Picked up a 2013 plate CLS 250 CDI AMG last week. The brakes are IMO awful, feel very soft to me, i have to really stomp on the brake pedal to see any kind of urgent braking. I didn't expect this given this model is supposed to have the better "sports braking system". Appreciate its a big lump...

Fixed it, thanks for all the tips

We seem to have a CD stuck in the drive in our B class, i think the head unit is the audio 20. press the eject button and nothing happpens, nor will the Cd play or even be detected by the unit... but its definently in there! Any suggestion on how to get it out? thanks e

thanks, can i sell the car privetly and use the proceeds to pay the Agility finance off keeping difference? Given that i'm not the owner of the car as such (Agility is far as i understand it) not sure if i can do this.

All, i have another 17months to run on an Agility finance deal for a B class. I'm thinking about changing this for a Skoda Octavia estate vrs, there are some cracking deals on the go at the moment and the B is a great car but too dull for me! Question is, how would this work? can i pay the...

Its service time and i'm thinking about using an Indi specialist as there is approx £175 difference in cost between them and the main dealer. I asked MB customer services how the Indi can update the Digital Service Record (DSR) and they said, go to the http://service-parts.mercedes-benz.com...

My 11 month old, 7800 miles, B180 petrol is telling me a B service is due in 30 days, but the ESS report from the MB site says an A service is due... bit confused why would the car think it needs a major service after a little under 8K miles. Anyone else seen this kind of thing?

My review of B180 Petrol is here http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/914277-post5.html Best economy i've had is 51MPG on a 40mile moterway run thats for the B180 Petrol.

even the stock model is a pretty good spec IMO - leather, adaptive xenon, sunroof, mp3, cruse control etc. only thing i'd consider adding would be parking sensors.

Link to the deal here Mercedes-Benz UK - C-Class Saloon - Agility Finance offers... seems good value to me, unsuer of the baloon is good or bad, need somone with more skills for decoding PCP finance to answer that one.

Really surprised by how affordable the C63 is, on the MB wesite the deal is £7K deposit, £4K.5 dealer contribution then £629 a month! i though it would be so much more expensive... the local dealer is having a summer BBQ try before you buy event on Saturady, and its my birthday... very tempted...

i used the glasgow franchise and they were very good, painted the whole pannel not just the damaged area - but as other say everyone will be differnet so it will be done to their experience level etc. why not as them for some references of pleased MB customers?

i was bored with my current car the day after i bought it but ho hum needs bust and all that... in an idedal world it would be accompanied by something from those rear engine boys in stuttgart to balance things out.

I had the same problem in the B class, found that i needed to sit upright more and slouch less to get comforatble.. basicly sit correctly and it was very confotrable and supportive. was just a hard habit to break from slouching a lot in my previous car.

after 5000 miles i'm finaly starting to get decent MPG from my B180 BlueEfficancy petrol - 51MPG on a short hop along the M8.
