    Advice needed on paint touch up

    No 🤣 Just wanted to preclude as a suggestion. Have to say though, the rest of the paintwork is immaculate despite age of car.

    Advice needed on paint touch up

    Hi. Stupidly reversed into metal bar which has grazed my rear bumper. Looking for advice on how to repair without buying new bumper or having expensive re spray. Would a pen do the job? I’m guessing not as more than a scratch. Any input gratefully received.

    Climate control panel dead

    And ....... we’re all good again. All systems magically back to normal. Maybe neilrr had the right idea. Thanks so much for the suggestions and there is obviously an underlying problem so I will change the accessory battery for starters. I guess she’s getting on a bit now and really hates the...

    Climate control panel dead

    Hi. Been out twice today in my C Class and on third occasion at around 8 o’clock tonight turned engine on and hit the heated rear window button while I scraped the ice off the car (again) but no light came on. Quickly realised that the whole control panel was not working. Immediate thought was a...

    MOT fail on subframe - from despair to delight

    Yeah, I thought of that. Not sure what to do. I’m guessing they will still say it’s corrosion although I’ve seen it myself from under the ramp and it looks okay to me but I’m not a mechanic.

    MOT fail on subframe - from despair to delight

    I took my W204 to a local Mercedes ‘specialist’ (not authorised) for an MOT. It failed on a hole in the subframe. I was advised to get this welded elsewhere (they don’t do welding) although there was some doubt if this could be successfully done. I found another garage that could weld and took...

    ABS failure - safe to travel?

    I’ve had a tyre pressure check warning on ignition for the past few days which repeats after about 15 minutes driving. Have checked pressures and seem okay. Today had ABS and run flat indicator fail warning on ignition so have booked into garage in a weeks time. I really need to do a round trip...

    Failed MOT on headlight washers ??

    Thanks for all the input on this. As a footnote, I was a shocked that on collection was advised the cost of the repair (seized washer pump) was £200. The actual part was listed as £65. I have used this little indie garage for many years with no issues so assuming it took a long time to fix.

    Failed MOT on headlight washers ??

    My trusty steed, 11 plate C class just failed MOT as headlight washers not working. Okay, have to admit that although owning the car for a few years, didn't even realise I had headlight washers as I need to clean them every few weeks. The mechanic who made the fail was genuinely apologetic and...

    Replaced battery but lost Stop/Start

    Update - Start/Stop kicked in today after a bit of drive so I guess not fully charged as you guys suggested. Big thanks for all input. Unfortunately for me, within a few days have forked out for MOT ( need new front tyres soon) , now new Bosch battery and now need an A3 service. Have no...

    Replaced battery but lost Stop/Start

    Hi With no warning my main battery just died. Use car every day but mainly short runs with a fortnightly longer run thrown in but I thought with the amazing array of warnings available my faithful Merc would have suggested battery was packing up. So, turned on ignition and a click, and nothing...

    Is my Sat Nav having a breakdown?

    I have a huge amount of faith in my Becker Sat Nav that has moved me round lots of traffic problems over the the last couple of years. Sadly, I have started to doubt her integrity as on infrequent trips to Brighton from the Midlands to visit relatives, she always seems to try and drag us off the...
