  1. A single functional decoding site has eluded me at the moment. To the best of my knowledge, I've tried six. The message "Vin not found" or "Incorrect Vin#" keeps popping up. The only certain option is to pay around £22 for a comprehensive analysis from a business called Car Vertical. It would make my day if you could tell me about a functional decoding website.
  2. After looking at many AMGs with painted callipers, I can say with confidence that it is not dependable. Without exception, a PP is my top pick, barring a later MY with normal diff.
  3. Like with other PPs, I'm assuming it's option P30. Is that right?
  4. Salutations everyone, I'm about to witness an R231 SL63 that was made before the 2013 FL. It would mean a lot to me if someone could verify that the rear limited-slip differential is an option (471). The code wording strangely suggests a locking front diff?! Differential lock for the AMG front axle, acceleration skid control (ASR), and mechanical locking disc What is the option code for the performance pack, and how can I tell whether it has the extra power? It appears to have the LSD but no power boost, which is strange. Yours truly.
  5. Screw that, I'll build a bespoke manifold, attach two T66s, and mount the intercooler on the top of the car.
  6. If I hadn't gone on a whole Scrooge rant, that is what I would have proposed.
  7. Buying that automobile would be the worst financial mistake you could make. Do Get something reasonable to spend your money on; you'll be doing yourself a service. I won't be nasty, impolite, or pissy if I say this, but it's astonishing that you're investing in a 21-year-old automobile that may explode under increased acceleration (because you have no idea what the inside is like) instead of using that money toward your education.
  8. Over the weekend, I had a comparable discussion about potholes with another person. We both agreed that the worst thing is that drivers and riders are so preoccupied with crashing into craters that they fail to look more than three feet ahead of their vehicle for possible hazards.
  9. I saw that you have a plug on your table; was that ineffective?

  12. My recommendation would be to remove the remaining fragments of the damaged insert and then secure it using a method similar to this, using adhesive or hot glue. Considering the plug's shallow depth, it's an inexpensive gamble to see whether it works.
  13. Do you happen to have a pair of staggered AMG Style IVs? Those wheels do sit very deep in mine, so I'll be curious to see how you fare.
  14. I don't think the gearbox oil has been changed before, but I've just had the car since December. The oil was changed at 62,000 miles. The prior owner may have been a city driver, but I've only owned the car since December, so it's possible they were.
  15. Since it was sent to them by the garage from whom I purchased it, I'm taking a wild guess, but I can't be positive. Tomorrow, it will be taken to a nearby mechanic for another inspection, however I am not expecting very optimistic results 🙄.
