    A180d always pulling away in 1st gear

    I posted this question on the A-Class forum but have had no response, so posting it here in case anyone can help: I've had my A180d just over a week now. The car is a September 2018 model but with only 4100 on the clock. I love it so far but I'm struggling to pull away from stop without...

    W213 passenger window control button problem

    So her indoors was a bit over-enthusiastic when trying to open her window, and the button has dropped out of it's housing. Can anyone give me a clue as to how I get access to it? Do I have to take the door card off or does the housing just lever (gently of course) out of the fitting. I'm...

    Is it just me? More Sat Nav woes - E-Class S213

    <<Rant on>> So I've just spent almost 4 weeks driving in France. On the first day over there my Comand navigation resets during the drive and I get the message telling me that the maps have successfully been updated to the latest level. Great, I think, what good timing! A couple of days later...

    W213 Livetraffic not working after navigation update

    I recently had an over-the-air navigation update which has made some changes to the Comand navigation in my W213. However since then I do not appear to be getting any traffic indications on my maps. Previously the roads into Salisbury would nearly always show up as red because the traffic is...

    Mercedes me app: Car is unlocked messages

    Is it just me or is anyone else getting p****d off with the latest Mercedes me app repeatedly telling you the car is unlocked? It's forever telling me it's unlocked but when I look out, it's not. I've also had the messages a couple of times while I have been driving! I suspect it's got...

    Heated rear screen causes radio to cut-out

    Just wondered if anyone has come across anything similar. 2017 E-Class S213 I noticed a few weeks back that when I switched on the rear heated screen, I got an awful lot of interference on the radio. I just made a note to tell the garage at the next service (March). However this weekend the...

    Confusion over Roadside Assistance (Moblio)

    It's probably just me that's confused about the terms of the Moblio cover, but here goes: I bought a 4 month old E-Class in July. My first service is due in March and I'm probably going to go with an indi as I know a reliable one I can trust. As regards the roadside assistance, there is a...

    W213 Climate Control Temperature Display

    OK, so is it just me or have I found yet another poor design feature on the W213? If I want to see what temperature my climate control is set at, or the speed of the fan, or the air distribution, normally that information is visible somewhere in the display. NOT on my W213! If I want to see...

    W213 Seat belt buckle slides down to the floor

    I have a 2017 W213 and amongst the (quite a few) annoying features is the fact that the seat belts do not have any buckle-stop buttons, so every time you take the seatbelt off, the buckle slides down to the floor. The buckle-stop button usually prevent this happening and I can't remember the...

    E-Class estate S213 different size winter tyres

    So I have the new E-Class estate, S213 AMG style. The car currently has 20"wheels (not my choice, they were on the car when I got it). Tyres are 275/30 on the rear and 245/35 on the front (runflats). Looking at winter tyres I have the following choices: 1. Change the tyres only. Cost is...

    S204 High Level Brake Light (with washer nozzle in middle)

    I bought this from my local MB dealer just before I decided to sell my S204 and buy an E-Class, so it never got fitted. Still in the original box and brand new. Asking £80 which includes postage.

    S204/W204 Nearside (LH) Daylight Running Lamp

    I bought a new OEM DRL from China recently, but before it arrived I had decided to sell my C-Class Estate. When the DRL arrived, I fitted it to check it worked, and it fits and works fine, but is now surplus to requirements. As I said, it's new, works, and fits. The MB part number is...

    Comand - Saving destinations with a meaningful name, or renamimg them later

    So I have a new E-Class with Comand version NTG 5.5 and I can't for the life of me see a way to either give a sensible name to a destination when I save it, or rename it after I have saved it. When it saves it, it seems to just use the name of the road, most of which are totally forgettable...

    W213 Run Flat tyres on 20" wheels

    So I'm just in the process of buying a new (to me) 2017 W213 (Is that the S213?) It has 20" wheels with run-flat tyres which, to be honest, would not be my first choice (or probably second!), however they are on the car so I have little choice as I want the car! So I have some questions that I...
