Congratulations these cars are fantastic and the power is unreal. The downside is the cost of fixing anything that goes wrong. I have a w215 CL65 and love it!

Oh no, stop it, I may 'need' an S65 one day at this rate!
I'm in South London, SE19. Yes, any recommendations will be most appreciated!
Thank you! I nearly went for a CL65 as couldn't find a W220 S65, but I missed out on the one I wanted. Luckily then my one came up! I think the CL's are awesome looking. Have you taken to a track or tuned it in any way?

Congrats on your S65 James. I can just imagine the power that has!
Check out Wayne Gates in Harrow N London for any work. He comes highly recommended on both UK MB forums.

Thank you! Yes, during my research I discovered that the ABC can be seriously problematic. I checked on mine before I bought it, and the last owner had the pump replaced not so long ago. Fingers crossed!
Thank you! I also saw a post the owner had made on here, and he seems great.
Thanks again

Can recommend Wright Tech in Sidcup, SE London...
Well done on the car. For me, the ultimate car of that era.
Even though my E55K runs at similar power, I would still love to own an S65 but I am not brave enough...

Yes, enjoy that lovely car!
As an education for us, could you post any future significant costs on this thread?
And, of course, any other tales you have from driving it, like...omg when I put my foot to the metal!

...us, but you mainly...
Exactly! I know it's an expensive motor but I don't know *how* expensive

Yeah sure. Hopefully there won't be any large costs, but perhaps it's inevitable!
One thing I have done already is install a freeview TV box, as the old analog signal is no longer supported. That was £250 all in. I also got them to run an auxiliary cable up from the boot to the front of the car, so I can listen to music. Kinda weird they didn't add an aux port in this model.....£140k car and no aux!
My next buy is a ViseeO MBU 3000 set for the phone cradle. After that, who knows!
