    I have just collected my new C180SE. Plug in the iPod - all you can see are the 4 character folder names from the ipod database - CRAP! No playlists, titles etc. What you hear is pot luck.

    2013 c180se

    I am awaiting delivery of this. It has the crap star in the middle grille. Does the one without the star fit ? There used to be an Elegance but that has gone now and it cost 2k extra for that grille and 17" wheels, basically. I got a lot more by choosing my extras - just like the old days when...

    Last year when I drove home from a service the BAS light came on. I ended up with a new master cylinder because it had leaked into the servo and damaged the travel sensor.

    W210 blower changes speed by itself

    I don't have climate control, just air-con. Sometimes I turn the blower switch off and the fan still runs, other times it changes speed itself. If I play with the control switch it clears the problem. Changed blower reg six months ago (new part from MB) and it seemed to be okay. MB gave me...
