    The 0 doesn't change. That's a fixed graphic. There should be a swingometer lighting up beneath it.

    Front tyres jumping when putting full lock on C63 AMG

    As mentioned above it's the geometry. The OP will be able to see it if he parks on full lock. A good portion of the tread is not touching the road. It's not specific to the AMG cars either. My C350e suffered from it.

    Does the fan work in normal use? Make sure you have AUTO and AC switched on, and a temperature of 21 or more set inside the car.

    W205 OE (Winter) alloys. 17" with TPMS and no tyres.

    Set of four alloy wheels with genuine Mercedes TPMS valves fitted for W205 cars. No centre caps or tyres. Part number A2054010400. 7J X 17 H2. ET 48,5. I used these as my winter wheels on a C350e so they fit over the big brakes, but please check the wheel fitments for your car. Nice and easy to...

    From memory it's to do away with the foot waggling boot access as the tow bar interferes with the sensor. Check on the chassis plate on the door sill that your car is homologated for towing as not all Mercs are.

    Just got message car too low stop immediately

    Sorry to hear this OP. When mine did the same it was water ingress into the compressor which caused the compressor to fail. Yours sounds more like a hole in a pipe or bag somewhere. :(

    Airmatic suspension failure rate

    On my C350e (W205) the suspension failed at around 35,000 miles and five years. Cause of the failure was water ingress into the wiring harness which connects to the compressor. Water creeps along the wires and then blows the compressor. On a RHD car the wiring/compressor is tucked in to the...

    I would think you would be lucky to see much regen in Sport mode. You will be using more battery power than you can put back in by normal driving.

    Mine activated once and frightened the bejeebers out of me. A van turned left in front of me and slowed dramatically half way through his turn. My car did the usual red light and beep warning but then stopped dead with no input from me. That's the only time it actually stopped. The red light and...

    C350e estate... tow bar coding

    I've just looked at my plate, and I think this suggests mine can tow. Is anyone able to confirm that's what it means please?

    C350e estate... tow bar coding

    As Chris says, you could factory option a towbar, but it was in conjuction with deleting the glass roof and maybe (can't remember) having the 18" wheels.

    My car is five years old, so I have renewed the original warranty twice now. £499 per year.

    Exciting DIY post! I've noticed over the last couple of weeks a bad judder from the front brakes when braking from reasonably high speed. It seemed to come after all the snow we had. I read a thread which said that the brake pad pins can seize and it can sometimes come across as if you have a...

    I use E-SAVE for going up very big hills and very cold mornings, otherwise leave it in Hybrid and be as smooth as possible.

    Remember your brake lights don't come on when you are coasting and it's surprising how quickly you can lose speed on our cars, so that can be annoying/catch out the people behind you.

    Looks like the new C-Class hybrid will have much improved electric performance: "129hp motor and a 25.4kWh battery, giving around a 100km (62-mile) range." Even if you take that with a pinch/handful of salt it should be at least 30 miles which is pretty handy...
