    C200 not picking up signal from the key ... Intermittently

    Thanks , I had fitted a new battery about two weeks before the fault appeared but I have now fitted a second new battery and everything is working ok. The first batter must have been faulty.

    Whats your strategy for year 2030 / ban of ICE vehicles?

    The software in the car can be checked to see how much charge has been input or even just apply tax to the number of miles covered. There is no way the government are going to lose out on all the fuel duty they are currently getting when and if EVs become the high volume road users.

    GLC Rear door closing itself and wont stay open

    I booked my car into the main dealer and they said that the two gas struts had to be replaced, fortunately I still had a used car warranty. The new struts have cured the problem. Good luck with yours.

    Don't worry there will soon be EV charging tarrifs from the power companies, they will be priced to replace the revenue from fuel duty. Metered separately from domestic rate. Suppliers are already asking if you have or intend to have an EV. They are cheap to run for now but for how much longer.

    Spare wheel advice

    Can anyone please tell me is the 17 inch skinny spare that I bought for my c200 will fit onto a GLA with 18 inch wheels as an emergency spare. Ideally it will fit and save me getting another one.

    GLC - Which model and which fuel

    By way of an update I ended up buying a GLC220d, the available diesel cars were better spec and the 50+ mpg swayed me. I hope I have made the right choice.

    GLC - Which model and which fuel

    Thanks for the feedback, I dont think I will be doing too high milage as I intend to retire soon, maybe 4-5k per year. I wont do a lot of city driving so petrol would be ok if I can get high 30s mpg. I have a bit of fear with what is going to happen with diesel as the greens seem to be dictating...

    free to good home

    I had a nearside mirror cover clipped in the supermarket on my dark blue 2010 C200 Estate, the mirror cover looked broken so I bought one from Mercedes. I then discovered that the existing one has merely unclipped so I now have a spare for a car I no longer have. If anyone wants it they can have...
