Hi All,
So the S Classs finally returned from the garage after a long wait over the Xmas period for parts to arrive from Germany. It's had new bearings, new disks all round, new pads all round, new centre propshaft bearing and housing. To top it off she has had a brand new set of Pirelli run flat tyres all round to finish the job.
New brakes and bearings, centre prop bearing have made an enourmous difference to the car, so silky smooth now and stops on a sixpence!
My only regret is the new tyres..... they have made the ride harder and there is definately more road noise, which is exactly the opposite of what anyone wants in an S Class, but at £260 per wheel its not a case of just swapping them out for another brand..... will have to run them for a while and see if they soften up.
Out of interest, what makes of tyres are you guys running on your S Class cars... i always thought that Pirelli was a good make, but maybe not so sure when they are on an S Class.
