Received documents In post for insurance and credit agreement in my name and address for a car unknown to me. Next post is a letter saying they think the insurance is fraud and therfore they have cancelled the policy. I am aware of this type of scam with ghost brokers. However when checking the...

Interesting Our GLC220d is doing about 43mpg average and our C43 coupe has averaged 33mpg over about 4,000 miles.

I got mine online from Berlin (all in English) for a visit to Stuttgart. Sent a pdf copy of V5, paid 6 euros and received in the post in approx. 10days No problems Online-application environmental zone sticker - Berlin.de

Interesting to see new coupe prices for FL. Looks like my C43 premium plus bought last year has gone up about 8K for the FL same spec. Premium plus doesn't include sunroof or memory seats now!

Update:- Booked in with indy for front pads; turns out its back disks with a worn lip that has cut into the pads wire. Seems poor for 34,000 miles - needs rear disks and pads!! Is this worth taking up as a warranty issue?

Many thanks for the info; I will get it booked in.

Just had this warning on an 2016 GLC with 33,000 miles; bit surprised it's come on so soon as the car does a lot of motorway miles. Is this just an early (amber)warning before a final (red) warning to replace?

Many thanks for the up date sounds like you had a good time. I am off next week:- Ferry from Hull to Rotterdam, then staying in Karlsruhe from 3 nights. via Breda, Eindhoven picking up the 61 west of Dusseldorf, With going to Karlsruhe I think we will have to use the 61 but we will get off at...

I am going next month I thought the A61 had less speed limits that A3/A5 what route would you take from Rotterdam? We when to Copenhagen for New |Year and found lots of de restricted quite Autobhan but was in GLC. Taking the C43 this time but don't think I will get much chance to V max on this...

How do you view a route file (GPX) recorded on an SD card from latest C command. I have tried google maps and gpx viewers but they just say the file has no data. Anyone know how to view?

Just bought a C43 Coupe 4 matic. Never even considered anything with nearly 400bhp without all wheel drive. So far I have not been able to break traction at all, it just grips and goes, wet or dry it is completely stable and neutral. A great B road car in all weather and then in Comfort mode a...

I agree the weak link in car purchase is the Dealers. It always seems strange how much effort is put in at sale time but not followed up through the ownership stage. I thought it was easier to keep a customer happy than find a new one! But all the effort seems to be on finding new business today...

I have had something similar in a new C43 Coupe, I had a rattle in the boot area but sounded in the RH side parcel shelf area. Dealer had the car for a day and stripped out the boot then test drove with an engineer in the boot!!! Turns out there was component in the boot floor area not...

I've got a C43 coupe on order for delivery next month, with standard 18" wheels (not run flats hopefully) Wondering what tyres it will have on, are they fitting cross climate as standard now after the crabbing issue. Or has anybody had replacement cross climate fitted to stop crabbing? We...

HI I am looking to order a C43 coupe in Polar white, premium pack and wood ash trim with clock. Been told factory order would be Nov/Dec. If so do you think there might be changes for 2018 model year? Does this time scale seem right? Many thanks
