    Setting speed limiter C180

    A thousand thanks for this. It really is madness to have to travel at such speeds for example, in the open countryside 500 mts before a village which used to be a 30 mph. Locals I have spoken with all say they have tried travelling at 20 mph on open roads and those without a limiter are sure...

    Setting speed limiter C180

    I have a C180 Blue Efficiency 2012. I know how to use the cruise control but, given the crazed 20 mph limits now replacing 30 mph in Wales, I am trying to set the speed limiter to 20mph. It has the controls on a stalk below the multifunction stick on the left of the steering wheel, not on the...

    MDMotorcare Ellesmere Port query

    Hi, I have used MD Motorcare at Ellesmere Port Cheshire four times for servicing my C Class and see that they seem to have expanded with more staff than last time I used them. Has anyone used them recently and can you confirm that the ex Mercedes technician Dave ( I don't know his surname)...

    C180 recalls

    The dealer now informs me that the second outstanding recall on my 2012 C180 is for attention to the water pump. Anyone else had such a recall as well as the airbag issue.

    C180 recalls

    Hi, I have a recall notice on my 2012 C180 for a fix to an airbag issue. The main dealer has told me there are actually two outstanding recalls for my car but I am only aware of the one I have just received. Anyone know how I can find out what the other one is for as the MB recall site I see is...

    Unwanted boot opening C180

    I had thought that I may have accidentally touched the fob but I don't keep the keys in my pocket. I carry them in a security bum bag which is also where they are kept when I am at home. Naturally when I am home the bum bag doesn't move so there is no chance that the button could be accidentally...

    Unwanted boot opening C180

    For the fourth time in two years I have found the boot of my car had opened without my asking it to. I have looked on line and this seems to be a problem others have too. It is not that I am accidentally pushing the key button and it usually takes at least a one second press to operate the boot...

    Service C180

    Thanks folks, good advice as ever. The car had only done around 9000 miles when I bought it in September 2015. It had a full history but is now telling me the B3 service is due and I was quoted ( if I recall correctly) over £700 by the local MB main dealer. I suspect with such low miles...

    Service C180

    Hi, My 2012 C180 petrol is due for service and I am wondering where to go for the best. I am wary pf putting it in the hands of a main dealer due to bad experiences with them in the past ( Honda, Volvo etc) They have all tried to do work which to my mind did not need doing. I have used a...
