I only have myself to blame for not getting the car checked before buying. I didn’t know Mercedes dealerships were overpriced and useless as well. I’ve only been lucky with one used car throughout my life (Ford Mondeo). The rest of them have been disastrous, mainly automatics. It’s a shame...

FRONT offside SPRING LINK BALL JOINT

Just done the A service and was told about a front spring link being loose. He told me that the whole part needs to be changed and it’s going to cost £350. He also mentioned if it’s gets worse the wheel will fall off. Has anyone experienced this? obviously I’m fully aware of the rear discs...

That’s incredible!!!! I’m driving slow and only get 350 miles before the reserve light comes on. How do you drive your car? I drive on comfort. Sometimes Eco. I’ve never used sports before QUOTE="Mikep2, post: 2870184, member: 147288"]Sraj, I have filled mine up three times since buying the...

Guys, how many miles do you get in a full tank?

I had a top of the range Ford Mondeo and that was very reliable with great economy. Loved driving manual cars. Unfortunately the car was written off, thanks to two HGV vehicles giving me a pounding and easily could have killed me. I was tempted to get a Ford Galaxy prior to the Mercedes, but I...

A Romanian cleaner who loves his cars taught me a valuable lesson which I’m going to share with you: When you buy a monkey, make sure you can catch the Banana. Wish I knew about this before buying the BMW and Mercedes.

I was considering selling privately and buy a VW Passat estate but decided to keep it. This is my first and last Mercedes I’ll own because these cars are only for the Rich.

I have no choice but to keep it because I’ve paid for the thermostat and A service. £8000 loss in 7 months is very hard to accept

Hi guys, I’ve managed to get my thermostat replaced for £310 from my local garage. This Friday I’m taking my car for a service A service. Cost is £250 via independent Mercedes specialist. I had my car valued at Mercedes and they offered £13500, which I found seriously undervalued. what is...

I agree, I’ve been looking at vw passat estate 16 reg, but they don’t want to take my car as part ex because they have to pay me money. They told me to sell the car privately QUOTE="Chris-S, post: 2850051, member: 126969"]Being so tight for cash is going to suck all the joy out of owning this...

Thanks for that looks like I’m going to struggle a lot because of the service, thermostat and I have no idea how much my insurance is going to be come April.

Very disappointing

Service is due in March. Last service was done at 57000. At the moment the mileage is 65128. Do I need to service in March or wait until 72000? I bought the car in August and it did 61777

I haven’t changed the thermostat because I haven’t got the money. The cheapest quote I had was £400. Most garages I spoke to told me they are not interested in working on my car because it’s a hybrid.
