Hi The service plan on my W212 E63 ends this year, so I asked my local dealer for a quote on a renewal. I have for the last six years taken out a service plan on my car and paid betwwen £40-45 per month, so was taken a back when I was quoted £83 per month. Any ideas on why it's increased so...

Hi Mother in law is looking at a nice W204 saloon which the dealer has described as being Carbon black. It's defo not Obsidian as wife has said she can't see any metallic flakes in the paintwork. I've never heard of Carbon black as a colour, does it exist or is it just the name for non-metallic...

Hi I've had service plans on my and wife's car for the last three years, and recently renewed both. I have never been charged for using a loan car when taking my cars over the last three years, but today I took my car in for it's service and picked up the loan car as expected. However, when...

Hi all Sorry for a 'What's it worth' thread but thinking of selling my pre-facelift W212 E63 in the New Year. Have owned for last three and a half years, but I simply don't use it anywhere near enough. In my ownership, I've only done about 2.5k miles per year. Waited ages for one in this spec...

Hi all I have a W212 and the wife has a W204, I knew my W212 was lacking in 12v sockets with just one in the front and one in the rear but none in the boot, but recently sat in the back of my wife's W204 and was really surprised to discover that there was no 12v socket in the rear. Which means...

Hi all Hope everyone is keeping well. My 2012 W212 E63 with 44k miles, has just finished a three year Mercedes service plan at a cost of £42 per month, using the £150 discount code at the time. I've had a good experience with Mercedes Loughton who've performed all three services, so phoned them...

Hi I have a W204 Coupe and W212 E Class, which both have the same design of cupholder i.e. the slidey cover that reveals two cupholders. I just wondered whether the divider was adjustable as it does feel like you can slide the divider but there is some resistance, and I don't want to break it...

Hi I’ve recently noticed that my 2012 E63 has developed a slight start up issue. When I start it up after not being driven for up to two weeks, it fires up really strongly even when I’ve thought the cold weather may have made it struggle. However, say I’ve driven it for a while from the...

Hi My wife has a 2014 W204 C class coupe with the pano roof, which has developed a a squeaky rattle randomly. I’m hopeful that lubricating the roof might get rid of the rattle, but before I attempt a bodge DIY job, I’m certain I’ve read somewhere that Mercedes should service a pano roof every...

Hi I know you can download firmware updates for you car from here: Home @ Mercedes-Benz Connectivity, but I wanted to know whether you can download and apply the updates to your car via USB stick rather than burning to a CD? Car in question is a 2014 W204 C class coupe if that affects...

Hi Firstly sorry if this is in the wrong place. Mods feel free to move where you think it fits best. So the wire part of the petrol cap on my W212 recently split in two. Ordered the part off Mercedes on eBay but when trying to get the old one off, the covering pin which holds the loop part in...

Hi My wife has a 2014 W204 coupe and we’ve noticed that when locking the doors the passenger mirror makes a cracking noise when folding in. This only happens when they fold inand not when they fold out. Any ideas as to why the issue might be and how to resolve? Thanks

Hi My wife picked up a lovely 2014 W204 coupe recently. I don’t drive it that much but I could have sworn when she first picked it up that when you held down the boot release button on either the key fob or in the door panel the boot would actually fully open. However recently when I use...

Hi Am after a set of AMG illuminated door sills for my 2012 E63. If anyone has a pair for sale in good condition or at a reasonable price then pls give me a shout. Thanks Jason.

Apologies if you've all seen this before, but came across this AMG depreciation calculator at lunchtime, and thought some of you might find it interesting. Any ideas on how accurate it is? Based on my details, it estimates my E63 will only lose £4k over the next three years. Would love that to...

Hi all My wife has just purchased a 2014 W204 C Class Coupe which doesn't have the under seat storage compartments which I find really handy on my E Class. I think they were an option as I'm certain I've seen them on W204s before. Does anyone know if they are possible to retro fit? If so...

Hi Been looking at W204 coupes for my wife and recently saw a nice 2014 model. However when I tried to access the rear seats I was surprised that front seats didn’t move forward electronically when I tipped them forward. I thought this was a standard feature, or was it an option? Thanks

Hi Am after a black (preferably Obsidian) W204 C180 AMG Sport or Sport Plus. Must be an auto and have Comand, Xenons and full MBSH and preferably with heated seats and folding rear seats. I'm based in North London but am prepared to travel some distance. Cash waiting for the right car. Thanks.

Hi I have a 2012 pre facelift E63 with Comand NTG 4.5. I've recently had the Mercedes Me adaptor fitted and all seems to be connected up. The Mercedes Me app on my iPhone says I can send destinations to my car by sharing it through the app, but when I send a destination to the app via Apple...

Hi Took my car in for a B service at a Mercedes main dealer as I’m on a service plan, and while there they informed that they’d spotted fluid leaking under the vehicle. They asked me if I was ok with them investigating and I said yes. Turns out it was air con leak from the air con condenser. I...
