I have just had the benefit of driving a brand new C250d for the weekend from my local dealer as I won a competition !!!.. the things I really don't like are..its a noisy diesel !!! ...the read out of fuel consumption is only marginally better than mine !!!! compared to my quiet CGI...
....did u check yer policy for what u get or don't as the case may be ??!!.. for anything other than a classic 10 year plus old merc most people would pay 350-450.. best I got was 362 from the AA on a silver member basis.. foxy52
...mine are circa late 2010.. pretty good quality unmarked but a small bit of corrosion.. must say I fancy the AMG centres for my AMG wheels...prev pic posted of them look very nice :thumb:...foxy52
Had my yearly service done as per my service contract with main dealer .. twas the B one.. I only did 4000 miles in it over 12 months....... repl fluids Brake etc etc plus full MOT.... 50 odd quid on the day
:bannana:...peace of mind.. I like the full body/mech vehicle check by video link...
.......should really just have said approx every 12 months if only low mileage .....if yr car does obscene amount of miles that may not be the case .. my dashboard display popped up and said along the lines of 10 days over service schedule.. mark u I had already booked it in but my local MB...
interesting thread this ... in answer to the orig question.. regardless of miles.. your car should be serviced every year ...especially if u have a service contract it must be done otherwise it negates the continuation warranty for MB,s free mechanical breakdown cover ...unless someone can...
...We are all responsible for our own safety .. I like that maxim...I was just thinking about the cyclist riding 3 abreast on our 50 mph country roads here in Norfolk the other day .. I tooted the **** to pull over and all I got was the v sign. mindless morons.. foxy52
agree.. this ones a regular on the forum... 35 thou miles is long enough to drive on 1 oil..sealed box or otherwise.. get it changed ...its prudent to re lubricate ...I have read of horror stories re ATF.. TURNING TO TAR/BLACK GUNGE !!!.. foxy52
...interesting read.. I don't think anyone doubts collusion between the German car manuf ,.that's biz.......twas the first thing that sprung to my mind with the VW emmisions fiasco...so being fined billions ?? what will that money pay for ?? roads upkeep in Germany...!!??..what an irony from the...
...my thoughts to .. I would never buy a Merc unless it comes from main dealer with its full service history...best buys are always gonna be low mileage one owner mint condition cars...anything up to 5 years old ...u pay a bit more but peace of mind is so important !!!.and the cost saving over...
...Mines fine then.. tks for adv...2011 year reg but built 2010.. just pre face lift model.. its an interesting topic this ATF change.. some come out with this sealed box answer so no need.. but I would never be convinced as oil/petrol degrade... esp hard working gear box oil or the lack of...
..ATf was changed prior to 30k on my car..its only done 46k in 6 and a half years...is that about right in yr estimation ??..should it be changed purely by the number of miles car has been driven ??....I was recently told by MB dealership it should not need new ATF till it reaches about 70k...
... Not the dogs fault... the owners are to stupid to give guidance as to where to poo/wee..i see dog muck all over the pavements in parts of North Norfolk that are know by locals as rat runs for pets .. I have looked in amazement as owners completely disregard any basis of cleanliness of their...
