    Internal camera that I can look at through my phone with motion detection

    You have a link ? I am actually looking for something similar for our office. Our office is in a building which is meant to be locked when we ain't there. But we suspect people have been coming to our area and using the kettle and sofas. So want to be able to see via motion detection if...

    Mercedes E class MOT failure <sob>

    Ahh fair enough. Hopefully you hear back pretty soon. When mine was done they found the hole, then got back to me within a week about it being replaced. Though they did still have the car in the mean time as they did the Oil Cooler seals for me too !

    Mercedes E class MOT failure <sob>

    When is the MOT ? I would be careful welding it, and wait till MB replace it if you can. Never know they might try and wriggle out of it, if you have it welded saying it voids the warranty or some rubbish.

    Mercedes E class MOT failure <sob>

    MY E350 is a 59 plate. Its a C207 like your the Cabriolet version. so yes it is the same. Exactly the same car as mine probably the same OM642 Engine too. They did mine no problem, but like i said they did tell me it was only cos it was serviced with Mercedes before.........But they probably...

    Mercedes E class MOT failure <sob>

    Can confirm my 2009 E350 had the full rear subframe replaced last Xmas due to a small hole, that wasn't picked up on MOT. But was picked up 2 weeks later when it had a service. My local Merc dealer said Merc will do under it as a gesture of goodwill cos the car had always been serviced by...

    **Unofficial Tyre Thread**

    I can second this. Got them all round on my car and grip better than the PS5’s i had. No aquaplaning either !

    **Unofficial Tyre Thread**

    Yeah i'll be double checking them once they are fitted tomorrow. I think i usually put about 33 PSI for the rear. What do people follow here ? the spec for the car ? mine is inside the filler cap. Or the tyre manufacturer ?

    Thanks so much. I may go for Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 on the back slightly cheaper but still with brilliant reviews.

    Can anybody recommend a rear tyre for my Merc ? The front had a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 5's on at XMAS. The rear size is 255/35/18 but i can't seem to find Pilot Sport 5's in that size. Maybe something like Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 ? Or Continental Premium Contact 6 ? Really...

    The Witcher series (Netflix)

    I have not seen the Witcher. But i watched Blood Origins. Purely because i done some acting for it. But my scene was cut. I know the shot a huge more bunch of scenes for this and they was cut. It felt very short and rushed to me. Character stories could have been more in depth. Lenny Henry is...

    Mercedes Benz and AMG Owners

    I paid £512 in total. But that was to literally replace the seals. Don't think they've replaced anything else, which i'm fine with. The original £700 quote included new oil cooler at £160 which i didn't want. The car is very close to 200k miles so i don't want to be spending lots on it...

    Mercedes Benz and AMG Owners

    On the same note, They called me Friday to say the Oil Cooler seals won't be done till today as its taking longer than anticipated. Was expected to be done today. They then called me back, originally they found a slight hole in the rear subframe. Quote me £2000 to replace it. Anyway they have...
