    High speed vibration

    My car has a vibration through the steering wheel which is only present at around 90-100mph. I've had the wheels balanced but this hasn't helped. C63 coupe. 19" wheels. Any ideas?

    SLK250d/9 speed

    Has anyone compared the SLK250d/9 speed gearbox to the 250CDi/7 speed. Is the 250d as noisy as the 250CDi? I have a 250CDi/7 speed which I find very noisy and am thinking of changing soon.

    Speed bumps

    Maybe a silly question but the C63 is 25mm lower than a standard C class. Obviously take speed bumps slowly but is there going to be a chance of scrapping the car on any speed bumps? I believe UK law says they cannot be any higher than 100mm but councils have been caught out for going higher on...
