    Nav module

    I have a 2014 registered C220 and Becker/Audio 20 combination, and can confirm the speech recognition function does indeed work. Press the button (R/H side of wheel) and speak an address. The Becker will search - sometime successfully, sometimes not...

    Becker map provider

    Planning a Europe trip in the summer, so updated my Becker MapPilot. Noticed maps are now referenced HERE in the content manager. Is this a reference to Nokia HERE, and their map provider? Anyone know if Becker have changed map provider?

    Nice surprise

    Thanks for your comments. I look forward to updating this thread after my visit. As this is a combined day at our suppliers and MB World, I guess I won't get to see all, but sure it will encourage me to return.

    Nice surprise

    Long story short, got taken to one side at work today by my boss - 'Quiet word please...'. Thought I was in the dog house. 'What are you doing May the ??'. Turns out he and a colleague 'won' a VIP day out to one of our suppliers factories for a manufacturing tour, lunch, and the afternoon at MB...

    Blue liquid tank

    Thanks Graeme - I see what you mean about the acrimony! Just so everyone knows, I have read my manual many times, and viewed the interactive manual many times too. My car is 12 months old, does not have a filler along with the diesel cap, and no BlueTec, or Blue Efficiency badges. Have to admit...

    Blue liquid tank

    Was chatting at work today, and a colleague asked if my car needed this Blue liquid stuff topping up. Apparently her husbands Mercedes needs it, and it is £37 a litre? I have heard of this in some cars, but am not sure which it is for. I believe it is to do with diesel efficiency and emissions...

    C Classe W204 Estate

    I have the (2014) C220 AMG Estate, with 18" wheels. Halogen lights, according to the manual/handbook do not need adjusting for driving abroad. Wheel/tyre size does make the ride hard, and potholes can be alarming. I was advised to go for 17", but the AMG I stumbled across has 18" standard...

    Dealer service - is this the norm?

    Only a couple of replies - thanks for those. Doesn't seem to have struck a chord with many, so presumably the perceived good level of service is not unexpected, despite the may comments on the forum to the contrary. I'll see how it goes in April.

    Dealer service - is this the norm?

    Well, soon a year on from delivery of my first Mercedes, and it is service on April 1st. I am in Norwich, but purchased from Lincolnshire, just felt the sales was treating me personally. So, to return complement I am returning to Lincolnshire for the service. I have a courtesy car - no charge...

    Unsure about engine noise

    Thank you. I sort of expected that was the case, but it is nice to have it confirmed.

    Unsure about engine noise

    Now the weather is a little cooler, I am noticing when I start my 6 month old C220 CDTI from cold, say first thing in the morning, that it sounds a little knocky perhaps? Only for 5 seconds or so. Is this normal. Now covered around 7k miles. Oil level is ok. Any comments appreciated.

    French Toll Road Sanef Tag

    Yes, I have used the French AutoRoute site to do the same. Was just asking what the actual experienced tolls were.

    French Toll Road Sanef Tag

    I am doing the Cannes run late July, via Dijon and Lyon. Can you say what the toll cost was? Last time I looked on the web it said around 99 Euros I think, each way. Does that sound about right? Looking forward to getting the C Class AMG Sport Estate loaded up and on the AutoRoute - but will...

    C-Class AMG Sport mudflaps

    Thank you DRWood. Nice to hear actual experience of the item. I think I will order a set. My car is Polar White, so I suspect the contrast will work well - have privacy glass too. Interesting you painted yours, as my idea is the opposite - do away with the stone chips, etc. on the body kit.

    French Toll Road Sanef Tag

    Further to this first post of mine, I have now read the Dartford Crossing is to be barrier less, and use ANPR. So no use having the tag there after all. And the car fee is increasing from £2 to £2.50 :confused:

    French Toll Road Sanef Tag

    I only got my Sanef UK tag this year, and it was on the website then. Was recently in Italy, and noticed the barriers lift pretty swiftly after the tag is read.

    C-Class AMG Sport mudflaps

    Thanks for those comments. I had them on a Honda Accord several years ago now. I am finding the AMG body kit on my car gathers the tar and odd chip, so is why I was considering. Hadn't considered the wear though.

    C-Class AMG Sport mudflaps

    Has anyone fitted these, and are they of a quality befitting the C-Class? I am wondering if they look good, fit well and stay that way. http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002GT8MRG/?tag=amazon0e9db-21

    French Toll Road Sanef Tag

    Not sure if this thread mentions this, but I believe Sanef have the contract for tolling at Dartford crossing, and perhaps this autumn their tag will work there too. For those that use this regularly, may be worth getting it now at Eurotunnel price, before we get UK charges with 100% uplift!!!

    Polo decides to join on a live race at brands hatch

    Just read on BBC news web site that a 21 year old man has been arrested on suspicion of false imprisonment with relation to this.
