    Used approved Mercedes W205 - pickup in 24 hours - I suspected mileage clocking

    You are thinking too much. I was doing 25K-30K a year in my c350e. From April 2016 to July 2018 I have done 56K. July to now I've only added 1K miles as we have no parking facilities at work so work from home. Gutted as now I realised i could have easily take the cash instead but am stuck until...

    I do use individual settings on country roads to sharpen suspension but you can tell its artificial. Ok the focus was tiring in the short time I had it. But the way it made you feel. It just makes you feel special.

    You know I find it leaves most cars for dead as it is (rep cars, audis etc). I do love the sleeper affect the car has. It just after 2 years, I feels it wallows a lot in bends at speed, but i guess that's air suspension and the battery weight in the back. I test drove the new Focus RS a few...

    Tell me about the GLC

    I had the GLC 220d AMG for 2 days as a loan car and have a permanent w205 C350e Saloon. My kids are 6 & 4, there was loads more room in the back as the kids could actually to there own belt seats which they cant do in the saloon. I would defiantly get one with Air Suspension as that was the...

    2014 E400 Convertible Family car?

    Hi, I'm looking at a E400 Convertible as a car for myself and 2 kids 8 & 6 by the time the company c350e goes back. Just 2 questions: 1. Has anyone fitted a towbar on the rear of an E Class convertible for bikes? 2. I'm 6.0ft, not looked at one yet so is the rear leg room anything like the...

    I found its best with ICE, Sport+, oh and it you go on youtube you can put it rolling road mode, which removes all traction control if you are stuck. Though make sure you enable it afterwards from the the menu on the trip computer when your out of your sticky situation overwise it goes sideways...

    Yes the dealer cant fit it in until Tuesday and refuses to keep it as I'm cant get the cossie out of the garage. I was thinking of applying sellotape but worried it would peel paint off or the colour coded cover fell off.

    Beware of the charge flap opening even when you did not open it. At a ballpit in Coventry I open the car, the boot, walking back to the drivers car and snap it ripped clean off as was somehow open. Now there is no chargepoint at the ballpit but they had their camera's switched off (for child...

    Hi, I'm now getting the issue again where the engine stays on and I end up with an extra 2 miles when doing my commute on motorway(80) miles. The engine will not cut out but somehow will give me 2 miles at end of trip. I definitely have not put it in E-SAVE. Now its happening on each motorway...
