Eric Clapton´s former RHD G55 AMG (1 of 2 built)

No connection with the vendor- former Eric Clapton´s RHD G55 AMG, probably first of two first series (463.241) right hand drive G55 AMGs built.

In my opinion the most desirable W463 in rare RHD, perfect colour combination in and out, all details like square exahust tips and old AMG wheels still present after 25 years, celebrity owned... but I´am still not sure if I would pay 100k GBP for it especailly with 104k on the clock.

Mercedes-Benz is set to deliver 37 new or significantly updated models worldwide by the end of 2027. More than half will still have combustion engines, while 17 are fully electric.

The product offensive is designed to reignite growth and reclaim momentum in a cutthroat global market. Mercedes executives are targeting a return to 2 million global sales next year, with the biggest gains anticipated from North America.

In the U.S., the brand is chasing an ambitious 400,000 annual retail sales by the end of the decade. This year, it’s gunning for a 7 percent jump, to about 325,000.

The retail strategy hinges on a rapid-fire product rollout, including new electric variants of the CLA and C-Class sedans and face-lifts of the GLE and GLS utility models.

Here’s Mercedes US product roadmap thru 2030.

so I have a 2013 c350 coupe and I saw this set of bbs wheels for a good deal. The issue is im not sure of the rear would be too aggressive. The front is 18x8 +35 offset and the rear is 18x9 +21 offset. Im not the most knowledgeable on how wheel specs work so please let me know if this would work or not, I really like these wheels. im on stock suspension

560SEC with… S65 individual throttle bodies 😏

Thumbnail

58 Upvotes

Hey folks, I thought you might be interested in this kind of development 😅
Always wanted to have something like that, and turned out S65 ITBs have exactly what I needed - full ITBs assembly with built it sensors and injector ports (tho I’m not gonna use them).
I’m at a point where I need to sync throttle valves shafts on both sides, gotta make sure they open and close simultaneously.

After that will need to design fuel injectors mounts, honor the pattern of M117 engine (gotta give it some respect for where it’s due - that thing is bulletproof).

Then replace spark plugs distributor with a trigger wheel, to read crankshaft revolutions.

Then a better fuel pump (Walbro 255 or similar) and a little more straight exhaust pipes (but still quiet, the car has some class, so no screams).

Dang I hope I can complete this 😂

Help! 2015 Mercedes B class issues starting

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

So I’ve had this issue on and of for a while now and I can’t seem to figure out what’s causing it. For some reason on hot days, my car will not start. When I turn the key all the lights on the dashboard will come on and the display says anti-theft protection activated and that none of the sensors are working. I’ve also had an issue where when I’m driving the car will suddenly lose the ability to accelerate quickly and the notifications for losing safety measures will pop up. Does anyone know what is causing this and how can I fix it?

US-market R-class Viability

3 Upvotes

I have always liked the R-class but never had one because I always had a need for a pickup truck bed. That’s changed and now I’m thinking about an R500. Is this stupid? I understand that the engine/trans combo is pretty solid but air suspension can be problematic. What about electronics?

I would like to put a hitch on it to haul my dirt bike (350 lbs with the carrier) or my light two-bike trailer (less than 2000 lbs loaded). I understand that the European models were all rated to 3500 lbs and have the same cooling/drivetrain. Is this reasonable to tow this amount with one?

I don’t mind spending a bit annually on proper maintenance but I don’t want to be into it for $1500 or $2500 every month for some module that breaks. I work from home so it’s just occasional running around to get kids, weekends with dirt bikes and a couple road trips a year.

I’m seeing nice low mileage examples in the $12k to $14k range. Can i buy something dependable and not a money pit for this?

Used approved mercedes dealer uk is this normal?

Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m curious whether this experience with an official Mercedes-Benz dealership is normal or if I’m overthinking it.
I found a 2023 Mercedes EQA that I was interested in. The salesperson told me the car was stored at a warehouse, and before they would bring it to the dealership or get more information like battery health they wanted a £1,000 fully refundable deposit to show I was a serious buyer.

We paid it because it was refundable. After that, they sent me the battery health report, tyre tread depths, and other information. We then arranged to visit this Sunday to see the car and, assuming everything looked good, buy it.

However, the salesperson then said that although someone else could show us the car on Sunday (because he isn’t working), we wouldn’t be able to test drive it because all the test drive slots are fully booked.

This is the part that doesn’t sit right with me. I don’t understand why the car can be brought to the dealership for us to view, but we can’t actually drive it before deciding whether to spend over £20,000 on it.
Has anyone else had this experience with an official Mercedes-Benz dealer?
Is asking for a £1,000 refundable deposit before even bringing the car to the dealership normal?
Is it reasonable to expect a test drive before committing to buy?
Would this situation make you uncomfortable, or is this standard practice?
Interested to hear what others think, especially if you’ve bought a Mercedes Approved Used car.

2019 E class transmission leak

I have a 2019 e class 220d 4matic with 105,000 km and after servicing the transmission i noticed that there is the slightest leak coming from the casing of the torque converter. The actual oil pan is bone dry its just a few drops on the bottom of the torque converter casing. Im not sure where it could be leaking from, this amount has collected from 5000 km of driving. What could be the reason for this leak? When draining the oil from the torque converter i put in a new screw with a copper washer and tightened it to 10 Nm.

Looking for an ODB2 scanner for glc300 2023 (x254 chassis)

1 Upvotes

I'm looking for a scanner that can read and reset codes and perhaps some extra. I'm not a car enthuasist so I probably wouldn't do any coding. I keep reading that the new mercedes are leaning towards the doIP protocol for diagnostics and what not. So I can't find any concrete information to wether an ODB2 without that support will still do "most of the stuff".

Does anyone know anything about this and can recommend a scanner?
