Esso Supreme is (quite a bit) cheaper and closer to where I live than the Shell equivalent, so I do use that every few tanks. Anyone have any experience of using the two brands' premium diesels and care to compare them?

Haha! I think I might have had cocktail hour a little early...on the continent! Obviously 245 - my bad!

Would the Goodyear 5s be a good choice for my W212 E220CDI on 145/45/17?

OK. Where do I get one? Is it this...

I think it'll have something to do with where the car is parked. Mine lives line of sight through the kitchen window. I've certainly unlocked other cars but this is the first I've owned with a fancy electric tailgate.

And me...and I've only owned the bloomin' thing a fortnight!

I'll take that. And I have to say...it's wonderful to drive so I'll forgive anything! ;)

Hahaha! I think that's true. There are certainly those for whom thy've never done anything wrong (or compromised to save a $)! Maybe I'll get away with it as it's Xmas!

Actually, I have to rescind the above following additional investigation - first dry day since I bought the car (it's lovely and quiet on dry roads!) Whether the seat is at the lowest or highest setting (or any in between) , the result is the same: 1) With the mirror adjusted to see the whole...

I guarantee the next time it happens it'll be pouring with rain too!

:D:D:D

Hope no-one minds me resurrecting this thread. I've already done this to my (new to me) 2013 E class estate, so it must be quite easy to accidentally do. Has anyone been inside the remote - i.e. is it easy to take apart? We used to put little bits of paper behind similar switches in...

That's a really good point and I think I probably fall into this category. I've driven too many vans and people movers I guess. I shall experiment with a lower position.

And to you. Take care and may you and yours be safe and well.

Deffo. I'm done arguing...just wish I could get my Merc to the continent for a shakedown cruise.

Wise words. Apologies to anyone whom I might have upset.

Well, I perceive you as aggressive and unnecessarily rude. Perhaps we both need a mirror. I have acknowledged I didn't understand about the (less than ideally positioned for me and some others) display. All other comments relating to my driving style and ability are purely conjectural. Why...

I don't think so. Because in response to my question about technology, one of the responses was to learn to drive. I can, and have done safely for a long time. Surely relevant. In what possible sense are responses to a question about technology of this type remotely relevant? And how is...

That's right. And I'm really a newbie despite having been mainly lurking for a few years.

I did. Mea culpa. And I have learned how the MB system works. Unfortunately I have been patronised and insulted along the way. Oh well. Once again (hopefully for the last time) I have NEVER relied on any such system. It's a useful aid is all. I completely agree and have not said anything...
