  1. (Wunderpartz, a company based in the UK that sells similar products but not these, is where I obtained the part number.) With Mercteil being based in Latvia and their bank in Lithuania, I figured it was worth a shot because they accept PayPal. Even if nothing comes up, I should still be able to get my money back. By the way, I'll be sitting down in the morning to enquire about the main dealer's price anyway.

  3. PRESS RELEASE - The feckers have been located. And, ultimately, it is an original equipment manufacturer (OE) fitment.
  4. Genuine AMG brake calliper, aftermarket but not counterfeit. If you'd rather not use the center caps that came with the car, I do have a set of inexpensive ones with the 'Affalterbach' crest that you can find on eBay. I wanted to use them with the red CLS 63 SB, but I couldn't find a way to attach the 'Affalterbach Special Edition' badge to the dashboard. On the flip side, the calliper appears rather functional, with the anti-rattle spring and the rear of the outer pad visible in all their blatant redness. This isn't looking good at all...
  5. I have found the perfect silver plate. I wish I knew where to get a couple right now. Increased likelihood of rocking-horse drama!in my opinion. It needs a miracle because all the information I can find indicates that it was an aftermarket fitting and not original equipment. According to AI, you should get a metal plate stamped with the AMG emblem, paint it red, and then attach it using a product like JB-Weld.
  6. Is this OE part number? I've looked everywhere online, but I can't locate a metal plate with the AMG emblem raised on it. Is anybody else recognising it? It would be great if it did, but if it doesn't, I'm starting to worry that I'm too far up Sh!t Creek for a paddle to make any difference.
  7. This grey 2007 ML63 imported from Japan is the vehicle in question. I am unable to locate a replacement for the rear brake calliper trim piece that has departed. The one that remains in place is this one.
  8. Thank you for your response. I have consulted with our local dealer, but they have given me contradictory advice. I will try adjusting the charging percentages to see if it helps, but I suppose I should be content as long as I consistently get results above 300.
  9. We used to get consistent charges and then the range dropped a little; however, we charge to 100% every time, so maybe we should start charging to 80% instead? There are a lot of factors that can affect the range, and I am aware of them. For instance, during the summer (which was exceptionally hot this year), the electric vehicle's range can vary. One day, it will charge to 300 miles, and then around a week later, it will charge to 375 miles, which is the highest range we've experienced. In winter, the range remains the same, but obviously lower due to outside temperatures. I was hoping for a consistent figure, if only by a few percent. I don't mind the accuracy of the car's display and the range driven; if this is the norm, then I can live with it. Fortunately, we don't have to rely on a full 370ish range for long journeys.
  10. Thanks for the info! I've taken note of that.
  11. Salutations everyone, With the exception of the ICCU problems I experienced with my previous vehicle, which led to its exchange by the dealer, I have owned a brand new EV3 GT Line S (81.4 kwh) for the past eighteen months. While I understand that charging varies from season to season, I've noticed that the car's range can fluctuate by as much as 70 miles in either summer or winter. This could simply be the car's typical characteristics, but I've never had any problems with it. Is this normal, am I doing something wrong, or is there a trick to getting a more consistent charge? I've tried conditioning the batteries, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. My home charger is an Easee 7.2kw model, and we charge it until it reaches 50 miles of range. We've never used a public charger because our trips aren't long enough to warrant it.
  12. Discovered one via Parts Gateway that appears accurate. The vendor verified that it originates from the same year as the W203, thus I anticipate that the £54 was a prudent expenditure.

  14. Indeed, the distinction appears to be that the extended link on my version has a curvature directed toward the NS wing, whereas the eBay variant lacks this feature.
