    Travelling to garage?

    Apparently cars can still be MOTd although new rules about to come in giving a 3 month postponement. I guess mechanics are still required to keep Key-Workers travelling? Hope you’re keeping well Abs. Ian Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Sat Nav Update Issues with Dealership

    Hi, Have you checked the Sat Nav version as oppose to the COMAND version? I have a feeling they have just updated your COMAND and not your Sat Nav! Ian Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Sat Nav Update Issues with Dealership

    Hi and welcome, No I’ve had a very similar problem. Bought a 2016 model last year which has never had the maps updated. When I questioned this with MB Head Office I was told the updates have to be specifically requested at service and they wouldn’t have been done automatically??!! Have...

    C63 Help Please...

    Hi Welcome. Mercedes did move to an online service book although I’m not sure when this was so it is entirely plausible that he doesn’t have a service book. If you speak to a MB dealership and give them the reg they should be able to pull off its service history for you to compare with his...

    PCN Notice....

    If it were me I would formally appeal the ticket in writing. Citing the ticket is incorrect as described above (parked correctly) and also the issues you have had in trying to resolve this online with supporting evidence. Unfortunately leaving the ticket to hopefully disappear will not help in...

    W639 Viano 3.5 v6 petrol M272 2008 engine cutting out

    Sounds like a balance shaft issue . I had it with that engine on my 2005 CLS . Bad news I’m afraid these engines within a certain range were prone to it and it’s an expensive fix!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Mercedes finance on nearly new car

    Ok well that may have been a “sweetener” to get you to take finance at the time. If it turns out to be true I guess you would need to understand what would happen to the extra warranty versus the interest rebate for paying off early ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Mercedes finance on nearly new car

    As far as I was aware the finance deal and the warranty were 2 separate things completely? I suppose it depends on the deal you did at the time? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    272 Balance shaft

    All about personal preference. However if you’re going to keep off road for a length of time and then sell I would think about SORN and get your tax stopped or refunded. No point paying tax for a car that is staying on your drive ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    272 Balance shaft

    Hi, Yes still driving it as I have no choice. Love the car but it’s caused me nothing but issues. Had the previous engine go bang because of Balance Shaft issues after the person I bought the car off turned the Engine Light off to hide the issue. Bought a new engine and that has the same...
