So, looks like I will be swapping the train commute for more driving in my job. Being paid 35p per mile so want to try and minimise the fuel cost element to pay for the depreciation, servicing etc. Looking to spend £18K-£22K on either a CLS250CDI or E300h, thoughts so far: * Reading the forum...

Hi all I have a highly spec'd W169 which has the APS 50 command unit and media interface. However no matter what device I attach eg iPod or android, the unit won't recognise the device or the music. My MB dealer days it's to do with the sound format but I've had no problem in later model...

There is a feature in Feb edition of MB enthusiast magazine on what to look for. I have owned a 500 cab Sport since June (check previous posts for pics). Slightly cheaper to run than the AMG and quick enough for me. Check plugs have been changed would be my only advice other than that really...

Thanks guys, will get an elephant quote but looks like direct line will be cheapest. Mrs is tied in with LV so multi car not an option. Cheers, Neil

Just wondered if anyone can recommend a cheaper alternative to Direct Line who are cheapest so far at £460 which I still feel is expensive as I have max no claims and live in a low risk area. Tried the comparison sites but they are all around £550. Thanks in advance

Hi, yes it is running Android 2.2 Have looked for a send phonebook option on phone, where would it be? Not in Blueooth settings?

Mission accomplished, I now have the car post "snagging". Work completed: Wheels "Sand Blasted" back to original colour New Brake Discs & Pads Paintless dent removal from door Lumber seat buttons replaced (one has gone missing already :eek:) B Service completed including new Spark Plugs etc...

Wondered if anyone could help me with an issue with my new MB2 Viseeo unit. I'm using an HTC handset which paired fine. However every now and then (usually at start of journey) music will cut for around 2 secs and the Viseeo signal shows no bars then it comes back. Happens and 4/5 times in half...

I collected the CLK 500 Cab Sport yesterday. Unfortunately the 40MPH traffic around the M25 restricted by ability to experience all the car has to offer! Dropped it off a Mercedes-Benz Epsom who are going to go through the car and empty my wallet. I've paid below list price so I'm hoping there...

Like the C Class Coupe, not sure about the SLK, looks a bit "long" and less compact.

Just to update you, I've put a deposit down on a 2006 CLK500 cab Sport today. Silver, black leather, AMG styling pack, black hood, Command, TV, Xenons, Heated Seats, Parktronic, 43K miles. Pleased to see the price of oil drop $10 today :) Pics to follow, collect in 2 weeks, thanks for those of...

Yeh bloody got rid of the plate with the car, mug! Keep it simple I reckon but plates definitely look better in a holder.

Little bit, got this one off ebay for my old SLK. Didn't look too shabby, may be not for not for the purist!

Thanks for all your posts. This has confirmed what I was thinking, V8 me up! Will post some pics once I've found the car.
