Has anybody had the need to remove the internal lining to the boot lid of their W211 E Class or change the high level brake light ? 3 of the LEDs in the high level brake light have failed and to replace them [apparently, according to MB] you have to replace the entire unit. I have been quoted...

What's this got to do about Top Gear. Who said I was English. :)

Top gear is a big load of crap. What a waste of an hours worth of prime time TV. All the features are pre recorded months before they go out - so its not spontanious. And as for the talk, its all contrived - its appalling. Bring back Wheelbase.

Update I took the car back to Rac Auto Windscreens and told them there was a problem with the fitting of the screen. I showed the manager that the rubber seals weren't even touching the glass. His first instinct was to give the trim severeal hard thumps with his fist [talk about neandathal...

Update I had the windscreen replaced today, under insurance, it cost me £60 by RAC Windscreens. Not impressed at all. The inside has small glass fragments everywhere, apparently they cut a hole in the glass using a grinder. Worse, is the fact that the rubber seals on the sides don't...

Anybody had issues with replacing the front widscreen of their E class (W211). Insurance will cost me £75, MB £600 - but can autoglass or whoever do as good a job as a MB service department [in the car park v service bay] will it ever be the same again.

Was there a strange craft hovering above you with flashing lights going around in a circle at the time perchance?:D

Mercedes-Benz Summer Drive I've just returned from the Mercedes-Benz ride and drive summer event at Loseley Park, Guildford. It was an oportunity to drive the new E-class and a selection of models from the range, in all they had about 30 cars of which 50% were new E's. I must say that they...

Yep, said it before but it still never ceases to amaze me - current mpg now 38.43 over 17210 miles. :)

Except this time! :p

Each to their own. Fortunately we live in a society where we can have a choice and afford to make a choice. I considered an XK8 and S-type Jaguar before deciding on a Mercedes-Benz. To date I have no complaints either with the car, the service provided by main dealers or their attitude, and this...

Good for you Sir!;)

When I purchased my E320CDI from the Mercedes-Benz dealer, the Managing Director and his team welcomed me to the Mercedes ownership by handing me the keys to the car, a bottle of champagne and the words "you'll be amazed at its economy". Yeah - right, I thought. But to date my total average...
