Bought a 3.0 S XF a year ago rather than changing the 7yr old CLS for a W212. After a year, although I really like the XF, don't feel re-assured by build quality and panel fit, touch screen is very poor. Not had any problem at all, and how they get such a good ride on 20" wheels and 35 profile...

2 year old Jag XF (3.0 ltr twin turbo S since you ask) DAB and FM perfect. Comments anticipated with interest.

I am puzzled that in the adverts enticing us to buy a new car, manufacturers will use a generic picture of a model from the range, which is fine, usually without any reference to a price, and then add, in mostly small print, the range of fuel consumption figures for the whole range. In The Times...

How is he? When and Where?

More talks, more mpg, smoother power delivery! Very noticeable improvement. Perhaps more in insurance.

On the MY2003 pre facelift E320 cdi I had, there were twin exhausts, the same as on the black car above, that I concluded were part of the 'sports exhaust' option available at that time. Maybe the same for the post facelift cars.

Probably it is, but not really worth the trouble with the 4 cyl engine. Much better to change to a car with the 6 in line 320cdi engine, CLK, E class, etc. Then re-map that and it will be terrific, I know because I did it, best £400 ever spent on the car.

I had a CLA for the day, obviously not an A45, but below are some of my thoughts ..... Good… Car looks OK as long as you like the current MB style, seems to have excellent solid build quality, 3 rear seat belts, fuel efficiency, suspension very compliant on our bad roads, sound...

Well if he had talked to me first, there would not have been so many design flaws.

I had one for the day a short while ago, my impressions were ....... Good… Car looks OK as long as you like the current MB style, seems to have excellent solid build quality, 3 rear seat belts, fuel efficiency, suspension very compliant on our bad roads, sound system seemed really...

I found the email through a forum search, as a sticky might help, although I never look at what stickies cover.

The above is indeed an excellent option. The tunnels seem wider now, even in a CLS, than the first time, but I would suggest that a driver should not wear sunglasses or even photochromatic lenses to travel through them. In a RH drive car, the driver has an advantage in driving kerbside, some...

From their email, their details are ....... Contract Administration Mercedes-Benz Financial Services UK Ltd Phone: +44 (0) 870 242 6200 Fax: +44 (0) 870 240 3901 Email: [email protected]

Just done the above and had a positive response within 48hrs. V pleased. However I am puzzled that an initial letter (with the service card enclosed, as stipulated in their terms and conditions), and a second follow-up letter were 'not received', does not reflect on MB Financial Services well.

Bobby Dazzler - a great account and have just completed a similar trip (the 5th I think) but at a more leisurely pace, we prefer to arrive at a hotel about 1600, not 0400. I avoided using the Mont Blanc and Frejus tunnels (40 euro each way I think) by going into Italy from Besancon and across to...
