Thanks to all for your replies. Much appreciated. T

A thousand thanks for this. It really is madness to have to travel at such speeds for example, in the open countryside 500 mts before a village which used to be a 30 mph. Locals I have spoken with all say they have tried travelling at 20 mph on open roads and those without a limiter are sure...

I have a C180 Blue Efficiency 2012. I know how to use the cruise control but, given the crazed 20 mph limits now replacing 30 mph in Wales, I am trying to set the speed limiter to 20mph. It has the controls on a stalk below the multifunction stick on the left of the steering wheel, not on the...

Thank you . All sorted now. T

Many thanks, That's just what I wanted to know. Enjoy your trip. T.

I did ring them but kept getting a recorded message " The person you are calling knows you are waiting" then "try again later" Anyone used them recently? Thanks T

Hi, I have used MD Motorcare at Ellesmere Port Cheshire four times for servicing my C Class and see that they seem to have expanded with more staff than last time I used them. Has anyone used them recently and can you confirm that the ex Mercedes technician Dave ( I don't know his surname)...

The dealer now informs me that the second outstanding recall on my 2012 C180 is for attention to the water pump. Anyone else had such a recall as well as the airbag issue.

Hi, I have a recall notice on my 2012 C180 for a fix to an airbag issue. The main dealer has told me there are actually two outstanding recalls for my car but I am only aware of the one I have just received. Anyone know how I can find out what the other one is for as the MB recall site I see is...

I had thought that I may have accidentally touched the fob but I don't keep the keys in my pocket. I carry them in a security bum bag which is also where they are kept when I am at home. Naturally when I am home the bum bag doesn't move so there is no chance that the button could be accidentally...

For the fourth time in two years I have found the boot of my car had opened without my asking it to. I have looked on line and this seems to be a problem others have too. It is not that I am accidentally pushing the key button and it usually takes at least a one second press to operate the boot...

Thanks to all for your replies. Best wishes, T

Thanks folks, good advice as ever. The car had only done around 9000 miles when I bought it in September 2015. It had a full history but is now telling me the B3 service is due and I was quoted ( if I recall correctly) over £700 by the local MB main dealer. I suspect with such low miles...

Hi, My 2012 C180 petrol is due for service and I am wondering where to go for the best. I am wary pf putting it in the hands of a main dealer due to bad experiences with them in the past ( Honda, Volvo etc) They have all tried to do work which to my mind did not need doing. I have used a...

Hi Rory, Thanks, I did receive your useful 'essay' ;) and thanks for that, it is much appreciated. I have responded to it but am not sure if you received it. One query was, did they do the extra work without your permssion and then bill you for it? Thanks again, T.

I see you are based in Gods county, Cheshire. I will be using Inchcape in Chester. Any experience of them? T

Ash 59. That's a good tip. One of the best. Cheers T.

Do these service plans include the MOT? I am wary of letting a main dealer do our MOT's as I have caught two of them out trying to fit parts that were not needed. One was a Honda dealer a few years ago who said my Accord Exec needed discs and pads all round or it would fail the MOT. I told him...

Hi, Does anyone think it is a good idea to take out a main dealer service agreement for a 62 reg C180 with just 10,000 miles covered. I have seen a quote of around £30 a month for that: or is it better to pay as you go for each service as it arises? What is the difference in costs? Thanks T
