Looks lovely, like the colour combination

I would put Goodyear Efficient Grip tyres on it, they are considerably better than Pirelli and will be very quiet

I have them on 3ltr my CLK, excellent tyres.

Thanks guys, really helpful bunch here and some garages local for a stamp

The current owner is just having the passenger electric seat and mirrors repaired, they were found not to be working but the deal was to get those working and I'll take it..

I CAN'T WAIT MUCH LONGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m back!

So, been a delay while the car was meant to be having the passenger seat and mirrors sorted but the car hasn’t moved. The owner hasn’t taken the car, miles haven’t got up at all..

Anyway, he said I will make the effort to sort or I’ll knock £300 off the price!

I think I might just take the gamble with the £300 off and just go and get the thing.

So, what could be the issue?

The electric mirrors just don’t work at all and same with passenger seat, toning operates on it..

I did try the fuses when viewing but no joy unless I did wrong ones. Any common issues with these areas?

Thanks
Mark
