Considering buying a CLS as a run-around, what should I be aware of when viewing? Doubt I'll find much with less than 100k miles on but appreciate will be getting a bit 'leggy'....

My local Kwik-Fit is worse than useless - twice now it’s been in to realign my steering wheel after a rather large pothole/wheel interface and twice they’ve manage to make it worse than before. Unfortunately as a company car Kwik-Sh!t are the appointed tyre dealers and they will not let M-B...

Cheers, I’ll take a look for that check-box.....

I’ve a 2017 C-class and an S7 - I’ve never had the mail function working but not had a problem so far with SMS? Wish the car came with Android Auto and Apple Car Play rather than Comand - use that in my wife’s Tiguan and all works perfectly.......

They run the engine up to the limiter for a period of time - if the timing belt (if fitted to your engine) is weak it could fail and trash the engine....

I think its the big rubber run flat lump inside the tyre that probably damaged my rims, transferred the shock straight to the rim rather than the tyre absorbing the majority.

I’d agree with this - I hit a pothole and not only did it ruin both front tyres but also buckled both the rims.....

Regarding the hands-free boot, if it's anything like mine you'll end up spending more time kicking the rear undertray trying to make it work than it would to put your shopping down and touch the button!

I've owned and worn a selection of what I'd call half-decent watches over the years including Tag Heuer, Rolex and Omega - all are lovely in their own right however my daily wearer since yr 2000 has been my Omega Seamaster Professional, doubt I'll ever get rid of it. Only thing that keeps...

Went to France and back last week on Eurotunnel, car in front of us was an SL65 Black Edition - now that was a wide car! God knows what the rear track was on that but it was wide!

Oh I get that 100% - I run a 300h (diesel hybrid as I commute 120 miles per day) and get around 60mpg vs. 74mpg but am happy with that. No way I'd run a 350e as it would cost me a bomb in petrol however once they get Tesla kind of range then I'll make the switch....

Interesting article I've just seen on fuel consumption claims - C350e doesn't stand up well - 98% of hybrid cars don't meet official fuel economy figures | PetrolPrices.com

We regularly use Snapfish including some prints from our wedding, always been good and often have discount codes doing the rounds....

The gearbox in my C300h (7G+) was rubbish until the software update. Not brilliant still now but a hell of a lot better..... Wish it had a DSG box.

In the days of running my own cars i always used Autoaid, just signed my son up to them too. Never once had a problem with their service and if i ever own my own car again I’d certainly use them again.

Worked in the rail industry for over 30 years after my apprenticeship, managed many fleets and am currently managing the technical support contract for the new trains supplied to Eurostar.

Enjoyed my K4 1000 - lovely bike....

Radial brakes on the K3/K4 too......

Whilst talking bike plates then I did have V60 FAC, was on a Aprilia RSV-R Factory. V60 being the engine configuration (60 degree V) and FAC being the Factory model

Lad who used to work for me has R6 FCU - the FCU meaning F**k you.....
