Hi folks, I have owned my 2017 W213 E220d for nearly three years now and I am very happy with it. Its a very smooth car with lots of kit. I am much less happy with my local dealership who I will not name at this time. When the one year approved used warranty ran out I bought the service plan...

Hi, I've just driven from Blackpool to Harrogate where I work and was in standing traffic and stop start kicked in. When I took foot off the brake the engine died ! I put car in park and turned key and engine fired up again but it was a bit embarrassing as I was stopping cars turning into...

Hi all, I've not been here for a few years as I owned my one and only Mercedes, a C270 CDI which I owned from 2005-2008. Since then I bought (huge mistake) a Lexus IS250 and then a Jaguar XF 3.0D which I loved. I had that from nearly new and owned it for 5 years. Anyway I've just bought an E...

Hi all, I need a remote control to control my PC - just normal operations like web browsing, navigation, keyboard inputs etc. There are quite a few Media Center remote controls for sale. Do these devices also just do the normal PC actions or are they specifically designed to control...

Hi folks, I have two dates in this format... 04/01/2010 08:20 and 11/05/2010 11:15 Need to work out the difference between them in minutes. Then when I have got the minutes value work it back so it show its in months, days, minutes. Crikey !!! Any ideas bright sparks ? Gary

Hi all, I was wondering if an Excel expert on here can help me with something I need to do for a report. One worksheet has multiple columns of data. I want to be able to filter the data and transfer it to a fresh worksheet so I can put some fancy formatting so it can be used for a...

Hi folks, had a search on forum to no avail. Best product for high quality finish on black plastic dash. My interior looks faded and dull somewhat. Thanks in advance.

Merry xmas everyone. I have a Belkin wireless router and I want to secure it. The instructions say click on the PBC button on the router then start PBC on the client device (I've got an iTouch) within 2 minutes. Does that mean just push the "on" button on the iTouch ? Knowing my luck...

The dealers had replaced the seals. I've had a closer look at them in the rare sunshine. The reason I thought they hadn't replaced them is the seals on the body side are still the same (my silicon grease is in there). It doesn't mention the body frame seals. Anyway the car is finally fixed. The...

Thinking of getting trading standards involved or even a solicitor -please advise <edited out due to me being an idiot>

To me it's a no brainer. The E200K is on the board at £23,500 and the E320 CDI is on at £25,999. I reckon the residual on the E320 CDI will be higher so my mate may end up paying roughly the same as the E200K. Both are 09 reg. The E320 CDI has 2000 miles more on it. So guys and gals...

Hi folks, I would really appreciate some quick replies and thoughts on the below as my mate is getting back to Mercedes within the hour....ta everyone... He has seen a black 2009 E200K Elegance Auto for £23,500 on Merc Direct. It's got COMAND, Parktronic, Black leather, Phone prep etc and...

For 18 months there has been dreadful plastic creaking and rattling that appeared to come from the centre console and Lexus have not been able to fix it with several attempts. My mate found it ! He said "it's coming from the glove box door". It's wierd how it seems to be coming from the central...

Sorry to post on here. I always get a quick response and the sat nav forums are hopeless.... I've downloaded all the Wetherpoons pubs to my Garmin 1240 and associated an icon with it. All looks correct on the map but if I do a search of POIs by name around my area it does not display them on...

there's one pixel at the bottom of the screen which is white on the black screen. Would you take it back for this ? I've only had the unit 5 mins and it's annoying me already.

The forums say there is a folder where you put them but they always refer to an SD card. It has an SD slot but the slot is empty. In explorer it shows up the flash memory and I assume I cannot place the CSV file anywhere there. So do I need to buy an SD card and copy them on there ? I assume I...

He lent me his TomTom XL One so I could have a look at the facilities. I left it to charge up in the car and took it out to use at home last night but the screen is stuck at the welcome screen. I can't even turn the unit off !!! I thought it may be becuase it needed to be charged longer as it...

Hi folks, to save me loads of effort trawling around websites, forums etc I know I'll be able to get a quick answer on here. My missus has picked up her new Vauxhall Corsa (what a fab car it is - I'm gobsmacked at the quality and refinement for a small car - it's brilliant). I am going to treat...

Tried this last week and despite typical Manchester weather for a week my car is still shiny and clean. If you are lazy like me I can recommend this. I know these other products that you put on yourself will produce better results but I think the Shell drive-through is pretty good.

She wants a Vauxhall Corsa and is pondering whether to go for a 09 reg with a few thousand miles on it or a new 59 reg. The dealer we would like to buy from is a family owned Vauxhall franchise in Manchester and they were great. No pressure selling. Very friendly and professional. They have...
