A couple of weeks ago, I handed over my E-class estate 220 CDI after three years of PCP. BCA inspected the car on-site and collected it. I received a letter from M-B Finance a few days ago thanking me for having looked after my car well and for having kept it above expected standard. The...

Not really sure about this huge plasticky front bumper which serves no specific practical purpose. As already stated above, it makes the CLS and the E class look alike. I really hope they are not going to adopt the upright screen used across the lower range... It is so out of keeping with...

Dear All, I have been offered by MB to change my car (E estate will low milage) for a new CLS Shooting Brake and my dealer worked out some rather good figures on a new PCP. The deal I have been offered is based on a £5k deposit followed by 48 payments of £499 each. I have obtained on the way a...

+1 for MB Tonbridge. In live in Tunbridge Wells and customer care is good, both for sales and service. They are also very open to discussing figures and deals.

Gave it a good wash... before the rain starts :wallbash:

My test drive was on a 350. A fantastic engine and what a change from my current 220 CDI pot. Now, the price difference is not even £3,000... The budget would permit the additional expense but I am also conscious of increased road tax and fuel cost. I must check the figures. A

Thanks for this. I have no idea what the Becker is (I have COMMAND) but will check the point. Thanks a

Went for a test drive on Saturday. lovely car and fantastically smooth ride. The finish in the interior is absolutely great. As to the amount of space in the rear seats, clearly it is not as roomy as in the E-class and rather dark in there due to the very shallow at lines. Perhaps an opening...

Good point Regbuser. is the 250 CDI the same as in the E-Class?

Thanks for your kind replies. To be honest, with 3 children and a wife who uses the boot as a extension of our storage room, I was not planning to for the cherry boot rack! As to boot size, the space in the E is great but we rarely use it fully unless for holiday trips round the country or...

Dear All, I am contemplating the CLS Shooting Brake to replace my E-Class estate (model 212). Both cars look very similar from the inside but look quite different from the outside. Not too sure about the road handling of the CLS but I will be test driving one shortly. I have no complain about...

Thanks Gents for your good suggestions. My car has always ben fully served by the local MB dealership in Tonbridge. I will call them and check the costs. We are based in Tunbridge Wells (Kent) but I am not aware of any MB Indie there. is there one? Cheers

Dear all, My CLK (209) convertible requires my front pads (possibly new discs). Could anyone recommend the way forward to have this done, please? There are so many garages and repair centres which offer those kind of services, I just do not know which way to look. Many thanks for any...

Hi The half-brain guy is paying. he has admitted liability and so has it insurers. CW is MB approved. the MB body-shop is in fact based in Maidstone. I think the mobilo-life cover in intact since all past services have been carried out by the same MB dealer from new. What different does it...

Dear All Someone with half a brain fell on the driver's door of my CLK (209) convertible and damaged the panel so badly that it will need full replacement. I have received two quotes, one from M-B and one from CW Tonbridge, a large firm located in the Kent area. Both quotes are very...
