summer

Well it's above 7 degrees here in sunny Kent.....what do you reckon the chances are of snow in the next month?

Got my Pilot Sport 3's fitted yesterday to summer wheels.....and then added coat 4 of poorboys wheel sealer....can't wait for summer and getting the AMG's back on. :D

As I am currently running the winter wheels, it gave me the chance to have a better look at the summer wheels and tires, and noticed that the rear Continental SC 5 are down to 3 mm, and will therefore probably replace them before putting back the summer wheels in March/April. The fronts are...

I know the winter tyre on one axle debate has begun and the consensus seems to be, no, that's silly. But is the same reasoning applicable to all season tyres and summer tyres? I can't afford a set of winters and summers, and as my rears are past their best I was thinking of doing all season...

Hi folks, I want to ask....what are other C63 owners seeing for oil temperatures currently during our typical summer? The reason for my question is that I had the car serviced, used to run at about 102/103C, and now it is running at 107/108C. Now this is could be me with a bit of OCD or...

So reluctantly I have to sell my 5 due to back pain.... long story short i broke my back and getting in and out is just a no no now :-( History - I got this from my Sister as a totally standard 5 back in February, she had owned it for 3 years i think and she now has another later 5...

I know it seems like ages away but missed having a GTG last couple of years, so who's up for it? Preferred dates? 26 August is a Bank Holiday Monday so maybe the 25th? or are people going away that weekend? Also anyone know if any major sporting or motorsport events on any of the Sundays in...

Here we are at the end of another sweltering hot summer , and no doubt many of you completed all your planned Mercedes projects . More likely , you did not get around to them, and now face some cold winter work in your garage . What repairs/mods have you carried out this summer, and what plans...

I’ve just bought some used alloys for my SL 350, they came off a SL500 and are 255 45 17, which is a size MB used on the SL350. The idea is to fit winter tyres to these wheels and I was wondering if I could go slightly narrower with some 245 45 ZR17’s? The choice of winter tyres seems to...

MERCEDES BENZ E220 2.2 AUTO CABRIOLET CONVERTIBLE CLASSIC | eBay

Just popped down to the lads house to feed his animals whilst he is away. On the way back at 0815AM I was directed into a lay-by by the boys in mostly hi-viz. Brief intro on what they were doing. "Last time you had a drink Sir" Told him. Blow into this - ZERO. How sad is that after...

Went to a funeral on Friday. Had to park on a village green with loads of others. Very very wet and hey ho the merc struggled to keep going on a muddy slight incline . Interesting to watch a colleague's 3 series ,with winter tyres, just power out and away !

I have a W212 E Class and I am a bit bored with at the moment. I have had it from new so it is a keeper. I have seen a nice MY2000 SLK for £2500. I dont know what to look out for so when I say nice, I mean it looks nice. My plan is to buy it now before the summer rush for convertibles gets...

Hello. I'm wondering if people have had the same thoughts or issue. I have had winter tyres fitted and I was think of buying some summer wheels and tyres so I can swap around the wheels myself during season change. My question is. I have pressure monitoring, what will happen if I fit...

Mercedes-Benz Brabus Unikat (408PS) 1.Hand as Cabrio / roadster in Raubling :rock::rock::rock::rock::rock:

A little out of season but hey, I'm all sorted for the winter and I'll need new tyres for the summer. I've always been a great Michelin fan, but replaced the Goodyear NCT's on the E320 with the same again last time, as I did like the feel and handling of the car. I'm not a racer by any means...
