Looking Dave......

Well dan, she is light on the back end slippy as a box of eels. No paddles on mine, gear change is left and right on the selector gear stick, but it's just useless. 5speed auto and 4 speed manual. Gear ratio is shocking when in manual selection.

Ok, where do I start. After problems with my beloved zed that no one could sort out, I decided to sell up to avoid impending financial heart ache. I trawled the web and eventually found a mrecedes slk 200,one owner with only 31k on the clock and fmsh. Took it out for a test drive but wasn't a patch on the zed, but still it was a replacement car for the interim. Having lived with the car for nearly six months and driven a poultry 2500 miles in it this is my report. Great build quality with nice soft touch interior. Well appointed controls and steering wheel controls for various things, radio, trip etc. being an auto, it sometimes gets confused as to which gear to select at the appropriate time, which, when overtaking it fricking annoying. No dropping down a few gears and giving it beans. Oh no, overtaking is an on the spot, "risk assessment". So this is a negative on the slk. Gear box is undecisive at critical moments. As its a fairly light car, going round roundabouts is or can be "fun" especially when the roads are damp or icy. However the ESP, kicks in, auto box drops down and we are back on the straight and narrow. So a semi positive for the Slk. To get the best, loosely termed, out of the engine and gearbox combo, you really need to rag the arse of the car, this is where it really turned into a zed eating monster, unleash the beast within.....NOT! The ride, Well I would liken it to being tortured, really yes. Within 10 mins of driving it, I have such a bad pain in my right leg and buttock, I need to adjust my seating position for temporary relief, then it's back. So a huge negative here. The drive, Suitable for short journeys, quite refined with regard to lumps and bumps in the road, which it soaks up quite well. No drama here. Servicing costs, £200 for a mid level service. £450 for a full service at an indy. So relative to a zed I suppose. Fuel, Well all I can say is, the zed was better on mpg. 1800cc supercharged is way more thirsty that the zed was. Even driving like, slow, it's rubbish with mpg. So in summary It's a sh1t car. IMO

Go to halfords, you can get spray grease there in a blue n yellow aerosol can, that's what I use, good stuff IMO.

Come on come on, spill da beanz....

I said it in person......you know already

On the doors nope, you need silicone grease or similar. WD doesnt have the life span od grease, and gets washed away quicker. But you could try, no harm done IMO

That cos your hot stuff graham....

get them nickle plated.

fog lights are required by law Jim...... however, the button should be described as "rain light", thats when they are mostly used. As Dave does, full beam up their chuffer, thats what I do cos it annoys the tits off of me as well..

I can arrange a "back, sack and crack" if you wish.... May help you slide into your suzzies easier..... I just wish I actually needed a haircut.... I think the last time I visited a barbers was in the 90's

dave.....

captain.......they are taking the p1ss outta my car. would have thought there were better things to be doing, but eh, kids will be kids......

LM ok for door bungs,only a smear required on these mate, you gonna need spray grease for the suspension.

open the doors, and near the top on the inside of the door, you will see a black rubber bung. same in the boot lid. anything on the rear suspension that can move, lube it. Get under the rear end and you wlll see the bushes quite clearly, dont forget the droplinks also need a drink too.

yes you need to be a student, or teacher, and its legit, my son has bought from there before, as have the company i work for. they employ adult apprentices who are at college, therefore qualify as a student...
