The part about the duo valve failing seemed to fall to the cutting room floor. We had a few sound issues and the battery went flat on the camera during the first part about the corrosion on the body.
Its not perfect but there are a few useful hints and tips.

Yes it is.
The first few I did for the car sales channel I did a script but kept messing it up. I am much better off the cuff. I just need to remember to not mumble and speak up. I was useless at the start but I am getting into it now.

That was a fast car. The 55 is certainly faster and much more planted at 150mph.... In Germany

Nice video.

Did your car show any signs of the Valeo contamination symptoms being an early W211 E55k?

Excellent review for any potential buyer

Has the rad been changed on the car before your purchase. Or did you address the possible Valeo contamination issue?

He said he crashed it so had to replace it bud so that would have negated that one

 

[350cls]

Indeed he did I should pay more attention!!!

Do any E55k come with a factory LSD. Or is it an after market mod?

If they did I suppose it would be on the specification sheet?

 

[AMGeed]

I believe it was an option with the 030 Performance package.
It was a factory Salisbury diff, not a Quaife or Wavetrac.

Apologies for the thread derailment Olly.

O99 I think for the AMG differential, not sure if this is standard on them all.
