Ah the dreaded MB wings! At least I suppose they are easy to swap out if you felt the need: basic toolkit stuff!
Sounds like the car was fairly solid over 20k miles, bar the eventual big failure!
Reckon had you broken it you could have actually turned a profit at that money!
Interesting about the tyres; is that the same for all W140s? Imagine they are hopeless in snow: LWB and RWD on skinny tyres ain't a great combo for traction!
Weird about the keyfob, that would irritate me!
Cheers, A
I don't remember why but the front tyres wear heavily on the edge of the tread, the rears wear in the centre, swapping them gets the most life out of them. The key issue might not be common, it wasn't something I looked into.Sounds like the car was fairly solid over 20k miles, bar the eventual big failure!

Been and seen this one when I was collecting my 6er. You're not mad, you're my hero
