discounts, but don't trust images I went to take advantage of ECP discounts over the weekend for brake pads and found the photos for some manufacturers included pins and clips, others didn't. Last time I ordered pads from ECP, they didn't shown kit as included so I found the kit and purchased...

Indy near East Grinstead I've used InAutos MB Specialists at Hobbs Industrial Estate, Newchapel, which is just over the border in Surrey (bit scarey I know), a couple of miles North of East Grinstead. Pedro, the boss has encylopaedic knowledge. I've had them to service both SLK and C200 -...

Sea Service Due

Thanks for replies, especially the cautionary notes. Seems wise not to risk it so looks like it'll be the Ctek jobbie for me!

Can anyone give a definitive answer as to whether it is safe to connect a microprocessor type charger to the car battery without disconnecting the battery from the car? After searching the forum I have come across several members' posts which say that they do it and that it is safe. I then find...

Great post and photos. Thanks

ditto, thanks.. anything AMG, lots of horses, just a couple of seats, black or silver and not running on electricity

Thanks for replies. I certainly never knew that there was the possibility of a setting for an annual option. Will investigate further and ask my local independant next time I'm passing. in the meantime will probably reset because I had a B service about 300 miles ago.

About a year ago, when I purchased the car, part of the deal was that the dealer gave the car a B service. This was done. Every so often I have looked at the service info and have become quite used to seeing the display gently counting its way down to the next cashectomy, which should be an A...

Elsewhere in the forum, I've found references to both IR and radio, when it comes to smart key operation. In addition to the questions in my original post, could there perhaps be anything in this, IF for example, IR was to work on driver's door (there might be something special about driver...

Can anyone shed any light on my latest MB annoyance, namely that the key will only work on driver's side of car (07 W203). Smart Key batteries are fine and issue remains same when using spare key, which has nearly new batteries. I have recently had the issue of sporadic passenger side mirror...

If South London, then Wheel Works in Fleming Way, Crawley might work. They refurbed a set for a friend which looked very good. He was pleased. I think it was two hundred and something. They have website with pics and prices.

Charged you for £20 quids worth of paraffin for the test drive? Wow!! Unbe****inglievable. Anyway, good luck and enjoy.

A big thanks to alll you nice people who pitched in to offer help on this one. I can tell you, the potential realisation that you've been had and that it will cost thousands is a horrible feeling and it's been a nightmare for 3 weeks. RESULT!!! The dealers from whom I bought the car 9 months...

Unless anyone can give you real hard info, why not just try doing it and providing you don't commit yourself to buying a brace of Mercs, see what happens. Undoubtedly, you be 'on side' with a very good friend in the salesman from the second dealership and/or the general manager. If anything...

I was just about to buy a 2007 C200 Evo and I had the idea that should come with properit evolution mats, which I dare say cost an absolute fortune from MB. It has no mats and the dealer is saying that he's not sure whether they even still come with special mats. I know that floor mats may...

How to take a reasonable looking car and ruin it. Looks like someone has done a cheapo crash repair using body bits from a breakers yard. It even looks as though one wasn't enough. Pic from Benztuning.com

No experience of car finance but isn't there some kind of cooling off period for credit deals?

Wow Grober, you've certainly posted some ugly pics! Re some of the comments about new Range Rovers - I think it's real shame that such a fundamentally outstanding vehicle has been blinged and pimped to a point which causes me to spontaneously lol at the driver. Around my way, this will usually...

Do any of the more 'trading-savvy' members, or indeed other fine folk, know whether it's Irish plate should have any impact on the value of a C220 I've seen for sale?
