Anyone with an estate & probably the saloons too, do yourselves a favour & jack them up, remove the rear wheels & wheel arch liners. The mud & crap build up behind them is unbelievable! I just did mine this morning, around a kilo of mud was removed. Its now all washed down, dried off & waxoyled...

I thought I'd show some before and after pictures to show what you can achieve with some persistence.
This is how the exhaust tip when I took it off the car. It looks like it should be scrapped but it is £300 for a new exhaust tip so I thought I'd see if I could improve its appearance before...
Hi Guys,
I had a tranmission error flash up on my 06 A200 CDI TIP (70k miles otherwise in great condition!) a couple of days ago which meant i couldn't go over 40mph. I took it to the local garage who plugged it in and cleared the error - it then drove ok again.
Previous to this it had been...

Does the 2012 E-Class Estate Sport Tip Auto come with steering wheel paddle shift as standard and also does it come with a seven speed gearbox? I've read somewhere that it was a five speed box, did they change it?
When I recently bought my SL I was aware of a steering wobble but took the chance anyway. The seller said he thought it was normal scuttle shake and hadn't noticed but then that's no surprise as he was full of **** in so many things he said. Anyway, I changed the antiroll bar bushes, had the...
