It was a mobile camera in a van. The instructor who ran my course said at the start he was ex-police. I was lucky and able to take the course in my home town where I lived so did not have to drive a round trip of 120 miles.

To be frank it was in the New Forest I thought it was a 40 MPH speed limit, so 34 was well safe, but wrong my error !

I am not sure what the rules/guidelines are. Last September I was sent a notice of intended prosecution or the option of a speed awareness course for doing 34 MPH in a 30 limit. I took the awareness course (AKA contribution to retired police officers pension scheme). So in Hampshire the 10%...

Happened to me as well. Mine was the new E Class estate. Original delivery date was Mid November 2016, given 4 dates all missed. Eventually delivered to me on 31st January 2017. I know mine was a new model, so hopefully all delivery issues are in the past and yours should only be a short...

Hi Nev, There is only one SD card slot, so if you remove the Garmin Card and replace with another card you will lose your sat nav. If you want your own music you will have to do what I did . I downloaded all my albums onto a USB memory stick and have that permanently inserted into the slot in...

Congratulations, enjoy and I can't wait to see the pictures:bannana:

The dealership should only need 5 working days from when they take delivery of your car to have it ready for you to collect or deliver to you. So it should be any day now.:thumb:

I have seen 4 since December, a black 220 SE as a taxi in London, 2 on the M3 and one in Manchester. A friend of mine has ordered the AMG delivery next week Not that I am counting or anything !

Looks like you will have your car in the next week or so. Congratulations and enjoy !:bannana:

Hi, To be honest I have not looked into the Garmin update. I will do this in the next week and report back. Thanks for the reminder that I can possibly update. Just need now to find a company who manufacture a boot liner for the new Estate. Anyone out there any pointers for any...

This is my feedback on the first 8 weeks of living with my new E class estate. 1. It is true, you can only get into 9th gear if you are in excess of the motorway speed limit. At 75 mph indicated speed, the gearbox smoothly moves into 9th. 2. On long motorway runs I have returned figures...

I think things are a lot better now in terms of on time delivery. Speaking to the dealership the initial first couple of production runs were not as smooth as they should have been. But things are sorted now. So hopefully you will have no problems and yours will be on time.

Good luck, Post some pictures please

Great, Looks like you wil be getting yours very soon. Looking forward to you posting the pictures of the new arrival:bannana:
