Have you seen this junker for sale ?

Look at this, recent engine only 2000 miles ago.......what a piece of.....

I'm sure this is the person that was moaning on and on about 350's burning oil, and we all went back at him/her for damaging resale values......now the fact thats its HAD a replacement engine is a selling point and those that haven;t should be avoided......what a tw*t. You reap what you sow !

benzworld is more active/fun but it seems to have problems lately. Maybe they need another server upgrade like they did last year, it did wonders.

Probably got something to do with the levels of censorship and the attitude of the forum moderator. He runs it like a dictatorship. You may say "What censorship" but remember you only see what he wants you to see. Personally I find this forum much better, it just needs some more people on it. The look and feel of the forum is much better.

In some countries such as Australia there is nothing sacred about the old engine. People would rather a new engine than one which burns oil.

Since Mercedes are the only people that do work on a car like that then no one would care.

I found this forum a year before I found benzworld a few years ago, when I thought about purchasing the CLK500 cabriolet, I got used to this forum and like it very much, hardly has problems. Benzworld never worked but after the upgrade it got much much better. Benzworld also has a moderator that owns the r171, so he could provide alot of info that this site doesn't. I've also notice you will get a lot more replies about mods here than you do the other. This forum is much more active with the CLK and C class. Traffic for the SLK seems to be lacking.
