Many thanks for all advice. Gone for the recommended 18" set up via tyremen.

Dear All, Apologies if this has been covered previously. My C63 has 19" wheels. Planning to get some winter tyres, would buying a winter set of smaller 18" wheels be sensible? Would the, I presume, narrower tyres give an appreciable benefit in snowy conditions? I don't mind buying a second...

I'm in Bury St Edmunds (Suffolk) but happy to travel in east Anglia to get it done

Hi. I'm based in Suffolk and keen to have a Quaife LSD fitted on my C63 Can anyone suggest a reputable garage that could undertake that in the East Anglia area please? Many thanks. Bob

Hi. Have C63 with 18 months warranty remaining Would fitting an after market LSD have any effect on my warranty? Thanks. Bob

I would be interested however my car still has 2 yr warranty left. I take it this would be detectable and invalidate any warranty ?

Suspected as much! Just wondered if any of the apps were useful. On my previous X5 I had an app that sent routes from google maps from phone direct to the satnav. It was really useful and it's the thing I miss most about the car!

Hi. Got this in my 62 C class but never used the online features due to having an iPhone. I'm thinking if changing phone to allow me to use it. Is it worth it? Not sure how useful the online actually is. Any thoughts very welcome thanks

Have always used PocketGPS in the past and found the database pretty accurate. I've just uploaded it to the comand in car satnav- works a treat including audible warnings and nice not to have an extra gadget in the car

Hi. On my C class 62 plate there's a feature that I think moves the steering column and possibly the seats to aid entry and exit. I've got it switched on via the multi func steering wheel but nothing happens. Am I missing something? Thanks. Bob

Here's the latest text- 4th hassling contact in a week! Hello , it's **** from Mercedes Benz ****. How is your Car? I need a great favour, if i may ask. Mercedes Benz have sent you a Satisfaction Questionnaire. It will be located in either your Inbox or Spam or Junk mailbox. I cannot stress...

I can only assume he isn't the sharpest tool in the box. I found him so infuriating during the buying process I complained to his manager. For him to think I'm going to score him 10/10 is laughable. Ironically I'm trying to be kind by just not filling review in!

Are they that very important to MB salespersons? I bought my C63 estate in January and I've been plagued by emails and more recently phone calls about this- 3 calls last week. He says he'll lose his job unless I give him full marks! Dilemma is that he wasn't a very good salesman and if...

Thanks- where abouts are you based? I'm in Suffolk. Can I ask couple questions- is it a day job to fit? Does it need any special servicing requirement and if so could it be done via my local MB dealer? Thanks

I spoke to my local dealer. They had no idea how to go about it and said even if they did fit one it would invalidate the warranty which seems ridiculous!
