Just a couple of minor faults...

Unfortunately Mrs Ted ‘persuaded’ me that we didn’t need it and couldn’t afford it. Unlike the crap, sorry necessary accoutrements that she needed.

The lovely MX5 is back up for sale Mrs Ted loves the car but cannot get on with the clutch/accelerator balance on takeoff - especially on hills. It is a little sharp, but I was fully used to it within a day. She now doesn’t like driving it so it has to go. It is the 2 litre sport tech with...

Saw this today - a true maverick and a legend. I first heard about ‘The Beast’ in the early seventies and didn’t believe it thinking it was just one of those urban legends. He must have been one hell of a guy to have a few drinks with...

This looks like Jay’s place. I hope all are well and there isn’t too much damage https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/in-your-area/pictures-firefighters-battle-garage-workshop-25726040 https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/in-your-area/explosions-heard-mercedes-garage-fire-25728102

Went down to see SIL today, and she has just swapped her GLC for an ‘AMG’ spec S206 It’s a lovely lovely thing. Looks fantastic and the interior is a special place to be. I’ve not been a great fan of the c-class since the w202 - the w203 was forgettable, the w204 was ugly and the w205 was bland...

So, following on from this thread https://forums.mbclub.co.uk/threads/how-mercedes-is-losing-its-prestige-image.278248/ What do you think that Mercedes should do to restore their reputation as THE premium manufacturer - better than the other German marques or Japanese or British premium brands...

Classic British Cars: Made in Coventry As someone born and brought up in Coventry, and a big fan of all things motoring in Coventry, this is something I’ll be really looking forward to tonight.

For violating standards of good taste, or so I thought. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.motor1.com/news/450219/mercedes-illuminated-star-badge-recall/amp/

Does anyone know if it is possible to select the POIs displayed on the map on Audio 20 5*1 on my slc? I can only see a way of enabling/disabling as per https://photos.app.goo.gl/dELZiJcVW6YLBYcH7 under Settings/map display. Also is it possible to add personal pois? I’ve tried adding speed cams...

and I know it isn’t everyone’s favourite, but I found it really good on a 1200 mile round trip recently. It is now supported on carplay which should be a useful improvement. https://photos.app.goo.gl/7YeDMv3XDoMRtmpT9

I was looking forward to using Carplay in my SLC so I hope this review helps anyone considering it. It’s easy to activate and from there on it can be started as soon as you plug in the phone to the usb port - or you can set it to be manually started. The screen then shows any carplay enabled...

works with phone prep and uhi adaptor. This is the cradle and refurbished phone. You will need to purchase a sim - I used a payg one. This uses the inbuilt aerial in the car so always has a good signal, and will display texts in a Comand head unit. There is also a charger should you want to...

Viseeo MB2 This allows bluetooth connectivity to a Mercedes with phone prep/UHI connector. Phonebook etc are visible in the dash display. It does not give music streaming nor show texts. Good condition but the plastic on the case has gone ‘tacky’ in a couple of places. I’ve tried to wipe it off...

Now the Clk is gone, I have a genuine Mercedes wind deflector with stowage bag. This folds up and fits nicely in the boot. This works really well - much better than the airguide system on my slc in fact. Couple of slight marks as shown - these look to be asking £250 on ebay, so I think £150...

While registering for Mercedes Me, I picked up that they are offering Tidal HiFi free for a year - normally £19.99. I've found it's a good service and great quality. If you have Sky you can also stream to your boxes, bypassing the need for a Sonos type system (at lower quality of course) Haven't...

I've tried to activate Mercedes Me, but unsurprisingly it is saying that it is already linked to another account. The suggestion is that I take it to an Authorised Mercedes service centre to be deauthorised - presumably with the V5 and some form of identity. Is this the only way it can be done...

and what a car it was. 5 1/2 years and the only real problem was a couple of snapped rear springs. A sticky roof needed a good clean and lube and that was it. The M271 was smooth, faultless and whilst never a firecracker had a surprising turn of speed. Everything I expect from a Mercedes, It was...

So, I fitted a new cupholder in the CLK today. Might do a ‘howto’ later...
