    E53 or something else

    I hear your concerns. I have been in exactly the same situation - owning the same car since 2016, which as you mention, is the best car I have owned too. I bought it outright as a keeper and so am wondering what to do. I know that there are lots of advocates for going electric / hybrid out...

    Generic windscreen or OEM?

    Hi - I have a w212 E350 2014 and had a replacement windscreen a couple of years ago. The insurers - mercedes own policy underwritten by Markerstudy - refused to fit an OEM Mercedes stamped screen and said they would only do so on a vehicle up to 12 months old. I had purchased the policy with...

    Winter tyres and sensor warning message

    Yesterday I had the 18' summer wheels / tyres on my 2014 E350 AMG line estate switched over to a new set of 17' wheels with winter tyres - I know, a bit late now that it is almost Spring like outside in London today! I now have a warning message saying "Tyre pressure monitor inoperative - no...

    E350CDI fuel efficiency

    Yes, I bought it from MB Brighton on 27th September with the MB approved warranty. I live in South West London so might be easier to take it to a dealer locally (Great West Road). Thanks for your advice.

    E350CDI fuel efficiency

    Thanks to everyone for your replies. I wanted to add that in my search for a car earlier in the year, I had initially been looking for a E250 but was put off by the injector issues and the fact that none of the dealers I contacted had any of these cars with the spec I was after. So I test...

    I haven't checked engine temperature but will do so later today. What should I expect to see after 10+ miles?

    E350CDI fuel efficiency

    Hi I bought a (March 2010) W212 231bhp E350CDI auto estate from a mercedes main dealer last week after having looked at and driven several examples over a period of about 4 months. The car has done 38,500 miles. Does any one have any up to date experience of what I should be getting fuel...
