Oh my god £67.33 for 2 liters :(:(
Thats what I call expensive , and thats after 10% discount.
I always buy MB genuine fluids but....... I coughed at this.
No wonder lots of folks leave it!

Just hoping its the one litre differential, not the 1.2L or 1.6L, as they say I can return any unopened bottles.

I wonder if these are the new Brexit weak £ prices coming through. Maybe I should buy that strut, just in case the price goes up like Johns ABc pump did.
:(:(

Has anyone heard any news about price rises, re the weak £.???

I know you have bourght Merc diff oil , but I thought that Fuchs was factory fill for diff oils ....give opie oils a ring I think they are about £13 for a litre of Fuchs .

R230 SL500 - oh yeah!
My eyes have strayed elsewhere unfortunately.....and that elsewhere had still a V8 5.5 but with twin turbos and 557bhp....and its only 2 years old and has of course a year left of MB Warranty and only done 22k and....
Only thing it has extra is a roof and another 3 seats and a boot to actually take stuff in. This is what happens unfortunately

Hey John

Sorry to hear of the trouble you're having with the SL. You have certainly spent a lot of time and money on getting it right and it's sad to see you decide to move it on. You certainly were very generous with your help when I was looking for mine late last year and for that I am very grateful.

Maybe you'll get to keep the SL for a little while and enjoy it before it goes....the weather is getting better and is asking for the top to be dropped....

Cheers Raj, don't be put off by my experience- I am almost certain someone will buy mine from me and be posting on here in 2-3 years time waxing lyrical on how fantastic a SLs are and how his or her motoring has cost nothing and hassle free! Just your luck.
Anyway I'm on another path and think I've found 'the one '

How long will it have 557 bhp ;-)

I hope it's wagon, they are much cooler

I looked at a 14 plate CLS SB 350 CDi AMG Line today at Exeter MB, sooooooo pretty, now that is a lovely car with a V8 up front

Just saying ;-)

That is indeed the question, turbos = GAD or MSL!
It's a saloon - sorry just we will have the XC90 for wagon use and I think the E looks better in booted form IMO...
And.....that looks nice you know you want to!

A good point, however I was trying to avoid continuance of the open wallet surgery I've had to endure over the past year...albeit Dave's is entirely voluntary and justified!
