    Mercedes Warranty Quote

    My 2021 GLC’s warranty expires in January 24 so I thought that I would go online and get a quote, I seem to keep running up against requiring a user name and pin from the letter offering an extension. Do Mercedes now send out an invitation letter prior to manufacturers warranty expiring? I...

    I have a 2021 GLC and following an update to the MBUX system the inbuilt Dashcam option is now available at a one off fee of £200, I wonder if anyone on the forum can answer this fairly simple question as I cannot find anything via searching forums or web. The camera records to a USB device so...

    Cloth tape

    I purchased some cloth tape from Amazon to tidy up a small area of wiring on my GLC, it seemed to be reasonable quality and the reviews were mostly good. I’m afraid that it’s unravelling so not really suitable the make is Beikal. Could someone recommend a decent replacement that retains its...

    What is this?

    I have 2021 GLC300, I have just lifted the boot space flooring and noticed the below connector or what I believe is a connector, does anyone know what this is and where it should be? I have posted photos of the item and where it was found. The car runs perfectly so I assume nothing vital. Robin

    New C Class C300 Premium

    I had a test drive in one last week and was extremely impressed so much so I’m thinking of ordering one in possibly Spectral Blue. The suspension set up seemed particularly good for our roads soaks up the irregularities really well. The C300 engine sounded really muted and it felt really fast...

    Main Dealership - Good Service

    I have had an excellent experience with Mercedes Norwich so as main dealerships often get bad feedback it’s worth mentioning when they get it right. My 2016 E350 S212 has been emitting a knocking from what sounds like the rear near side suspension. I booked the car in after the agent explained...

    Rumbles but no grumbles

    I have a 2016 E350 S212 which has recently started making a rumbling sound from what sounds like the rear near side suspension. The car was recently booked in for service and MOT along with diagnostics for this problem, the service reception helpfully suggested that I don’t ask for the...

    DAB to DAB+

    I have a 2016 E350 with NTG5.2 my DAB radio works well but some stations are moving to DAB+. I have spoken with Comand online via email and they are looking into it for me but their initial impression was that my car should pick up DAB+, unfortunately it seems not to. I just wondered if any...

    Battery charged to 95%

    Sorry but another battery charger question. My car is a 2016 E350 Bluetec having covered 26,500 miles, it’s been garaged from new and not been chugged around urban environments despite the low miles, it has always started quickly so no battery issues so far as I know. I have a very old...

    Sky price increase

    I have been following the reports on this current pandemic, tragically people are losing their lives and loved ones, no doubt many will lose jobs or have their pay decreased to levels that will make it impossible to cope financially. Imagine my surprise to open a letter from Sky announcing...

    Acceptable tolerance?

    Good day, I would appreciate your views on the following. I have a 2016 S212 E350 which I have had from new, around 6 months or so ago I noticed the offside was up or the near side down on rear suspension, I mentioned this when it went in for a service but by that time the car had corrected...

    Scratches to engine cover

    Really interested in your thoughts to assist me where to take this or drop it. On Monday I had the car serviced at Mercedes Norwich. All appeared fine until on arrival home I opened the bonnet to give it a clean up and noticed a few scratches to the silver satin part of the plastic engine...

    You have got to be kidding

    So today walking back to the car from my Tesco shop I noticed the near side rear looked to be slightly down. I have an S212 E350 (2016) which is still under warranty. On my return I took a measurement from the floor to the side proximity sensor and the near side was around half an inch lower...

    It should never be this hard

So popped into the local Mercedes dealership yesterday to pick up some screen wash and whilst there I had a query about updates to maps and Command software.
