    Why? Just why?

    Looks like original car is a CL500 with lots of AMG mods beyond the obvious vomit exterior. Definitely a case of buyer beware given its advertised as a 63AMG, which would have had quad oval exhausts and drilled brakes

    All C43 AMG owners - What shall I do?

    I understand why you're suggesting this, however, I think most likely the tyre manufacturer would examine the tyres, not find any manufacturing defects and report back as such. They would be unlikely to state it is a 'fault' with the car causing the wear patterns. They would probably just refer...

    it probably would under certain conditions, mainly hell freezing over and pigs flying... look what notice MB/a dealer took of the ombudsmans ruling

    All C43 AMG owners - What shall I do?

    Ordered my C43 before the crabbing came to light. Since then I have had an extended drive of the dealers demo car on same size wheels as I have ordered. The car did crab but only on full lock and only when the tyres were cold. My car is still on order, not sure I would sign a waiver though...

    Advice needed for new car delivery late >2 months

    Delays happen, my c-class is delayed by almost 2 months due to HUD system availability issues. I'd be more concerned if it was going to be delayed beyond the first of April and the new VED rules and cost implications which you may not have allowed for when you ordered

    New look to my car

    Love the centre console wrap. Not keen on the external badges but certainly looks stealthy and ETTO

    Knocking on steering on new GLC

    I agree, none of the photos seem to show a particularly tight turn. The initial photos look like the car hasn't turned at all and just driven straight in into the wall (I'm assuming the OP was aiming for the tunnel?), it also looks uphill which would suggest driver needed to apply a bit of gas...

    Yes was for a C43 given this is a C43 thread. Seems to have been some confusion as some members are commenting on GLCs as well

    Didn't say I was going to spend the 4K on wheels and tyres, just wanted thoughts on what seemed an extortionate price. Was the £750 just for wheels or wheels with tyres?

    All C43 AMG owners - What shall I do?

    2 main reasons really: 1. If they are already on wheels then I can change them over at home so more convenient 2. Avoids risk of damage to alloy or tyre having them taken off twice a year

    Rough price for winter wheels (i.e. Wheels and tyres) from the dealer for C43 coupe...£4k Is it just me or does this sound extortionate and potentially just profiteering by the dealer/dealership now that they advise fitting winter tyres to address the knocking/crabbing. Set of 4 tyres should...

    So... Extended test drive in a C43 coupe today with my factory order due to be delivered early March. I had already expressed concern to dealer RE crabbing issue, got usual winter tyres line from a senior technician but dealer agreed to let me take the car out on my own to form my own opinion...

    Sorry, misunderstood the meaning in your response. I guess it all depends on his situation in terms of finances, dealings with MB to reject car etc. If MB don't/won't come up with a fix for the issue, dealer refuse to accept a rejected car and refund Snooky then his options would be sell the...
