    The power of youtube!

    Guy a in my village turned up with a new GLC just after they were launched - saw it for about a week and it disappeared. A couple of months later he had a beautiful Macan. Turns out (as told to me) the main computer in his GLC had given up so no instruments etc. He just took it to the...

    Mercedes Benz Newcastle

    I bought a badge from them via eBay and all was fine - in my opinion their servicing and after sales is absolutely dire!

    Map pilot replacement

    I'm now totally sick of the Map Pilot in my CLS and am looking at any possibilities to replace it with something which will integrate with the rest of the car before I resort to a tomtom on the dash. Main issue is that it insists on taking me down almost impassable roads no matter what I do with...

    Thule Aero bars and roofbox issue

    I used t bolts with reinforcement inside the box ( large plates) on my Thule. The bolts go through aluminium sections which run the length of the box so my opinion was that all would be OK - 1200 miles to Spain fuly loaded with no issues at all

    Wooden House Gates

    If it's privacy you're after have you looked at UPVC gates - very popular on the continent and no rot issues - around here wooden gates look rough after about 2 years and are dropping to bits after about 5!!

    Thinking of cancelling my order

    I would cancel - this is the start of the service you can expect. Imagine how bad it will be when you get the car. Walk away.

    Dealership Servicing - Beware!!!

    Pollen filters on focuses are awkward -every ford 'technician' has a stock in his toolbox - checks them out of stores so customer gets charged and goes straight to toolbox. In my experience Mercedes are even worse - appalling set of shysters

    Boot Star

    The star on the boot of my CLS Shooting Brake has dents in it. I'm looking at a replacement but wondered whether an older model Merc badge may be better quality? Badge is approx 74mm dia - any ideas if I can replace with a different model. Thanks Roy

    MB accept S205 rejection

    EXACTLY - dealer fails to provide a fix to a simple issue after 3 visits and 6 hours wasted. Customer service say it has to go back to the dealer who are obviously not interested. As I said to them this morning - they are not Customer Service they are Dealer Support - I will NEVER buy another...

    Dealer Recommendation please

    Don't know why they can't do it. They've had it three times for about 6 hours in total and still not fixed - incompetence? or just terrible customer service?

    Dealer Recommendation please

    Looking for a dealer to fix the front passenger window on my 2014 CLS Shooting Brake. Should be an easy fix (catching seal when opening door) but Sytner Carlisle can't do it. Northern England / Southern Scotland preferred but need a trustworthy dealer who knows what they're doing. Car obviously...

    Newbie

    Thanks - issue is simply that the front passenger window is catching the seal when door is opened. Sytner Carlisle have had it six hours and slightly better but not sorted. From what I've seen I wouldn't trust them with a rusty lawnmower. Roy
