Got a full set of interior led kit in bright white, which I haven't installed yet.
Bought from brabusw209amg on this forum.
If anyone is interested to buy, I will ship it to you for 60 euros

Hey guys, Just an update from me.
My car didnt get to the dealer until yesterday! the towing company took forever.
Anyways, it got there and the dealer told me he didnt have time for 2 weeks! So i laughed right in his face and left. Driving the car back home about 15km without the aircon on which seemed to keep the belts spinning most of the time. Luckily i was at home just in time as it started smelling and burning already.
I took it apart today and it turns out the crank pulley or; Vibration Dampner is busted. The rubber inside the pulley was all burned up and spacious causing the engine to shake out of balance and made the belts slip.
Luckily, the dealer was able to find a new pulley close by and it should be in tommorow. Did set me back over 400 euros for the pulley and another 10 for the aircon belt though but im happy i was able to replace it myself.
Oh well, i think its the first thing that really broke in its 212k KM's life so i guess i shouldn't complain that much and while im working on it anyway, i'm going to clean the EGR and remove the swirlflaps also
See u guys at the next meeting hopefully

@Ballistic - While you are there, change the waterpump and main thermostat also if you don't want to redo the work again when it will be -5 degrees outside and you will have no heating in the car ( happended to me last winter with e39 and i've changed both thermostats) ( it will set you down about 180 for waterpump and thermostat). You should have a lot of clearance from underneath of the car, just remove the shield and jack the car up on ramps, otherwise you have to remove the fan and fan guard from above.
