Since my last post I have done more digging on this and my dealership were adamant the 9000 reset with full synthetic was correct and as high as it would go so I raised this with Merc customer services as I wasn't satisfied. At the current rate of count down I was looking at less than 5 months...

I did go down that route but the dealers stated they couldn't pick off someone else's stock as the availability of the CLC is so limited they are each supplied a small allocation. Mercedes told me to phone every dealer in the country which was out of hand. I visited two dealers today and they...

The problem was as soon as I raised it with Merc, they took the deal off the web straight away as they agreed they could not honour the deal. Second problem was pre-launch you could NOT get your hands on one. No one could offer me the sport model to upgrade to. We were not being chosy but if...

Great. That's a BIG jump in Co2 just for a set of 17" Merc boots. Swines. Thanks

Just like to whinge about Mercedes UK and have now lodged a formal complaint. My Mrs drives a 2006 C 180k Coupe and late May saw an advert for the new June '08 UK launch of the CLC with a free sport upgrade (worth about 1k). We visited the local dealership and were advised the offer is only...

Hello I have started looking at my A200 tax band and suspect it may be in the wrong band. I have a 2005 A200 CDi which is tax banded as 153g/km Co2 which is a current band D at £145 notes a year. All research shows it should be a band C (I think). The only thing that I think 'may' be an...

would anyone be interested in attending a meet/event I am arranging at Rockingham? www.rockingham.co.uk Track time will be available on the 2.6 mile international long sports car circuit (not a requirement). 15 minute slots (anything from one slot upwards. Ideal if you want a taster of a...

I am happy with Stirling area as it's about 25 minutes for me.

the dealer is 100% they selected Full synthetic and it is right to show 9300 and will adjust as I drive.

this warrants a phone call in the morning to clear this up. Thanks Mark

got car back, £327 lighter for C service (including brake fluid change) and states 9300 miles to next B service :( fingers crossed I get a good bit more. Asked for a better explanation and the service guy says it is worked out on how much braking you do and a few other factors.
