Actually - I would like to point out that I wasn't at fault at all. ie - I did not stop on the middle of the roundabout but was just being extra careful. ;)

You have described a similar situation to what happened to me but I wasn't at fault.

Thanks for the feedback you're all making me feel much better already! My insurance company have been very good so far and cos I had the extra cover, they will give us a courtesy car as well. So as long as it gets repaired properly and fairly quickly then I suppose it's not all that bad - at...

! Spot On! That's just what I was thinking.

Hi I picked up a stunning silver C200 Kompressor Elegeance that I bought at the weekend from a prestige car dealer. It's just a couple of years old and fully loaded. My wife and I have been over the moon and fighting over who should drive it. Well, today is the first full day we've had to...

Thanks for your advice.

Hi I have owned my w202 c180 for a year and a half. It is my first Merc and we have been delighted with it. Bought it with 120k on the clock and have done about 15k miles with no problems whatsoever. The best car I have ever owned! However..... ....It is now 11 years old and I feel that I...

Totally absorbing progamme! I can't belive that I was watching The Apprentice instead of the football but then I have watched every episode - It's the only reality TV show that packs a punch. Alan Sugar is very watchable and he will be on Johnathon Woss tonight by the way. One question I have...

Thanks Mozzer! I've seen so many nice watches since starting this subject that I feel that one day I'm going to have to spend £2000 plus to get the watch I would be really happy with - problem is I was happy with what I'd seen for £200 before then, so now this has turned out to be a...

Wow! Thanks for all your replies. I was right about the taste of Mercedes owners. You guys have some truly tasty watches. I think the Omega Seamaster is stunning and the Rolex Daytona is one for the future! All this hasn't made my task any easier - it's like choosing your favourite Merc but A...

I like to think that most Mercedes owners are stylish folks with a bit of taste. What I want to know is what kind of watch do you all wear on your wrist? I'm looking for a new watch and want to spend about £200 to £250 pounds. I'm after a masculine, chunky, metal sporty number. I like the...

Are there any female 5ft drivers of the W202 out there? Can you drive the c-class w202 comfortably? I am asking on behalf of my petite wife who is 5 foot. With the seat fully forward and adjusted as comfortably as possible, she still cannot reach the pedals adequately. She is able to drive...

I have a very similar problem on my w202 180 auto. When changing from 1st to 2nd gear, there is a slight jolt but I can prevent this by coming off the gas just before it's about to change. Once it's in 2nd the next changes are quite smooth but not perfect. I did read in my manual that it says...

take a look - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=9855&item=4525458832&rd=1 S500 - very nice luxurious car - just £75,000 - I'd have thought that maybe the price tag should be well below the current market guide price, bearing in mind the previous owners but I must be...
