Mercs only have basically conned me on several occasions and i'm not sure what to do now, i tried going to them for a refund on Brake fluid change, Spark plug change, Air filter change and they rejected even after i showed them the report i recieved from the mercedes dealer themselves. The...

OK, I've had my W204 now for just over six months and as this is a still considered a "new" model and one which Mercedes have made a big fuss about in terms of the reliability gremlins of past models being a thing of the past, I thought I'd start a thread for W204 owners to report any issues...

Hello.... been looking at various cars to buy.... done an RAC Car Data check.... Can anyone shed any light on what this means? Was the car stolen? does it mean it is still registered as stolen? or does it simply mean its been stolen at some point and recovered? thanks

Dear All, As some of you are interested in my little trips to the continent, I thought I'd report on progress so far... Arrangements were very rushed, due me being out of the country on business for the last month. Nonetheless I managed to arrange everything including the visa within 24...

Hi All, Just something I am working on over at an Australian forum. Keep in mind that AMGs are a very rare thing indeed out here. So I'm in the back of a taxi in Melbourne, heading out the airport. About to head home to Sydney for the week, I received a phone call from Brisbane (stay with...

Hi All, I just got the RAC report on the car we are planning to buy. It lists a few problems, most are minor such as scuffed wheels, stone chip in screen, small crack in wheel arch liner etc. There are a couple of parts missing: Small grille next to front fog light, drivers side sill tread...

Hi All, Just happened to be watching some TV last week in the US, when NBC Dateline aired a special report called "To catch a predator" about trapping paedophiles in an area called Petaluma, and I understand that this was not the first trap of it's type. If you have kids that use the net...

There was a long thread about the high cost of Mercedes Servicing earlier in the year and one of the reasons given was that mercedes dealers were struggling to make any money.:rolleyes: Well here's Daimler Chryslers last quartery report. They seem to be doing alright?:crazy...

So, the report notes: "Single carriageway roads once again dominate the list of roads where death and serious injuries are both routine and predictable. Some of these consistently higher-risk roads have been at the top of the list since our work began in 2002. This begs the questions: “Are...

After agonising for too long about which tyres to get and where to get them I finally took the plunge today and had the new Michelin Primacy HP's fitted to the rear (225/50R16V) of my C270 Estate, to replace the Bridgestone Turanza ER30's. The Bridgestones seemed far too stiff in the sidewall...

So I took my C270Cdi Estate for its first ever trip to my local dealer (MB Chester) – the cars an Oct 04 vehicle that I bought in March 05 from MB Direct with 6000 miles. I only really use the car for long motorway journeys, and it’s shown service A at approx 18,500 miles for some time. I...

Yep - I picked it up today - about 30 minutes ago. Many thanks to those who provided the part numbers etc - the guy at the depot told me they have a whole bunch to send out for back orders - so yours should be here soon for those that ordered them. Okay, so its the V5.0 Nav Disc. I'll keep...

I've had the RR Sport for a couple of days now, and really getting to like it. The first things that spring to mind is how refined the thing is. It's quieter to drive than the CL, and engine noise is almost silent from the 2.7 diesel unit. The steering is quite heavy, but this thing flies for...

Cost £790 plus VAT in the end, with £450 odd being supply and fit front and rear brake pads and front discs. Oil £117 though! Have to say, at 40,000 my service costs total is now £1100 plus VAT with 13,000 until the next one. Cheaper than I thought it would be when I bought the car. 2.75p...
