A word of warning for members taking their car to an MB dealership for a service!! Despite having a full MB service which stated the air filters had been changed at 28495 miles (June 2010) and 70435 miles (August 2014). I have just had it serviced by a trusted mechanic for the first time...

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions - I have an irritating squeaking noise coming from behind the dashboard in my 2008 W219 CLS. It started a couple of weeks ago and only occurs on certain road surfaces and at certain engine speeds (and only between 20 and 30mph). It's coming from...

Filled up at Shell today and was given a leaflet advertising their new "fill up and go" system - basically you use your mobile phone to scan a barcode thingy on the pump and pay for your fuel via paypal over your phone rather than having to walk inside a shop and talk to a cashier when paying...

My car "benefits" from a Tier 1 Mercedes Benz warranty having purchased the car as an approved used vehicle from a dealer. I have just had a conversation with the dealership which advised that I need a new ball joint - this isn't covered as it's a wear and tear item. I also need a new...

I borrowed a W205 recently - generally very nice! However, why have they swapped the indicator and cruise control stalks around? On my CLS and 3 previous E-Classes (also a W204 I borrowed a couple of years back from memory) the cruise control stalk is above the indicator stalk - this makes the...

Does anyone know whether it's possible to upgrade my Comand to include Freeview TV and reversing camera (found it VERY useful on a W205 I recently borrowed!)? I can play DVD's and have seen other cars with Freeview. If so, any suggestions on who to speak to and likely cost? Braybrooks seem to...

Finally got round to removing the mudflaps present when I bought my car - see the picture to the left! I know some argue that that don't affect fuel economy but all four stuck out beyond the wheels. Surely removing the 4 bloody great airbrakes on the side of the car will have some impact on...

Finally got my car back from the supplying dealer who has sorted out the embarrassingly (for the dealer!) long list of defects present when it was delivered! Whilst it took some effort on my part to make them play ball, to be fair, they have now sorted everything (including new rear discs and...

Can anyone tell me how I set the Comand system in my 2008 CLS to show points of interest on the mapping? I've seen others showing petrol stations etc with little logos but mine doesn't and it would be useful! I have looked in the handbook many times but can't figure out! I have Comand NTG 2.5...

Am I being picky or are Stealer Approved Used cars not prepared as well as they should be? I've just got my second approved used MB - first car 3 years ago had 2 scuffs on the bumpers when collected and a piece of trim hanging off inside by the rear screen. Current one (6 years old 71,000...

Hello! Having owned Mercedes cars since 2007 (two 2001 W210 320CDi Avantgarde and a 2006 W211 320CDi Avantgarde) MB Glasgow delivered my new (for me) CLS320CDi on Wednesday! Thought it was about time I joined the forum having read posts as a guest for many years.
