Y'know I was going to put plaque, but thought that was the stuff on teeth.
What's 'plack' where it's at home then?

Oh, and I've just remembered there's a little plack in the middle of the waffle iron thingy on the top of the engine that has the signature of some Italian guy to signify it was him what built that engine.

Well that one lives in Doncaster so I tend to not go for badges and do not have them fitted, same goes for other bits of trim, to do otherwise is asking for trouble. If people think it's a taxi, I've done it right, I didn't buy it for other people to look at.
Rear valance isn't where it's at on the AMG Mercedes Elegance suggest a look at the front valance. On a standard Elegance the thing is slotted and goes all the way across the front, on the AMG it is split into three sections and has a grill in the centre section, the collectors either side going to the brakes, like the one on my website...
What makes you think that it's got anything to do with AMG? Your picture merely proves that you have a debadged bog standard elegance (denoting trim level)

Look for water stains.
Examples with my cars have been weeping water pumps (as said above) and connections (pipe to pipe, pipe to block etc) that don't make a good seal. Rarely does the water escape all the time hence a need to check whenever you can.
One of my 120000 mile mondeos has a leaky pipe to cylinder block connector that can only be fixed with a radweld type product. Not leaked in months now.
I prefer petrol leaks. Far more exciting.
Anyone got a 100000 miles plus mondeo they want to sell?
