Wow - you certainly have a knack. I've given up the forum rather than waste time reading your aggressive and unhelpful BS.

I paid cash for the car and simply would want GAP to replace it with an equivalent new one, without quibble, if the worst happened and my ordinary insurance failed to come up with a sensible value. I stopped buying things on finance when I first became middle aged and grumpy, as the more...

I nominate the centre of Rushden, Northants. The locals seem to have confused it with Silverstone, Northants. I tried to find and visit the Transport Museum on Saturday, but after being forced repeatedly round a long circuit by aggressive traffic and with lousy signage and no clear parking or...

I had a go at sending an address to the car via the MercedesMe app yesterday. Like much of the MB Comand and infotainment stuff, it is rubbish. MercedesMe prompted for a search and found the place fine - tourist attraction with its own line in the search results list, and I chose Send To Car...

It took a while to set itself up and nothing seemed to happen so we left it alone, had a cuppa, then switched all off and on and then the apps came up. Mind you, very little there to get excited about, the whole comand experience is one of incredulous disappointment. MB need to let German...

I really am having a full-on Victor Meldrew moment. How can I use a voice command to get the ruddy Comand Navi to set a POI as a destination? All it ever wants is to demand a town/street etc or make a phone call or ask what help function I want. I have a POI saved as Home. Why can't I just...

I was mucking around with COMAND in the car tonight, trying to check out various new toys and in the Internet section is a thing called 'Mercedes-Benz Mobile Site'. I clicked it for research purposes and was invited to select a country. SWMBO and I scoured the list but under Europe, there...

Thanks, yes plate supplier's address and BS thingy are required. At least internet suppliers seem to understand the concept of symmetry, though :doh:

'ere tis...:bannana:

Had to share this. Given that they have their name plastered all over them, would the dealer really expect me to allow this pair of awful plates on my shiny new car? Thankfully I had already supplied my own good quality plates, but for some reason they still went ahead with producing this...

Woohoo - sold within 48 hours :bannana:

Want to save your shiny AMG for Sundays and Best? Need something cheap and reliable to collect half a dozen muddy kids from football practice or ferry that old freezer to the municipal tip without risking your Designo leather? Then what you need is a general purpose Mercedes-saver! This...

Looks like a GLC that's been stretched a bit lengthways but not upwards.

My sales order showed 'B54 Live Traffic Information' so it was part of the build spec for the car. Does yours have this? [I opted for Comand with all the remote services rather than the Garmin/Audio20, so maybe that was the difference]

I was messing around today with the new GLC. My iPhone5S said press the talking face button on the steering wheel (and hold) but after a minute I was bored of waiting - the phone just said it was looking for available cars. I have no clue if it was actually doing anything. I'll try again...
