What Have You Done To Your Merc Today?

That interior is lovely, doesn’t look dated at all. Has anyone even touched the steering wheel. Looks absolutely pristine.

Its an image from google. Mine needs a good clean, but its booked into my local interior magician next week. Just refitted the rear bumper after a new paint job. Always do the interior last

Errr SLK doesn’t have a foot operated handbrake…

Our SLK doesn't have a handbrake lever or foot operated handbrake, it's a push button on the lower side of the dash

New rear boots and a wash

Went back to Rain Sharks

Let know what you think of them I have them on the rear of my 212 E350CDI, & RS2's on the front.
The fronts are great but I am finding the 5's a bit noisy.

Just arrived somewhere in east Europe where is full winter, -18* but the petrol is £1.10 , the only bright side of the journey. After @1500 miles in less than 24 hours I started to think about the decision of having an cls63, and I’m not talking about mpg, I knew it from the beginning what to expect, but…extremely uncomfortable on long run, the noise is unbearable. Very happy about power, speed, german autobahn and many thumbs up everywhere along the way. That being said, after another @1.5k miles back I’ll let her go and try something else, more settled.

Still very impressed with my 212 E350CDI for long runs, even after 10 years. Enough power, comfort, & 48mpg overall.

The R171 does, and that’s what is in the advert…

More like what has my Merc done to me!

Oil spotting on the drive so time to get the oil cooler seals replaced - going in to be done in a fortnight I’m really interested to see whether the seals are the old orange or the new purple Viton type - the car was registered 03/12

Blame it on retirement Roger, it does funny things to your brain

180mph is pretty impressive!

Cleaned up engine bay, just a spruce not a detail!

I noticed there was no covering on the negative terminal of the battery. I'll contact MB parts to see if it's available.

Generally not covered as not the same risk as the +ve - just cover them in silicone grease to stop corrosion

Cheers, that's what they just told me

Will this (Lithium based) be OK?

The fronts are great but I am finding the 5's a bit noisy.

Can't fault them, had them before but went Goodyear F1 Assy 5 last time as the price was great.

The GY is nearly £40 a tyre more expensive now and as most of my driving is round town no point

The RS5 is better in the wet than the GY, noise wise I don't notice much difference

Put them on my Mothers W204 as well

Yes, that will work - if there’s any “green” clean it off with a wire brush them apply a liberal coating - I use spray silicone grease as I’ve quite a few tins of it lying around
