That’s exactly where mine is plugged in, didn’t acknowledge it’s existence on Media Interface, but on Aux it works perfectly

Cheers, will give it a go

Where did you route the ariel?

Detailed the Eclass inside and out today, and plugged it into the optimizer as I'll probably be driving the Citroen for a bit .

Good use of the breakfast bar :p

I agree I think you knocked the life out of that bush...

Thanks BC, we had the breakfast bar custom build just for car parts.......just don't tell the Missus what I did!!

I'm not game enough to try the parts.... oops dishwasher, after I washed a metal pot in the washing machine along with my grubby sands shoes many years ago :shock:

Off side arm removed and the bush seems to be a matching pair :shock:

So if you have a r230 and it creeks, groans and knocks on full lock, you know what to check ;)
Oh and you cut out 2 new tyres in less than 6000 miles :rolleyes:

Drove back from Center Parcs in Wiltshire in torrential rain this afternoon.
In spite of having some extra bhp added, the car felt very planted.
Perhaps I was too quick to slate the performance of the P Zero tyres a while back.

I have P Zero's on my car and I have no grip problems at all. If I had to find something to complain about I would perhaps say that they can be e bit noisy on certain road surfaces :)

I found the P Zero's a bit of a handful in the wet, exiting corners. The back wanted to step out and after Falkens and Goodyears I wasn't impressed. I still won't get P Zeros again when these need replacing (GY Ays5's) but in the rivers running across the road today, they performed well. It probably made a huge difference I wasn't pushing on having already found the limit.

We are talking chalk and cheese between our two cars of course, I have had my moments but not any more. I would probably go for P Zero's again purely for their longevity :)

We have P-Zero's on the SLK, find them a tad noisy.
Performance wise you can make any tyre loose grip if you try hard enough ;)
I've made racing Slick's loose traction :D
