Replying to: Chariot (Nov 01, 2009 10:11 am) I too have an unheated garage that I store my 07 roadster in during the winter. I am sure there are many methods but I shall share my approach, so feel free to use/discard what you wish. 1#. I had an OLF completed 2#. Filled the tank with gas and added fuel stabilizer 3#. Parked the car placing the wheels upon 1/4 inch plywood to keep them off the cement 4#. Installed a trickle charger/battery tender – pulled electrical cord up toward windsheild 5#. Stuffed the tail pipes with rags and scented fabric softener sheets to deter mice 6#. Unscrewed the antenna and put in trunk (also put in a couple of fabric softener sheets) 7#. Placed an indoor denim cover (I was gifted this lovely cover – thanks Harold!!!) 8#. Placed fabric softener sheets on top of the cover and around the car on the floor 9#. Distributed mice bait along outside walls of garage (inside the garage) 10#. Placed moth balls along foundation of garage (on the outside) I hope you find this response useful and I wish you continued enjoyment of your Crossfire – I know I sure love mine!!! Cheryl

I bought a used (2005) Crossfire, but it has no spare tire. What does one do here? Are there small (temporary) spare tires available like other cars? Thanks. Ron

Replying to: ronlaw777 (Nov 01, 2009 12:24 pm) To the best of my knowledge none of the Crossfires have spare tires. I am going to speculate that they don't as the front tires are 18 inch and the back are 19 inch and if there were room for a spare tire, one would technically need two of the different sizes. I believe I read in this forum that they are run flats (do I have that worded correctly? or is that flat runs?). I can't verify this but I am sure one of the forum contributors will clarify. Additionally, beneath the carpeted area in the trunk you should find a couple of cavities that contain a canister/applicator that is for use when you get a flat. Exactly what the canister contains is beyond me. Having said that, I am curious if tires that are filled with nitrogen can accept the contents of the canister? Perhaps someone can clarify this. Something of note: My tires are filled with nitrogen and they came with a warranty. This summer I ran over a screw and took it to the dealership immediately. They repaired the tire and the fee was covered under the nitrogen warranty - a lovely surprise. (footnote- you have to take your car to the dealership where you purchased the nitrogen warranty or it will not be covered). I hope this information is helpful, Cheryl

Replying to: zq8 (Nov 11, 2009 5:42 pm) the oil extractors. I know the big debate is that the extractors really don't remove all the gunk on the bottom of the pan, etc. But since I learned that all the Mercedes dealers are using the extractor, I figure that's O.K. with me.
