“Brakes are sharp as a pencil” Riiiiiiiiight

Ah, my bad, I thought it was a 172 Cup from a quick glance. I still think it’ll do well but yeah not proper Cup levels.

Thing is that they’re on track to be the next 205 Rallye so from a collector’s point of view you’d pay a premium for a verifiable low mileage car and tuck it away for a decade. Sadly, no-one in their right mind is going to drive that thing, the value is all in the low mileage. It wouldn’t...

It’s because the seller doesn’t pay any fees. Usually there’s fees on both sides but CC loads it all onto the buyer. It’s a lot….. minimum fee too don’t forget. 6% of final sale price with a minimum of £1200 and a maximum of £7200. But yeah, I think that will do very well.

Is the right answer, I got in there today and I can see it’s not sensing it’s end stop and is jumping as it tries to move the arm it’s connected to. Thanks @Sash , I’ll order a replacement.

I kind of blame Brabus for this to be honest. They started selling diesel tuning through Mercedes dealers, so technically you could argue that that car has Brabus bits on it. Assuming it has the map. Still not a proper Brabus, obvs, but for the deluded it probably justifies the badge in whatever...
