Still looks good. Mercedes still sell the centre caps for these wheels if you don't have them, even with pre-merger AMG logo.

Looks awesome. It was seeing these on your car that convinced me to get a set. Took a while to find them, but I am happy I did.

Congrats on the new business!

My guess is CSA, but I will need to give them a far better clean to see if I can find evidence of that. At this stage, I am not even sure if they are 6" or 6.5"

My bolts were not up to the quality of the wheels so I have been playing with cleaning them. FIrst I used the autosol metal life saver which made a difference. But they were still rusty. I soaked the ends in the autosol stuff for 4 days and they are much better, could now rub off most of...

Tyres now mounted. ] Went with Michelin Primacy 4.

Does anyone have any experience with Bundt copies made in Australia? Looks like my set were made in 1988. They seem a high quality copy as it would appear they have the steel inserts for the lug bolts. I imagine they are cast, not forged like the genuine Fuchs units, but I really have no...

Sorry to hear of your troubles. I think the issue with the dealers is that there wouldn't be anyone working there who was around when these cars are new, and most of the dealer techs are used to the modern Mercedes still in warranty. Better to find a good independent. Yes, please do post...

I had them done at Barrel Bros in milperra. There were so many bad coats of paint that they needed a complete back to metal refinish. Two of them were also very slightly bent so needed to be fixed. Total cost was $1490. Not cheap, but the wheels are now as new and to take them back to...

Styria sent me these photos of some work he is doing on the Almond rover. He's been playing with a beefier fan with more blades and a six blade water pump impeller to make these cars run cool on hot sydney days.

Arrived today. Took a few more photos:

wheels are done and on their way to me:

I think it will be quite handy for cars that don't get a lot of use. Can quickly see how things are going with the battery just by walking past.

A while back I ordered a couple of BM2 Battery monitors. Its a bluetooth enabled battery monitor that you can [it to your battery and get information about battery health, charging rates and so on to your phone. They are not expensive and its quite a useful tool to monitor the health of...

On the topic of transmissions, I've always found it interesting that Mercedes-Benz are the only one of the smaller manufacturers (that I can think of) that design and build their own transmissions. Obvously the likes of GM, Ford, Toyota etc do it. But the other contemporaries of Mercedes...

Just standard Michelin Energy XM2 205/65 R15, date code is 2016 so not that old yet.

The whole saga of the Citroen Traction Avant Automatic is really interesting - Andre Citroen was going to use the Sensaud de Lavaud transmission, which during testing would overheat going up hills. Sensaud de Lavaud blamed the citroen engineers for sabotaging his transmission because it 'wasn't...
