    W205 C63S Coolant brown

    If you look from the side of the expansion tank or directly into it, does it still look brown or is it pink from the a different view point? I had same issue and it looked pink from the correct angle. Doesnt explain loss though. Although the tank screw down lids do seem to let out coolant.

    Parts Guarantee

    Quick question. What is the warranty for a parts and labourer repair at a commercial vehicle dealership. I’m assuming it’s 2 years on the part at least but if they fitted the part surely the period for the package (parts/labour) is also 2 years. I understand this would apply at a car dealership...

    M3 Touring: Where AMG Failed it - BMW Nailed it!!

    The front wouldn’t be so bad if they didn’t “over egg” the bulges, cut outs and blades on the bonnet and bumper It’s so chav it’s almost as if it’s a poor quality aftermarket boy racer kit Less is more and no points are awarded for adding any of the above RS3 is exactly the same, it’s too much...

    Vito tyre edge wearing out.

    I keep my 2016 119 panel van at 48psi all round irrespective of load. This seems to help and I get much better tyre life. My previous 116 (638) did the same thing and I’ve mentioned the problem to the dealer many times whose response is always “they all do it sir” We’ll that’s ok then (not)

    C43 engine failure

    Typical ombudsman decision as already mentioned earlier If you’re in for £9000 might be worth retrospectively trying a small claims case Money claim online as it’s called now might even win a case like this by default as if MB UK are sued, by the time the paperwork reaches the correct...

    C43 engine failure

    False hope also, there are victories out there to be had but typically usually you are relying on good customer service Ha that’s the opinion of a cynical 54 year old Appealing to the dealer principal (general manager) face to face can sometimes yield results in a calm manner

    C43 engine failure

    Yep But means nothing in the legal system without being professionally explained by an ‘expert’ with a formal qualification in the relevant field. A judge/magistrate/solicitor would have no idea of what data like that meant without an opinion from an expert witness, it’s not fair but that’s the...

    C43 engine failure

    From the outside you definitely have a case legally, a car from any manufacturer should be able to cover that mileage for that length of time Unfortunately you’re the little man against the big corporation. Don’t know if this has already been suggested but have you any legal cover with any...
