbox, and collected it from the Southampton dealer 3 hours before we wanted to leave for a two week motoring holiday in France...

Don't know if you guys will be interested but I would be grateful for some advice. I have an old W124 250TD (1241851F245950) which resides permanently in Spain. It does about a thousand miles a year currently and is left standing the rest of the time. I change the oil and filters regularly and...

Just got back to Blighty after a fortnight driving through France and Spain in our C180 Elegance. As expected, the car performed perfectly throughout the 2500 mile trip with 4 in, fully loaded and a full roofbox. Even with the 1.8 engine it pulled well, only changing down into 4th on the long...

Just read the adventure Dittrich has had going to Russia and back wow. We won't match the 8000 miles!!! We are spending most of the trip in Spain and just driving through France, although our first stop is at a great looking Chateau just outside Tours. We have booked half a dozen Paradors to...

Apart from the GTG on the 28th July. How did that go? Wah I missed it. Seems also that my sig has bitten the dust on the free host I was using <img src="http://www.mbclub.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('> Oh well. S.P. is back on the boards. I...
