Ahh well. Last post for me as I said goodbye to my C220 Sport 125 Edition earlier today. Despite loving many aspects of the car such as its ability to eat motorway miles for fun and (almost) perfect spec for me the cons outweighed keeping he car on and ultimately getting another Mercedes...

I've been meaning to add this post for a while now. I'm a big fan of the Command system. I think it is brilliant as I've mentioned in this thread. The integration with the phone works very well. Having moved from Apple to Android a while back one thing that I would have liked, but was never...

Def send your pics and your personal report to your insurers. Avoid accusing anyone of lying, but state the facts simply so they can see that the nature of the accident (leaving no photographic damage to the car) is unlikely to have caused the soft tissue trauma the other parties are claiming...

Whoever you use it would be in your interest to request they check your car before they take it and acknowledge they have done so. If you don't and there is any damage to your car you may well be told this .... I did get the damage paid for as I stuck to my guns and fortunately dealt with a...

Thanks for the comments. :thumb: I honestly wouldn't class the 220 as 'underpowered'. It wants pushing to really get a shift on, but this is positive for me as it makes me feel more involved in driving the car. In all general driving conditions it has plenty of power to get you out of (or...

Bit of an update/summary as we approach two years of ownership and just over 20k miles covered. The car has just had its second service (B) and its been fine. No issues at all. Pros. Its a comfy mile muncher. When you first sit in the seat it feels awkward (always has) but after a few...

Tyres now sold. Thanks for the interest. :thumb:

Thanks for the help. OE prices are: Indicator lens strip@ £24.44 inc VAT. Replacement (Mercury for anti glare) glass@ £374.40 inc VAT :eek: Cheaper (not anti glare) glass@ £62.40 inc VAT. Will see if I can find anything for full unit on ebay / breakers as he needs a couple of bits...

Thanks Ted. Will try Mercedes first to see how much they are for OE. My dad has owned the S203 from new and kept it original so I know he would prefer that. If anyone can advise a good place for a replacement (second hand) unit (full mirror) I'd appreciate that as I know he would prefer that...

My dads S203 / C220 Estate offside (drivers) mirror has been given a belt which has broken the lens for the indicator in the mirror. Is this repairable (is there a replacement lens) or is it a new unit? The mirror glass is intact, but the fluid has started to move so a new one would kill two...

Any offers? Would rather sell on here than list on ebay if there is any interest. Thanks.

My mum recently had the bonnet of her VW Golf resprayed. Chimney top got blown off next doors roof and part of it glanced her car on the way down. Similar deep scratch damage to yours, but a dent too and it is metallic. Got a trusted local company to do it (have done work for us in the past to...

Have a C Class with Command so haven't looked at this for the Merc, but did for the wifes Mazda. Wanted same functionality as you and after looking at various options bought this rather than a new headunit and had it fitted by an autoelectrician (charged £50). Confirmed the correct lead for the...

This ^^ is absolutely correct. To try and place the blame on you the day you drive the car away - simply opening the roof is ridiculous. Not a good dealer in any sense of the word.
