CLS’ all have COMAND so a garmin SD card won’t do anything. Your nav is updated with a disc, which can be done by an MB dealer if you give your local site a call

All MB dealers were informed about 6 months ago that AR had been discontinued with immediate effect. All vehicles built from June onwards should be expected to arrive without and we were told to notify customers with existing orders. They removed the option from the brochure immediately too

I can definitely confirm that there hasn’t been any Black Friday offer. They’ve only ever done that once, which was a good few years ago, then they did the upfront payment offer last year which I can only assume was to improve cash flow during the pandemic

It’s definitely something I’ve seen that seems to be specific to GLB. I’m not convinced it’s every GLB, but the majority do seem to need a good slam to get the door to close properly. At first I thought it might be the rubber seal they have against the door sill, but GLA has exactly the same...

This is definitely not the case, a starting price of 150k would certainly not be competitive Initially in the UK it’ll be available as a limited edition 55 model, then the 43 will follow that. 63, normal 55 and 63e will come later

Either way, call Mercedes me

MBUK customer services won’t be able to help with this. You’ll need to call 00800 9 777 77 77 and speak to Mercedes me directly

If your car has electric boot opening and closure, then the key and button in the door should work. It’s standard fit on UK spec cars

Erm….that’s a CLA45 Coupe

First official image surfaced

Some are coming through, mainly lower spec cars. I have a couple of premium cars and a premium plus that have now been stuck for 3 months with no news to give the customers

The new model year for S Class was launched on Friday with some minor changes to colours and a price increase of £1,200. It said that S580e and S680 will have a later sales release for this model year, so I’d assume that will come in the next few weeks and then the configurator will be updated

An exec pack adds Garmin nav, heated seats and parking sensors, so it should definitely have a card

Sounds like you have maybe a standard spec AMG Line or SE, or a car with a premium pack. If so, you won’t have COMAND so won’t have CarPlay. You’ll need to get it retrofitted by somewhere like integrated automotive

It’s not the case that every single car is going up every month. I saw that a 20 plate E Saloon dropped about £200 into October, but quite a lot of cars have gone up again this month, more drastically with SUV’s.

I can’t see the increase continuing, but I also can’t see the used car market plummeting, particularly while new vehicle production remains such a challenge and is expected to remain that way for another 18 months. Some of the price changes I’ve seen at work have been mind blowing. People...

In normal production times, ex-factory normally means it’s on the way to the UK. I’ve seen a couple of colleagues get caught out by this recently, having told customers their cars are on their way and they’re not. Realistically that’s down to them not looking properly or a lack of knowledge in...

No problem. It’s a pretty awful time to be selling new cars to be honest! I hate letting customers down and having no news to give people isn’t good. I’m checking my orders daily and they’re just being released randomly and can be on hold for weeks or even months.

I can shed some light on this. Because of the current semiconductor supply issues, the majority of vehicles are being built, but then held at the factory for a while, most likely waiting on parts being fitted that aren’t available during production. You dealer is not telling lies, it will say...

It means that you’ll need to pay for a main dealer service before you can take out the service plan. The main reason being that your recovery will not start until a service has been done, so if you break down you will not be covered until it’s had a service, whether paid in full or claimed on...
