    2015 E220 & Millers- Diesel Power Eco Max

    I wouldn't bother. My E220Cdi is now at 135k, 3 years old. I run it on standard cheap tesco diesel, serviced on time at main dealers. It runs as good, if not better than the day I got it. I dont see any need for additives, running mine for 40k a year for over 3 years now without issues at...

    New E Class Estate - advice

    I've got an E220CDI Estate as a company car too. Same reasons as you. 2 dogs, 2 kids and a pretty big caravan. Mine is a 13 plate, last of the pre facelift before the new 2014 model came out. Never regretted it at all. Lease company car, so residuals have nothing to do with it for me either...

    Starting to have second thoughts about my C204 220

    Question, on this picture, it shows a symbol of a car with what looks like a lollipop next to it. What is this for? I can't find any reference in the handbook to it, its my Mum's car and she's puzzled!!!! Can you explain what its for please? Thanks

    I have done this a few times. I have got something out of the boot, pressed the button to shut the boot, locked the car and walked away. the boot then hits something (strap of laptop bag) which prevents it from shutting and then it bounces back open. Meanwhile, you've walked away presuming it...

    Potential purchase of a Mercedes

    I have a 2013 E220CDi 7g auto, and tow a 1550kg caravan with it. No issues, is a fabulous tow car and more power is certainly not needed. Cruises at 65mph happliy, very stable. I had the towbar fitted when it was 3 days old by PF Jones, about £650 with 13 pin socket and full electrics. All good.

    E Class purchase

    I've got a 2013 (pre facelift) E220 CDI SE Estate automatic. Ordered brand new and delivered 2nd March 2013, via Mercedes Leasing (company car). Since then it has racked up 90,000 miles. I came out of an Audi A4 S Line, and after that harsh suspension I wanted something softer and auto. Its...

    Towbar buyer beware!

    Don't bother!! Overpriced, and bet it won't be right. Buy the car, then contact PF Jones in Manchester and they will supply and fit whatever you need, its the same bar exactly as the factory fit, for about half the price. They did my new E class, top job.

    Driveway

    pour a can of coca cola over it, scrub with a stiff brush, rinse with water............ seriously, it works. Cheaper than the proper stuff and works just as well.
