    Run Flat yes or no?

    Normal tyres for me over run flats, my current car is a GLC that has Michelin SUV tyres and I cannot remember the last time I had a puncture it’s certainly many years. I suppose to compare though you would need to try both variations on the same car but where to do that? Robin

    9G auto box reset

    I have experienced the hesitation from the 9 speed box at roundabouts in a couple of Mercedes cars and it’s quite unnerving but mostly eliminated when in sport mode. My current car a 2021 GLC does not seem to have this issue or at least it’s not arisen yet so maybe also software related. Robin

    Side rubbing strips etc.

    Alcohol wipes or spray works for me, WD40 may work I’m not sure but getting rid of white dry polish marks can be done but sometimes needs a bit of elbow grease. Robin

    Electronic Parking Brake not disengaging

    As Pete said take it in and ask them to look at it again and impress on them to enter the details of your complaint properly on the job sheet and get a copy for yourself should it arise out of warranty. Good luck. Robin

    Have all motoring manufactures given up on SAFTEY?

    MBUX is pretty good mine will understand me for most commands such as heating, volume, navigation, phone calls, changing tracks, heated seats etc. Mind you some of that goes out the window if connected to Apple Play when Siri seems to take over phone calls and navigation to contacts, maybe the...

    Have all motoring manufactures given up on SAFTEY?

    If anything cars have gotten safer, I agree that fiddling with touchscreens can be distracting but most of the motions can be done from the steering wheel but again some would find that distracting but virtually all the things I need to do in my car can be done by speech so no need at all to...

    2023 GLC 300 Petrol MHEV - Revs highish at start up

    I think it’s normal, on start up mine sits at higher revs for short time then drops to a steady tickover. Mine is a 2021 GLC300 with 48 volt mild hybrid system. Robin

    W212 Car Mats

    From memory my mats were around £80, as my car has saddle brown leather interior I ordered the brown rubber mats from Germany via dealership, they are very dark brown and you would be pushed to tell the difference to a black set. Robin

    W212 Car Mats

    I purchased a set of genuine Mercedes all weather mats for my 2021 GLC from main dealership in Norwich, these are heavy duty rubber mats and they have already fallen apart where the ribs in the mat are, my heels have broken down the ribs and this is on a very low mileage car it’s only done just...

    GLC 250d ticking sound on wheel turning

    I have a 2021 GLC fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport SUV tyres (not runflats) and have not had this issue at all. I believe there was a mod for some earlier cars to the suspension but cannot say for sure, I love these cars so good luck with yours. Robin

    Which watch?

    Try Christopher Ward products they are U.K. company making some decent watches and some around that price, I purchased one for my son that was around that range but cannot remember which one. I have two of them, the Trident range are decent. Robin

    Service Plan and personalised registration number query

    I had the same problem so in my opinion Mercedes do not link to DVLA, mine was like this for ages and my personal plate kept linking on Mercedes sites to my previous E Coupe, it was not until I had the car serviced at the dealership that it then changed to my current GLC. You can of course...

    Mercedes Warranty Quote

    Thanks for the replies, my letter arrived today so I extended the warranty for 12 months at what I think is a very reasonable £432. My dealership has an hourly rate of around £160 per hour so it would not take too much to go wrong to eat into £432, that said my car has only just topped 11,000...

    Delay in cranking on turning key

    My only suggestion is double check your new battery in the key, it’s not that unusual to have new batteries that are low in voltage. Robin

    Mercedes Me?

    It may have affected me but maybe I did not use it during this time
