    Setting speed limiter C180

    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...

    C180 recalls

    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.

    Unwanted boot opening C180

    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...

    Service C180

    Service agreement worth it?

    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

    New garage. How wide for a C Class?

    Folks, I am looking to buy a new garage to keep my 2012 C 180 away from prying eyes. Given the size of modern cars the old 7ft wide doors seem too narrow of easy access. Has anyone got a 10ft wide garage and will a C Class fit in it OK with room to open the doors? The garage I am lookng at...

    Auto door locking turned on or off

    Hi folks, I have ( I had thought) disabled the auto door locking feature on my 2012 C Class in case I get locked out. Book says it locks automatically if the wheels are turning and the engine is running. I turned it off at the start of my last trip by holding the 'unlock' button until I heard...

    Fresh air into cabin. How?

    Hi folks, Driving my C Class recently - only had it 7 days so still going through the manual - I noticed the air in the cabin seemed to give me a sore throat and a dry nose. With previous cars I have been able to set the heating system to give me a cool head with fresh air and warm feet from...

    Hi folks, I have just bought a 2012 C180 1.6 auto petrol and not having driven an auto for many years wonder how best to drive up a long steep hill in stopping/starting traffic. A few months ago a bus caught fire on the A55 between St Asaph and Caerwys. This led to me being stuck in a queue...
