    2021 GLA - Traffic Sign Assist showing wrong speed limit on Display

    Thanks for the reply. Checking paperwork from supplying main dealer. Has “Pack Premium Plus: “Speed limit assistant by reading signs using a camera” I get the point about sat nav cartography being out of date but, in some instances, the displayed speed limit of 80kph would never have been in...

    I bought a 2021 GLA 200D Amg Line 6 weeks ago, low mileage and reasonable spec.

    W205 C CLASS FRONT SPRING LINK BALL JOINT FAILED AT 21000 MILES?

    Just spoke to Rebecca in Mercedes Benz UK customer service department. She said a contribution was a possibility but I will need to pay the cost of diagnosis. It will be a gamble as I am sure they will say, as I have had 21000 miles use from the part, they won't cover the full cost. Just...

    W205 C Class Comand Latest Map Version

    Just had due 'Service A' carried out, a bit surprised that changing 4 spark plugs costs £111! On the plus side, the "Greasing sunroof rails" at £23 was carried our free of charge. Say no to either of these and your Mobilo cover is invalidated. On collecting the car, I was pleased to find a sheet...
