Are you only doing that because you can't drop the roof

Nice! Is that calculated or WHP?

Interested to see what gear the run was in.

E: NVM obviously Wheel power as the first run was around 500bhp, which is around 580 Crank HP.

Impressive numbers, 20 WHP shy of the V12, and 100 LB-FT short. A lot less weight too!

Put the summer wheels back on the Clk , nice hot day to do it . Whilst I was there cleaned up the rear brake pads and re-copper slipped them .
I did notice there is a lot more rust under the clk rather than the E class even though they are both 2009 cars . It's got it's mot next week so I may try and tackle it in the next few days (the rust isn't an mot issue yet) . There are actual rust blisters on the underside of the boot floor , it's going to be a case of just doing what I can access , I don't fancy taking off any exhaust heat shields to look for rust . I'm hoping that maybe there isn't any under the shields because the road salt won't have got there ?

Mobilo man is my new super hero. He went to the nearest MB dealer and returned with new and appropriate battery £136.00. Scoffed at my mention of Star diagnostics (We're way beyond that now) and politely suggested I'd nudged the speed limiter - the car hadn't gone into limp mode. Oh joy, no mechanical disasters, no charges beyond the price of the battery and no long wait for a workshop to squeeze me into their busy schedule. Top down motoring is restored to it's rightful place in the sun.

Important note of thanks
Unless I'd avidly read this forum, I wouldn't have known I had Mobilo cover. I couldn't have bandied terms like 'Star diagnostics' or 'limp mode'.
Who knows, I may now take command of the speed limiter controls. I'm learning my Mercedes.
