    Engine management light

    Was it just a reset to get rid of it? The handbook says to get it immediately checked out at a dealership but when I phoned Mercedes Me breakdown they didn’t seem too bothered and told me to carry on with my holiday.

    Anyone going to miss engine noise from 2040?

    I read that hybrids will also be banned. If you think about it they seem to spend most of the time with their engines running. I think the rule applies to new cars only built after that date.

    Anyone going to miss engine noise from 2040?

    It will be a different world in 2040 with driverless cars that sound like milk floats. Who would want to spend a small fortune on an expensive Mercedes just to sit in the passenger seat? Will the politicians and manufacturers be taking the fun out of owning a car?

    Anyone going to miss engine noise from 2040?

    OK I know it was announced a few days ago that all cars manufactured in 23 years time are going to have to be electric but I was thinking that I will miss the sound of the combustion engine. Cars like the C Class diesel have been criticized for their gruff sounding engines but is a silent ride...

    Recommended Mercedes dealers for servicing from this list (Beds/Herts/London area)

    I found that MK was the cheapest dealer for a service compared to Bedford, Watford and Stevenage. Maybe I have been lucky but for me MK have been great and have gone the extra mile for me despite me not buying the car from them.

    Diesel drivers being lined up to take the hit.

    I had the choice in October 2015 and went for petrol. Even back then there was strong hints that petrol was the way to go and to help reinforce that view taxation always helps people to make choices the government wants. It remains to be seen if trade in values will be affected in the near future.

    Mercedes in mass recall of late models.

    It's to do with the starter motor overheating on cars that won't start. The bottom line is if your car won't start don't keep trying to start it.

    Buying on finance for discount then paying full amount

    16 months ago I went through a broker who put me in touch with a main dealer. My C Class was bought on HP with a £3000 loan over 2 years paying £152.40 in interest, which secured a further £1500 discount on top of the broker discount. 12 days after picking the car up I called MB finance and...
