Hi Yes with hindsight that would have been better but things are a lot tougher at the moment and I fear a pay cut coming! The 350cdi has been a joy to own and I would not hesitate to recomend Mercedes cars to anyone. Hopefully I can get behind the wheel of one in the future! (btw now in the...

You have been very lucky I gave up on the car in the end because of this.

Yes don't buy a 3 series coupe the frameless windows rattle!

Hi I have bought a mini cooper d clubman fom Soper Mini Lincoln. It was registered in Nov 2011 but has only done 20 miles as they were going to use it as a demonstrator but did'nt in the end. I have realistic hopes of seeing 50+ to the gallon and it's half the £1200 to insure! I know the clubman...

Hi All I am sad to report my 10 plate c class 350cdi is going. I have only had it 5 months and it's a great car but the running costs in this tough climate are just too much. I do a 50 mile comute each day with Mostly dual carriageway but some town driving and the best I have seen is 32mpg. If...

Hi Coming from a 3 series 320d m sport 2009 car to a 2010 c350cdi I can tell you that the ride in mercedes is so much better even on 18" wheels. Ok maybe you cannot chuck it round corners like the bmw but with the state of our roads now I found the ride just un-acceptable far far to firm! I see...

Hi I found the opposite when I purchased mine, they were cheaper! The customer service was better as well. I enquired about 2 other cars at franchised Mercedes dealers and never even got a call back! Michael.

Hi To all of you having window rattles I am an expert on this after the same issues with my BMW 320d m sport coupe. In owning the car from new it went back to the dealer 8 times with this problem. I had new seals fitted 6 times but after a couple of weeks the problem would return. The only...

It is a valid question as far as I am concerned I see shocking driving every week from foreign drivers! Michael.

Hi All I purchased my 2010 C Class 350cdi around a month ago through Mercedes retail Birmingham. I am really pleased with the car. As part of an offer running on Mercedes used cars the next 3 services were included. I have had no confirmation on this so I mentioned it when I received a follow...

Hi Mark I got a quote from chips away Lincoln when I had the BMW I thought the guy knew what he was on about but It was expensive I had a quote for some stone chips and lightly curbed alloys but was looking at a bill of around £500 which I thought was too much. Cheers Michael.

Hi Mark Were you the Mark that sold me your car mats? Michael.

Hi I had the same problem with my previous BMW I took it in but they said nothing was wrong and said the car was "camber sensitive". I just got used to it especially with so many other issues going on!

Hi Thanks I think the manual is a bit complicated I am a bit confused!

Hi Looking at winter tyres for my C Class 350CDI, at the minute I am on staggered wheels, front 225/40 18, rear 255/35 18. I am struggling to find any winter tyres in this size although I have sourced a set of replica mercedes alloys in this size for a reasonble price. Can I fit 17" alloys? Do...
