I wasn't losing the plot. Merc dealer immediately agreed it didn't feel right , didnt suggest it was worn discs pads etc. In fairness to them they did a cracking job this morning and thoroughly rebled the system which slightly improved things further. A quick diagnosis and input from a member...

momomo, see my post on reduced brake performance

Agree on all points. Sitting enjoying their coffee as I type

Got up this morning and gone to use the car and it's improved. Still not back to what it was but almost as though it's self bleeding !!! Confused.

Cheers. Never had to do that before lol. I do agree with re bleed required. Last time I experienced this was on a seat Toledo when I got air in the abs unit.

As part of the deal on my car , a 2012 c220 estate ,the B3 service is a freebie. It involves amongst other things changing the brake fluid. Upon return nothing amiss until I drove it. In a word the brakes don't work as well as they did when it went in !!! No other brake parts were changed...

Le Blanc and Schmitz very entertaining. The juries out on Evans but overall an entertaining hour. Give it a chance.

and unfortunately follow up enforcement due to the lack of registration , insurance , training and accountability requirements, becomes pie in the sky. They want to use the road like car drivers , the minority of whom get the majority a bad name (works both ways :thumb: ) , let them be...

I got mine s/h. When I plugged it into the computer and the app it decided I needed a firmware update. This meant wiping everything. Following the firmware update it offered me the European maps database at no cost to replace those that disappeared, which of course I grabbed. I'm not sure if...

Becker operating info is here http://www.mybecker.com/enUK/mainnavigation/becker-map-pilot/downloads/ I have the Becker unit and its excellent. Before you get too used to it how it is, follow the instructions on the site and do the update routines. Mine took ages to download and install...

I would agree with Phils comments re alloys. I have seen , admittedly laquer flaking/corroded, previously damaged alloys break at the scene of a collision. My gut feeling regarding the tyres is to change them. They may not appear damaged but if they've allowed the rims to deform with them in...

will save a fair bit of dosh.......... but..............I will be polite.ahemm......... Ibis have never impressed :) , for budget the premier is next door to Sofitel and has a multi storey :D

which terminal ? north or south ? South. Go on the Hilton site. We always use a room + parking deal. Done that several times and use the valet park. Never ever had a problem with extra mileage. last time it hit just under two and they told us where it had been parked! North terminal very...

I have no experience of taptite and cant comment. However for very similar proportions or differences I have , as an airframe fitter, successfully (and legitimately) used helicoils on aircraft and would recommend them. They have the benefit of being a cinch to use with care :)

good to see the Darlo crowd in :)
