    Question for 2011 C Class owners - Stop Start

    Also steering related? i have noticed that mine never stops when I pull up on my driveway. At this point I have just done a sharp left hand turn. This is logical, as you would not want the engine to stop while doing a 3 point turn, for example. I must say I have never noticed the...

    Becker Map Pilot not muting on audio instructions

    Might fix itself I have the Becker too. When I was on a weekend jaunt the satnav started showing distances in kilometres. At some point it just reverted to miles without me doing anything. You could hope that it fixes itself. I've never had satnav before and have found it to be...

    Middle Lane Hoggers E-petition

    Get on with your life I don't understand why people get their underpants in a twist about this. If the third lane is free just overtake and get on with your life. On some sections of motorway the left lane is like driving across a ploughed field after a hard frost. Much smoother in the...

    Think bike

    Protective clothes "The worse case I have seen is a young lad on a 125cc learner bike wearing t-shirt, shorts and flip flops. Crazy." This appears to be standard issue when I have been on holiday in Italy. They wear helmets but rarely fasten the chin strap. They dart about with the flaps...

    My new C Class Elegance Edition 125

    C + S Modes I thought the switch to S mode would just affect the way the gearbox responded. This was the case with my W202 auto. It was difficult to detect much difference except that the gearbox changed down earlier when I was pushing on or when going uphill. With my W204 C220 7g there...

    My new C Class Elegance Edition 125

    W204 7G Auto I have been reading this thread with interest. I took delivery of my C220CDI in July and up to now I love everything about it. I specified Elegance in preference to Sport because comfort is the most important factor for me. I did consider going down to 16inch wheels but my son...

    Can anyone alter my car with adobe photoshop?

    i am willing to have a go. You will need to give me a pretty good indication of the new colour if it is to turn out looking realistic. The best way would be a picture including the new colour, so that I can pick it up with the PS eyedropper or just compare it by eye on screen.

    What Phone?

    New C Class and iPhone 4 I have a 4 week old C220 and an iPhone 4. The combination works absolutely brilliantly for making calls or playing music (or podcasts) via bluetooth. The phone stays in my pocket. I just have to remember to have a music playlist or podcast selected on the phone...

    Audio 20 display dim/bright

    Thanks for that info. Every now and then I learn something interesting on this site. I can't say that I fully understand the Wiki article, but interesting nevertheless.

    Turning Off at Lights & MPG

    I have just taken delivery of a C220 with stop/start. When ever you stop in traffic, at a junction or while dropping someone off etc. the engine cuts out. It is strangely silent to start with, but you soon get used to it. As soon as you lift your foot off the brake pedal the engine starts...

    British jobs for British people

    I remember in the sixties that there were controls for a while on cash being taken out of the country. There was a limit to how much you could take with you on holiday. There were no credit cards or debit cards in those days so it was possible to enforce it to a certain extent. I am sure that...

    Win 7 / XP Networking Issues

    Send it back Take it back. Buy a Macbook. All Windows machines are trouble sooner or later. Often sooner. I've had a lot of them. All have been frustrating. Got rid of them all - scrapped. I have a degree in computing but it doesn't help one bit.

    Any one got a car in Alabandine Gray - what color is it?

    Definitive proof that green cars are unlucky I would say! Just joined this forum. Hope it's a bit more objective than this.

    Any one got a car in Alabandine Gray - what color is it?

    Alabandine C220 Elegance I ordered a new C220 five weeks ago in Alabandine Grey. I have never seen one nor did the showroom have a sample. I chose it on the basis of web photos and because I didn't like any of the other colours! I had been waiting for the facelift model to appear so that...
