    Very poor practice by dealership - possibly my last Mercedes

    But it's just not helpful is it ? I'm smart enough to know that if a light comes on immediately after a service (second time Mercedes have done this) then there's nothing wrong with the car - the sensor must be at fault. This is the second time this has happened. Last dealer (not Merc) say they...

    Very poor practice by dealership - possibly my last Mercedes

    Wonderful warranty. So I pick up car and the "door sounds like a van" creak is a failed door hinge. "Sorry Sir, not covered by warranty. £307 it will cost". Just checked the cost. They are £15 each. Robbing so and so's. These stealers won't get another penny out of me.

    You feel superior now ? Well done. Very helpful. If you haven't anything constructive to say keep mouth shut.

    Very poor practice by dealership - possibly my last Mercedes

    Very poor practice by dealership - possibly my last Mercedes

    I don't care who its underwritten by - it was bought from Mercedes and paid to Mercedes and they should know I have this service / warranty plan. It was an official Mercedes letter that informed me my warranty was due to expire and would I like to purchase an extended warranty product...

    Very poor practice by dealership - possibly my last Mercedes

    I do like the car but I just don't trust the dealership. I know the warranty isn't the same as the original one but it was arranged through main dealer, it is on Mercedes Benz letterheaded paper, the debits say "Mercedes Benz". You think its ok to be fobbed off with "oh the warranty is a...

    Very poor practice by dealership - possibly my last Mercedes

    Hi folks, I have owned my 2017 W213 E220d for nearly three years now and I am very happy with it. Its a very smooth car with lots of kit. I am much less happy with my local dealership who I will not name at this time. When the one year approved used warranty ran out I bought the service plan...

    Tool to import speedcams in COMAND

    I don't think it can be done. When you look at the file it shows IconID=x and I think that refers to the set of standard icons in the COMAND system. It is frustrating that you cannot change the icon as it renders the data useless. You just see standard icon on screen with no name. Ok you can...

    Well he can't have ben knighted for services to comedy. He's about as funny as an unflushed toilet.

    Engine died when stop start was active

    Hi, I've just driven from Blackpool to Harrogate where I work and was in standing traffic and stop start kicked in. When I took foot off the brake the engine died ! I put car in park and turned key and engine fired up again but it was a bit embarrassing as I was stopping cars turning into...

    Back with the star again - E350 CDI Coupe.

    Hi all, I've not been here for a few years as I owned my one and only Mercedes, a C270 CDI which I owned from 2005-2008. Since then I bought (huge mistake) a Lexus IS250 and then a Jaguar XF 3.0D which I loved. I had that from nearly new and owned it for 5 years. Anyway I've just bought an E...

    How can I improve sound insulation on a polycarb conservatory roof ?

    Not sure I have those. I may go down the triple layer polycarb and have the existing ones replaced.

    How can I improve sound insulation on a polycarb conservatory roof ?

    Hi all, Any ideas how I can reasonably easily further soundproof my conservatory polycarb roof ? I enjoy listening to the rain on it but I am concerned about the noise we emit from the conservatory with music. We don't play the music very loud but the neighbours mentioned they can hear it...
