    W213 Distronic/Speedtronic

    The speed limit camera feature can be set to make the cruise control observe the speed limit ie. it will reduce the cars speed when cruise is set to higher speed or vice versa. I personally don’t use this - I just have the overspeed warning chime set at +5% over the speed limit.

    Apple Carplay not planned for C w205

    I have Car Play on my 213 e-class. Total gimmick IMHO. Issue is that it takes over all the native functions inc sat nav which is optimised for driving.

    No HUDs or widescreen cockpit 'for the forseeable future' - S213

    Sorry to hear about the delay - I believe they has same issue about a year ago which I read somewhere on this forum. IMO you should not see the lack of LCD screen in the instrument panel as a deal breaker - it’s too good a car to walk away from. I love the 220d having upgraded from the s212...

    Constency Tyre

    Thanks all - just to clarify my was delivered in August and the tyres are yet to do 1000 miles and was not happy about having to replace a new tyre and being in a situation where I had no choice over what replacement tyre to get. A day or so has gone by and I am no longer so concerned about...

    Constency Tyre

    Perhaps it was 140kpa? Its whatever unit they use on the tyre pressure gauge on the dash. I will check the manual - but i do remember from when returning a c-class MB finance a few years back they were happy to accept different brand of tyres on the same axle. As an aside I wondering...

    Constency Tyre

    Thanks for the replies... It was indeed to get me moving again as its the only one he had of that size - I didnt have the heart to use the foam/inflater from the car or call MB assistance. This tyre place tends to deal in 'unusual' tyre brands including Vredestein and has serviced the local...

    Constency Tyre

    I punctured a rear tyre on my new S213 estate yesterday by going over a large screw. Luckily I was only a few miles to my local tyre shop and able to make it there with about 140 PSI remaining in the tyre. They advised that the puncture was not fixable the only tyre they had in my size...

    S213 Keyless locking issues

    Thanks - could be the case but surprising as car is less than 3 months old and all other keyless and key functiins work. I will try to replace the battery (assuming this is straightforward??) and will update.

    S213 Keyless locking issues

    My 2027 e-class is fitted with keyless locking feature where I simply place my thump, when in possesion of the key, on the little sensor on the door handle and it locks the car. This has worked fine up until the weekend where it is now playing up and I need to have many attemptes at fouching...

    S213 Front Passenger Airbag De-activation

    I have a 2017 e-class and I would like to carry a 6yo child in the front passenger seat, in a child seat, and the manual indicates that the airbag system will automatically detect this scenario and turn off the airbag without any manual intevention. Have I understood this correctly? I...

    Diesel Car values drop

    Depends very much on the value of the initail deposit (inc. promotional finance company contributiuon) that put down when PCPing the car. The higher it is the more likely one can reach the 50% threshold as the overall loan value is less.

    Diesel Car values drop

    A little known option is to opt for a Voluntary Termination (VT) of the PCP agreement. Providing you have paid more than 50% of the total loan value you can simply hand the car back at any time during the term and not pay anything regardless of the PCP final value, or time remaining on the...
