congratulations

heated nappa leather seats....just in time for spring

 

[davidjpowell]

But they will be there for winter.... (I hope.....)

Really enjoyed the last hour of the drive on A/B roads. Some serious tramlining going on though. First things to do is sort a stray warning light and have 3 of the alloys refurbed.

I use my heated (passenger) seat to keep my curry warm on the way home, even in summer

drive the Saab in the summer with its vented cooled seats

I use my heated seats to torment my friends lol. Works best in summer. little clothing + lots of heat = some burns in the print of the leather (I never knew I had perforated seats till I saw my best friends burns). I know I'm sadistic but it's funny watching them sweat and not know what is going on.

Congrats and welcome back.

Does it have a Valeo radiator? If so, get it changed ASAP.

Good advice and so easily identified.

Good choice of motor for the OP.

 

[davidjpowell]

Some bits to sort before I hit preventative maintenance - but this at the top of the list.

 

[jeremytaylor]

So what is it?

It's an E320 (saloon?) with blue glass (avantgarde) but halogen headlamps (classic/elegance)

WTF??

And your point is??

 

[davidjpowell]

C320 CDi Avantagarde. Russian site not 100% accurate obviously.

 

[renault12ts]

C320??? You said 211 in your opening post...that's an E class. C Class is a w204!

Balderdash. Going back in history and mad. Must concentrate more.

E320 CDi. Avantgarde 2003

Strange colour which is 'Black' but in different types of light can look dark Green or Blue.

Extras are Nappa Leather, Heated Seat, Memory drivers side, extra adjustment on driver and passenger seat. APS 50 (not comand alas). Harman Kardon, Panoramic roof. 118k, FSH. I'll take some pics in the morning as I have washed it now.

 

[jeremytaylor]

I thought the car had an identity crisis.

 

[davidjpowell]

 

[wemorgan]

lovely car.......Merc isn't too bad either......boom boom!

 

[davidjpowell]

Well, the car is gone. I would like to say I am sad to see it gone, but to be honest it has had one hand in my pocket for far too long.

The only thing that really hurts is the £100 that my step-son has cost me by removing the bloody sat-nav disc without telling me.

It's now our second car, and I am told that we looking to go Audi cab this time. Time will tell.

 

[wemorgan]

So you've sold the E-class but kept the 9-5 in the end?
