    Aftermarket double din replacement for a 2004 CL203

    Hi, I gave up when I found out that some coding is required to be able to change some settings on the cluster, that now are done through the Comand unit, like the time, since I don’t know anyone that could do that for me. And time went by and now I guess I’m closer to sell the car anytime soon...

    Aftermarket double din replacement for a 2004 CL203

    Hi, I have a 2004 C320 Coupe, which I believe its code name is CL203? It has a Comand unit. I think it's the NTG2. Has anyone replaced this with an aftermarket solution, like a JVC KW-M730BT or Kenwood DMX-7017DABS ? I'm interested on being able to use Car Play or Android Auto but just...

    VIN number under windscreen

    Hi, in the process of having my windscreen replaced, I got the VIN number partially erased...:doh::mad::wallbash: Apart from being annoyed by such unprofessional service, can I get in trouble for this? MOT, police? In case I should get the sticker replaced, where can I get this done...

    Halfords Major Service

    No doubt that can happen but also it can happen at an official MB garage. You can find dishonest people everywhere... All I need is that they do an honest job with the things I want to replace. Yes, my car has 2 spark plugs per cilinder and I believe they are platinum. The car is only 52k...

    Halfords Major Service

    Yeah, I know no one likes these guys. I wouldn't take my previous car to a similar garage like this but not willing to spend around 600 pounds at the MB garage for a B service where the spark plugs are not even included and also not willing to spend 1.200 pounds at an indie even if it's for a...

    Help with car registration

    Thank you for all the advices. Well, it's done now so I'm just hoping nothing goes wrong. What really got me nervous was when he told me he didn't have the MOT certificate, no V5, etc. This way, I wouldn't be able to even get the V5C/2 section. Because actually he's intention was to remove...

    I agree. I was confused myself. I guess it's all because he's not the owner neither the keeper, but a sister or a sister in law. He thought she had sent it already. For the plate they will request a removal and I'll have the original plates when they arrive. Isn't that the usual?

    Actually the seller just found the MOT certificate and it also turns out he didn't send the V5 to the DLVA! So everything can be done properly. Checking the MOT history, the mileage is real. I guess I will only have to worry about this: MOT Advisory Notice issued: Nearside Front...

    Help with car registration

    Thanks! This is not the case. The car only had 1 keeper. And it has been recently transferred to a 2nd keeper because the 1st died recently. Even though the lower average mileage in the last 7 years can be for several and explainable reasons (new job closer to home, start using it as a 2nd...

    Help with car registration

    Hi, thank you all for the replies. I got a vehicle check from Autotrader and everything looks ok. The seller told me about a keeper change due to personal reasons and the date he mentioned match the report. If the vehicle was stolen or had any important issue I'm guessing it would be also on...

    Help with car registration

    Well, that's one of the things I don't understand... In my country, for whatever you need to do with a car, you would get a temporary document, that allows you to drive or sell the car or whatever you need. But something that proves you own that car. Here, you send the V5C to remove a...

    Help with car registration

    Hi, I recently moved to Scotland so I don't have totally clear how it works here all the registration process... I found a C320 that I'm about to buy but I have a couple of doubts. I can see online that it has a valid MOT but I would like to see the MOT history to confirm the mileage. The...
