P.S. Don't go for big 21" wheels, the suspension is firm enough on standard items.

Hi, I have experience of both, my current GLC43 replaced a GLC350d. The latter was adequate whereas the GLC43 is exciting (when you want it to be)! I previously had an SL400 and loved the engine and gearbox which are the same as in the GLC43. I have done only 5K miles in th GLC43 so far but have...

Many Thanks to all of you kind people!

Hi Redcapper. I have always been a big engine fan and previously had a GLC 350d when I downsized from a GLE 350d. It was a very good car and returned close to 40 mpg on motorway trips. It was a high grade Premium Plus version and I enjoyed it very much. However, I then sold my SL 400 when...

Sold

I looked at their forums and concluded that in my case I could be easily found guilty. Thanks for the tip anyway, but I hope that I shall not need to contact them in the future!

I have looked again at my dashcam footage and there was a period of approximately 5 seconds when I exceeded 30mph. At that moment the police van was just about visible half hidden by another parked van, on the horizon on a gentle uphill slope. I have since measured the distance on Google maps...

The previous owner(s) would have been entitled to free map updates during the warranty period but only if they asked for them! This is an MB scandal. Dealerships do not want to do it because it takes a long time to download them from MB and load them into the car. If you ask a dealership to...

I was driving my wife's Kia Venga so no technology available other than the dashcam. It does warn of speed limits but not all are noted, particularly on stretches of road with frequently changing limits.

I don't have a note of the date of the Cardiff infringement but doubt it was 3 years ago, but I guess I'll find out one day soon!

As BTB500 has stated, the lazer cams have a remarkably long range so that it's just possible that they got me during the very few seconds when I was over the limit. My dashcam footage does not have enough resolution for me to clearly see if the van is evident at that point. I may try to find...

It was on the A5026, Holway Rd., Holywell to Carmel (that used to be the old A55. The van is always on the south side of the road but not always parked in exactly the same place. The location does allow a long view of the fairly straight road. Was the Prestatyn van east or west of the bends...

The van is there so frequently that it prompts me to be very cautious every time I use that road. An earlier clip shows 35mph for a moment but the van is not visible at that point and a considerable distance away.

They claim 35mph

I have just received a Notice of Prosecution from North Wales Police. The notice quotes the registration number, time and place of offence. I have a clear memory of passing the mobile camera van on the date quoted and at one of their regular spots. I was confident that I had seen the van very...
