    GLE450

    Ordered it last March and took delivery on 2nd September. Dealership told me that further orders were subject to a 6 - 8 month delay, and the configurator is no longer available! Not sure what's going on, I did see a press release about the shortage of parts...

    Best tracker / security device

    Hi, it wasn't just the keyless theft issue - I always double click it and we set the alarm on the entire downstairs area of the house at night, it was around the threat from car jacking...

    Best tracker / security device

    Hi, am about to take delivery of my new GLE in a couple of weeks - sorry if this has been asked before, what's the best way of securing it? I've looked at the Trackback devices, and seen a few posts regarding Ghost, can anyone recommend a fitter?

    What do you want to know?

    I placed the order for my GLE 450 back in March, the dealership has updated me that it's built and expected at the dealers from 22nd August, so should be in it the first week of September.

    What do you want to know?

    Sorry if this a daft question - I've ordered a new GLE450 and the dealers have indicated a build date of 27th July - what does 'build date' actually mean? Is it the day it starts to be built, or the end production date? How long does a GLE take to be built anyway?

    NOx sensor failure (MWL) on my CLS 400 (W218) 2015 - dealer diagnosed and said that the tier 1 extended warranty will cover these, but have been waiting for just over 2 months now as the dealer says there is no stock in Germany and are on back order!

    GLE Embargo?

    So that's a bit strange then - I've specified the car and options, colour etc., signed the order and paid the deposit, after all that then the sales guy says about the embargo - maybe he's hedging me waiting 4/5 months instead of getting one in the dealership group? I'll call Stratford MB...

    GLE Embargo?

    I've recently placed an order for a new GLE 450, and the salesman at the dealers has told me that MB has placed a temporary embargo on new GLE's - is anyone aware of this?

    Blind spot & lane keeping assist warning lights

    On my CLS400, 3 years old, these lights have been coming on around every 6 months ago, requiring a trip to the dealers to clear the fault. The first time I went they had to replace the radar sensor, the subsequent times they reset the fault. This time, the mechanic said that the fault was...

    Lower Spec UK Mercs

    I have a CLS400 owned since new 2015 and I'm looking at the new one. But the UK version is lower spec than, say, one purchased in Germany (no cross stitch seats, only 2 wheel choices etc). Why is that?

    Ummmm ... No

    Looks like something I might have done when I was 18!

    Do you get strange looks?

    My black new CLS looks awesome, with the diamond grill, and from other people looking at my car I can tell they think so too!

Fewer UK cars down in Italy...
