Hi guys I have a 59 A180 CDI and I am wondering if you can change the layout of the on board computer on the cluster. On my one in the bottom window I have the speed in Kph. This according to the manual is unchangeable in the UK. I have seen that you can have the temp there instead. Is this...

Can anyone tell me how the rear bumper is secured on a pre facelift 2008 A Class W169. All is OK with ours apart from one side where it clips onto the rear wing - it seems as though the bumper needs lifting slightly to keep the clips secured. Its secured OK by the wheelarch but the clips...
