The hottest day of the year and the wife arrives home from work in a black car with all four windows open. Why have you got the windows open I ask? Cos it's boiling hot, why do you think, she asks Well put the air conditioning on then I said. No point, it's obviously cooler to have...

Hi all We are in the market for a new camera to take on holiday this year. I don't pretend to know very much about them so looking for a bit of advice. About the only thing we have decided on is that we fancy a bridge camera over a compact mainly due to having more zoom. Don't want a...

Sat having a cuppa in my dressing gown and slippers this morning after waving the wife of to work for the day when all of a sudden she re appears at the back door. CAR WONT START!!! Off I go, turn the key, nothing. Out with the jump leads, still nothing. Hmm strange. It was then I...

I've just about ran out of ideas so looking for help folks. Whenever the car has been used and got warm inside the windows steam up once parked again. Tonight for example the wife came home from work, parked up for about 2 hours, when we went back out all the windows were steamed up. I've...

Well I dropped the car off at main dealer earlier for a B service tomorrow. Couldn't decide if the car at 6 years old was worth going to dealer and their extortionate prices or find an indie, Every single receipt I have from previous owner is from dealer so I guess I wanted to carry it on. The...

Hi all OK, when we bought the car about last September/October time it was saying on the display it needed a service, which wasn't a problem as the dealer was happy to get it done. Not a main dealer selling it but it did go to main dealer to be done for which I have the receipt. Was told...

Hi peeps, anyone know how to remove the front door card on my 204. I've looked for a video on YouTube but can only find one for the rear door, or a 203 front door. My son tugged the interior handle too hard this morning and it now just flops in and out. Kids eh. ....

Hi folks ok here we go, about 6 weeks ago I was getting a flat battery in the mornings, had it checked by two different places one of which was main dealer and was told the battery and charging was ok. But, this was after I gave it a good charge over night. Anyway the battery behaved itself...

Having owned our little MB for only about 7-8 months ive not had the pleasure of visiting a main dealer until today. Over the months ive read many horror stories on here about how various things have gone wrong, or the appalling service people have recieved, so had mixed thoughts but decided to...

Morning all. I noticed the brake fluid level is a bit low so want to top it up a little, is there a specific type/grade i should use? Thanks.

Hi all, the good lady went out to start the car this morning and nothing. So i took the battery cover off and it jump started straight away, no problems. Whilst looking at the battery this evening to get the spec to buy a new one i noticed a small fan running, it is behind where the battery...

No nothing dodgy :D No idea how but the good lady has somehow managed to put a scrape on the rear wing/bumper. Whilst its not very big it needs to be done. Our insurance XS is £175, and a local repair company want over £300 so its a no brainer as far as cost goes. We have protected no...

Hi all, whilst driving into a parking space today i went a bit too far foward and caught the bottom of the bumpet on the kerb, when i reversed off there was a rather unpleasant scraping sound. When i got out to have a look all wasnt well. On the drivers side there is a gap of about 1/2 inch...

Hi all. Being new to MB i never imagined there would be so many different models, all of them W's:doh: Ive just about worked out mines a W204 but wondering if there is a list anywhere of whats what? Silly me thought a C class was a C class etc etc. Have to say though, im loving the car,

First week of ownership of our little C180 Komp is over and couldnt be happier. Im more than happy with the perfotmance of the tiny 1.6, and it is so quiet and smooth without a single rattle anywhere, which is not always the case as im starting to reslise the more i read on here lol Thanks to...

Hi all, at the end of the week im collecting my first Merc, only a baby 1.6 Komp Sport on a 10 reg, been a fan of German stuff for a long time as i think they build the best cars in the world tbh. I had doubts about how well it would go with a small engine but was pleasantly suprised, never...
