Sorry for not getting back sooner Riksta but as mas said. Another one of the little gems this vehicle has that needs to be "dicovered" by reading the manual.
Only thing is though when you take them out of park mode the wipers do a full sweep again so make sure they are down (forgot once) & the windscreen is clean so they don't smudge. I don't clean my front or back windows with my waxed car wash while I clean the car, I do them separately to keep the wax off the glass. |

On the train of 'I thought it was a design fault' thought, Left hand stalk up and down controls the respective DRL when the car is off. Found out that when my daughter who is 16months old was playing. I then read the manual but still not sure why it does it?

In the MA (no DRL's) this feature is the follow me home lighting. Flash the headlights after you stop the car and they stay on for 30sec to light up your path at night.

So I picked up this nice 2010 MB Titanium for my wife and ..well..being a wheel guy I had to do something so we've fitted up some 19x9.5 Koya INOX Aston wheels. I reckon it came up great. What do you think?

Spot on. The wheels are a great choice. Love the styling and the ride height of the wagon

Those rims really suit it, and agree with loving that ride height.
Looks incredible.

OK, now you're just showing off! :P
Nah as I said in my last post, looks incredible. Really growing to love the shape of the wagons, I didn't really consider them when I purchased mine but they're growing on me every time I see one.

Will share more shortly when I have them uploaded etc.
On a side-note I have a set of 20x8.5 in this same wheel to suit mondeo/focus that were sent to me by mistake if anyone is interested. I know this isn't a trader section so I'll say no-more but PM if you are interested.

Yeah easily enough room for the 245 tyre - I'm also running a higher profile too...and it still doesn't scrub.
