I must have missed this post so have just checked, thankfully it's the later serial number, thanks for the link

Engine check?

Thanks, still a bit nervous of it. Had V6's before (Golf 4motion and Nissan 350z) but this is in a different league. Just so solid and feels very expensive.....as it must have been from new!

RfShe's home! What an amazing car and so solid! The spare is a space saver and has a pack of bolts sealed in their plastic case. The locking wheel nuts are on the car with the bolt in the black case. Even the plastic wind deflector has the mercedes cover in the boot along with the mesh cover...

Confused now:( Will have a good look when I pick it up next week and see what's in the boot:rolleyes:

Yes, definitely please. I am picking my car up from Christchurch, Dorset and live nr Southampton so well within distance of a meet, thanks:)

I don't know, it came via Mercedes in Exeter to a local dealer. Am guessing it was too old for them to retail? Just looking at the mot and service history, the last service was 2016 and MOT, then about 100 miles before the previous mot in Jan 2019 and I asked for a new mot and service upon sale...

:) Always wanted an slk, can't believe I have finally got one:p

Thanks, I am definitely going to take it there for the atf and yes probably the plugs too. The dealer has done an oil and filter change and pdi but it has only done 100 miles in 3 years (been garaged) so it could do with a proper check over by specialists. I am a bit obsessive with my cars so...

My other car is an Audi TT Quattro, she's called Suzy:oops:

Hmmmmm, always call my cars she, maybe it's a he this time? Time will tell:(

Thanks, I looked at MBS webpage last night, looks great and only about 9 miles from me. Will be booking her in for sure for the atf change and checkover.

:D Will probably need one now I have an slk!

So should I get the gearbox fluid changed again even though it was at done 20k miles ago (at 27k miles) but it was 10 years ago. Am guessing it will deteriorate over that time?

Have done now, thank you. The advice I have received already is well worth the joining fee, what a great club!

Hi everyone, update as promised. Well, I tried to look beyond the high gloss, mint amg wheels and all the toys (10k's worth) and had a really good look underneath with an led torch. Had a good prod about, the only corrosion I could find was on the metal painted struts (?) which support the...

Thanks everyone, really appreciate your advice. I am armed with the buyers guide now and off to look at the car. Will update later

yikes. Thanks, have printed off the buyers guide on here which is brilliant. Definitely going to join this club, so helpful thank you.

I know what you mean, I have just sold my classic Ford, which had sailed through every mot for the last 10 years (apart from sill covers fitted) until a few years ago I took it to the local tyre place and they put down oil leak, brakes imbalanced, wheel bearings etc all as advisories. None of...
