Wink Major Problem with my 2003 s600

Can only find enough road to get her up to 140MPH here in Ireland!, well at least safely.

Help, haha

Any tips lads aside from jump on the boat to Germany, oh I'm based in Ireland so that's not entirely out of the question.

What a car, I love her.

Few snaps attached, what exterior mod's would ye make?
I now have the exact same problem Howard sorted recently, with the car lowering a little on the passenger side after a few days. Not all that mechanical, more technical but I ready his prescribed & well documented repair with interest, anyway any thoughts welcome , did I say what a car

A Mercedes obviously!
Did your car have any accident records? The "S600" badging on the rear bootlid is incorrect and to me that always suggests accident.

Hey, wow you have an eye, none that I am aware of.

The dealer gave me the original options print out & it was no badges or de-badged on original purchase, think the dealer stuck the badge back on. again well spotted, can you tell me how it should of been!

That's another possibility too, didn't think of that. Depending upon how much it annoys you there is somewhere on here the exact measurements of where it needs to go. Some fishing wire and "goo gone" are enough to clean it up nicely.

Your front brakes also appear to be AMG brembos and not the factory S600 brakes. Weird.

Those brakes are standard on all S600TT's in Europe.

Cool, and thanks for clarifying. I was googling all around looking to see how/why they were different, but that explains it.
