    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...

    One year on, my thoughts about living with the W205 C class.

    Next week marks the first anniversary of me taking delivery of my C200 Petrol automatic so I thought I would share my thoughts after only travelling 6100 miles in that first year. First the good points. I am quite happy with the fuel consumption for a 2 litre petrol. From day one it has...

    Don't know exactly when it happened but I took out a 4 year service plan on my C Class last October but I see the price has increased by 16% from £30 to £35 per month for new contracts. Also the better value 4 year plan seems to be no longer available so £1260 now buys 2 A services and 1 B...

    Just had look at the tyres on my new C Class sport. The tyres fitted are Continental Sport Contact 5 MO sized at 225/50 R17 W which according to the company's website are run flats. Now didn't I read somewhere that MB had stopped supplying run flats? The tyres seem fine to me plus I have...

    My 4 day old MB is telling me that I need a service in just over 10 months time. Clearly the clock wasn't reset when the car passed through the dealer. As the dealer is 100 miles away I don't intend going back there for a reset but does it matter that when I take the car in for its first...

    Am I the only person to be so obsessed by their new MB that it is giving them nightmares? I have just had a couple of dreams tonight, or should I say nightmares that have woken me up, where I have damaged my pride and joy. The most vivid one was where I was reversing down a slope but the...
