I have a 2017 c class and I'm afraid to say I think the sat nav is not fit for use . On a recent trip to London it was telling me to turn left , then two turns the right for a destination that was a 100yards or so in a straight line in front of me ,

Ive had 6 fords in my time, 2 cortinas mk 3 and 4, and 4 granadas 2 x 2.3 and 2 x 2.0lt the last one being a granada Scorpio , and I still say that was the comfiest (spelling ?)car I've ever had

Now we know what it does , and that explains the whirring noise from the rear, thanks for clearing that up. I must admit it had me thinking I wouldn't be able to do the job until I youtubed it,

1 Key ignition to position 1 2 Turn parking brake off 3 Get trip meter up on dash readout 4 on the steering wheel press both the phone answer button and the ok button for a few seconds, 5 menu will appear with a few options, one of them being a" rear brake pad setting " or words to that...

Well I don't know . I bought the pads and discs from my mb dealer and in the box with the pads came a leaflet with a warning to deactivate the SBC . Goggled the and on youtube the tutorial on "how to" popped up like it does . I followed the and hey presto it does just that

I have it , and I can deactivate it . The question was " what is it actually doing " All I hear is a whirring noise.

I'm going to change both my rear pads and discs on my car and learned about deactivating the sensotronic brake control system . My query is, what does this actually do ? Anyone Got an answer to this please ,

I had this issue on my c class (c200 sport) 2017 when I bought it in 2020. I went to my local mb dealer only to be informed that the sport level isn't equipped with it. Pretty mean for this sort of car I thought

The luggage cover, when attached to the rear seats in the layed down position will act as a luggage restraint when the net is pulled up and fixed to the slots by the door pillars. Stops any luggage shooting forward under hard breaking and causing injury or damage.

While my car was in for repair I had a hire car , after filling out paperwork took keys opened door and fell into front seat that was back as far as it would go and lower than low 😅 got that sorted and off I went. My car came back from repairer today signed ,took keys opened door and again...

Received mine back from the repair shop after someone tore a hole in the back end And looking good 👍

Well, as usual, I forget to use my eyes with glasses when looking for something. The 12v power socket i was looking for was right under my nose in the centre console right side just by the cup holder. In my defence, there are no markings at all, and the little black flap is well discised in...

It's a hire car, a 2021 c22x0d model, it has no pump or sealant, I've got mine on hand just in case, my pump has a12 volt cigarette lighter type plug, The hire car has no 12v cigarette type sockets at all, inside the boot or in the cabin, I suppose my question is " what type of plug or...

While my own car is in the bodyshop for repair, I thought i would up grade the courtesy car (small) to a mercedes c220 d .It's a 2021 saloon . I've spent some time looking for the 12 volt power supply. I've only found a small ,what lookes like a phone sized socket in the rear of the centre arm...
