    100,000 miles club

    Bad form to quote yourself I know but the old girl is still going strong. I gave it to my son just over two years ago who sold it to his friends father. It has gone straight through two further MOT's with no significant issues and has now done approaching 340k miles.

    Just sold one of my cars to a friend

    I gave my 2011 W212 E220 CDi with 312k miles on it to my son just under 3 years ago who sold it to his best friends father a few months later. He has put it through two further MOT's with no advisories and has now done just under 340k miles and is still running well. A bullet dodged and they...

    AMG GT-R issue - help required

    There was a thread on either here or Piston Heads recently re insurance cover being invalidated because of a non declaration of PPF. Might be worth a read and make sure your insurance know about it if you haven't already declared it.

    No codes but it felt like you were driving over a cattle grid under acceleration.

    Juddering ?transmission related

    Had similar with one of my E Classes. The torque converter was replaced under warranty and the problem was cured. Might be worth changing the transmission fluid first if it hasn't been done. Used to be scheduled at 37.5k. Edited to say beaten to it by the post above.

    Armrest stowage jammed shut on 2018 c43. Any ideas?

    Assuming its a convertible does it lock on the central locking system for theft protection if left with the roof down? My SL would default to locked when the consumable battery voltage dropped a bit after standing unused for a while. The answer for me was a trickle charger when off road during...

    W212 coolant leak from the fuel filter housing

    Be careful if you continue to drive it and keep a watch on your temp gauge. I had a the same issue on my W212 with a slow leak and low coolant warning and topped it up not knowing at the time about the leaking fuel filter housing gasket. The car decided to dump all its coolant in one go when...

    BMW/Mercedes

    I have had four Mercs over the last 20 years, one C220Cdi and three E220 CDi's, and have driven over 1.2 million miles in them with no major issues, all run as business cars. Very economical, very comfortable with good luggage space, and the dealer I used was very good over that time bothy...

    Top-up Coolant

    Might be worth checking the water pump for leaks, this is a known weak spot. Had the issue with mine a few years ago and from memory it was not that expensive to replace although Mercedes replaced mine free of charge. I had previously taken it into Mercedes for a pressure test after getting...

    advice on car with no MOT and no VED tax for 3 days

    Having read the OP again, reading between the lines, it looks like that could be the situation so driving to the first garage would not be covered, but driving to the MOT would be ok.

    advice on car with no MOT and no VED tax for 3 days

    That is reading like you are taking it to one garage for repair first, then driving to another garage for the pre booked MOT. Would be interested to see where it says that if you have a pre booked MOT and repairs at the same garage, and the garage looks at the car before it performs the MOT...
