2003 E55 sedan
<div class="bbWrapper">Evening everyone, managed to pick up a really nice 53 plate E55 sedan from a lovely chap down towards Brighton. Took the train down to collect and had a solid 3.5 hour drive back to Taunton, car was faultless. Few of many questions for you guys, can anyone suggest a decent Indy Merc garage in the Taunton somerset area? I can manage brakes, servicing, <a href="http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_nkw=valve+cover" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">valve cover</a> gaskets, that sort of thing, but I know my limits. Also can anyone suggest a decent and reasonably priced diagnostic tool and workshop manuals, sorry if the later has been covered loads of times, I have started looking at other related posts. Thanks very much for any info, much appreciated.</div>

I'm really pleased with it. I'm busy reading and watching YouTube vids at the moment, bit confused actually as car is a mate 53 plate, but I'm able to use paddles/buttons when transmission is in comfort, which I didn't think came into play until 04/05 still lots to learn.</div>

Well you did me a favour there I think. I was looking at that a few days ago, really feel like I <i>need</i> a full fat AMG in the fleet. I could do with a slightly more practical daily so I'm loving the C32 estate that's in the classified section but I like my CLK, perhaps I should have CLK63 but then if the rear seats fold in an E63... First world problems eh? <br /> <br /> Enjoy the car mate it looks fantastic.</div>
