Yes if you disconnect the battery and keep for about 20 mins or so the ecu will go back to all the default settings. Once you start it up it will be on all the factory settings and some ecu's have a learning function where it will 'learn' and set some of the settings once you start it. So all you need to do is disconnect the battery for about 15-20 mins and it should clean everything off the ecu including any error codes.

Doesnt the D*MO showroom down Duplication Road have pre owned Mercs? I thought thats where they have the used stuff. http://www.dimolanka.com/special_offers/sp...px?OfferID=1050

Hey are you at Surrey Uni? I have a very good friend of mine who's studying there as well.

Ripper is right there. You wont get a wide range of colours with spray cans and I wouldnt recommend using a spray can pain for a touch up anyway.

3. Im pretty sure the face lift is 2006. Maybe the face lift didnt get to SL till 2007. 5. 1800cc engine? AFAIK the Kompressor is available on a range of engines.

Anyone got the Audi Quattro? That started all the four wheel drive cars

Are you guys forgetting the Lotus Elise / Exige. Im sure they should be classic

Anyone think the new Fiat 500 will reach classic status

A few things I do know about below: 1. any known issues with the model? Cant comment on this as I have not used one Did fine this: http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/index.htm?md=627 2. are there any recurring costs other than the things involved during a normal servicing? Any parts wearing off quickly? 3. when was the facelift model launched? What are the major differences in that model? Face lift was launched in 2006. The facelift version come with few exterior alterations – look for the fresh front bumper, more pronounced V-grille, deeper side skirts and active headlamps. Most changes are under the skin, including revised engines, improved safety kit and an end to brake-by-wire. 4. what options come in the ‘avant grade’? what are the other grades/categories? The Avant Garde is the top spec model with all the extras like leather etc. The grades are Classic , Elegance and Avant Garde 5. what is this technology called ‘kompressor’? The Kompressor is the Supercharged/Tubocharged engine units. 6. how eassy will it be to re-sell the car? The car should hold its value well. In SL mercs hold their value very well cos of the 'Benz' name but not sure about how easy it would be to sell as these things do cost quite a bit so I guess the potential buyer market is small. last but not least how much will a brand new 2003 fully loaded model cost? No idea about this but I saw a W210 sometime back on AL for about 8mil so this would be around 12-16 mil range?

Do you think the other one was worth about 2 mil then?

Very nice. Its a soft top as well. I guess the owner might expect more for this one. Price hmmm maybe 2- 2.5 mil

Ok ok a bit slow

Found this browsing around http://www.autolanka.com/ad.asp?ID=8582 Sharp drop from 2.3 isnt it? Guess the seller realised the price was a tad high

I loved watching his practice laps hilarious Did you see the Ford Fiesta review.... best review i have ever seen

You could see a very slight increase in fuel economy with good air filters as well as the bhp gain

This might have some cleaning agents so might clean up the fuel system but there is NO WAY you will get 30% power increase. if it does have some cleaning properties you might see a SLIGHT increase in mileage assuming your system needs cleaning. They probably wont even honour their money back guarantee it you go and tell them it doesnt work. as Ruslan said why arent all the car makers putting these in to their cars.

So whats next Gummy..... Bring it on

Trivia Lives again

Trivia is Dyiiiiing....

Well it wont be fair for me to answer

Happy Birthday man

Im sure they will be back when they get the money. Honda are struggling with their sales. The manufacturing plant is Swindon here in the UK is scheduled to shut for 2 months next year to cut production and a few months ago they parked 7000 new civics in an airfield as they were not selling. http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2008/no...otive-recession http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn41...02/ai_n30968923
