Glass headlights are prohibited in the UK for any automobile manufactured and sold after about 1995.I am unable to recall the precise date... but, it occurred about within that time.

I have a preference for authentic Mercedes-Benz parts when it comes to most engine and gearbox components. The chassis components consist of Lemforder and Brembo parts for the brakes, while Febi parts are used for occasional filters and other miscellaneous items. These components have been reliable without any issues. My mechanic utilises some Febi components. He used to work as a diagnostic trainer for Mercedes.

I installed authentic MB parts, although I would have chosen Febi if they had not been accessible. I purchased the housing, which includes the temperature sensor and gasket.

Which engine should I choose for the C63 - the M156 or the M177?

Have you operated any of the models? -

The automobiles are rather distinct from one other, in my opinion. There is no definitive answer as to which is superior, the engine or the automobile. The one that you like the most is considered the finest, at least for your own preference. Both have distinct and contrasting vibes. I have a strong affinity for the M156 engine's auditory and tactile characteristics.....however, would I make a purchase of such a vehicle? Unlikely....the strong sensation of torque provided by the 4.0TT (or even the 157, which was never installed in a C) is more aligned with my engine preferences. Although I like the 204 C63, it is undeniably outdated in terms of technology, particularly the vehicle itself rather than the engine. The 204 model was introduced in 2007, which means it is already 17 years old. Additionally, it has an older style inside. Are you someone who prefers this classic interior design (which I myself enjoy), or do you prefer the current gadgets and aesthetics of the 205 model?As previously said, there is no definitive response that can be classified as correct or wrong. -
I believed it was intended for your collection of gold sovereigns.

In my possession, I have coin holders.

Later, I will examine my SL500 to see what I can deduce.

Personally, I shall allocate my efforts only to those whom I deem worthwhile. It seems like you are expressing the same sentiment.

To be honest, the combination of a sophisticated Euro 6 diesel engine with a Mercedes hybrid system seems like a very problematic and worrisome scenario in the long run. If I recall well, is there also a gasoline-powered variant available? That is precisely what I would be seeking, from a personal standpoint.

Comandonline is very proficient in their field. Audio technicians as well!

Do you have any recommendations for talented independent individuals to join our group?

In which district of London are you located? I am inquiring whether anybody can recommend a reliable independent technician that is very knowledgeable in STAR, Xentry, and other related systems. Dear Richard, Do you have any opinions or ideas once we are aware of the specific region or location?

The extent of the damage will be significant. It is advisable to abandon it and get an alternative.
-
I am unable to see that....in which specific location are you directing your gaze? Perhaps this substandard job monitor is the cause of the issue.

Charming.....I have always been attracted to the 190e model. However, the absence of alloy wheels, air conditioning, a 1.8-liter engine, and a 5-speed gearbox make it undesirable to me.

The convertible vehicle may have issues with water infiltration into the sills. Simply remove the drain plugs.

Maintaining the cleanliness of the hood might become a laborious task if the automobile is not stored in a garage. The primary reason I exchanged a convertible for the SLK is because my current vehicle is parked on the driveway. In winter, the fabric's weave becomes a breeding ground for green mould, which builds rapidly. During spring, the task of cleaning bird droppings becomes quite challenging, particularly on bright, sunny days. In regards to the airscarf, I consider it to be completely futile while wearing a coat with a rather high collar, as one cannot see its advantages. However, the heated seats provide a pleasant and comforting experience.

AG suggests applying an additional layer, particularly their Extra Gloss Protection, over the SRP. Previously, I used Megs Last touch as a solution for interim cleaning, nevertheless, I have now switched to AG Aqua Wax. Apply in a similar manner to a spray detailer, such as Last Touch. Simply spray it into a clean, damp vehicle and dry with a microfiber cloth. Straightforward.

I slightly flexed it towards the plastic lever, creating a gentle curvature to ensure its secure placement into the slot. The amount was little, about one or two millimetres.

Negative. Observe carefully the area located to the left of the spring's final position. You will be able to see the visible indentation caused by the spring on the black plastic component as it was being removed. The desired position is at the adjacent upper-left spot of the existing position, which is a huge teardrop-shaped hole. Observe the image I had shown in post number 3. If possible, applying a little flexion to the spring (towards the black plastic lever) can aid in preventing it from dislodging once again.

Despite my rather small stature, I found myself reclining on my back, with my head positioned in the footwell and my feet extending over the seat back. I aimed to avoid discouraging the original poster.
