So I’m thinking of getting a C43 (quantum leap as I’m over 60 years old). Contacted a main dealer (not Mercedes) that is selling one. Not getting very far. See email extract below. Interpretations welcome. I asked if the car had an AMG Performance exhaust. 1.

Hi all, Why isn’t anything simple anymore? (Rhetorical question). I’m trying to buy 2 new front tyres for my 2015 C Class. Every brand of premium tyre seems to have about 10 variations. All with very similar names but all different. Eg. Continental Contact Sport 5 has so many different...

So. The above code came up while driving on the M25. I used my Carsoft diagnostic tool to find the code. My 2015 C Class is under Mercedes warranty. It’s now done 62k. Looks like might be a dpf issue. Would Mercedes-Benz fix that under warranty? I think maybe not. Should I go to an Indy...

My current car is a C220D. Been thinking of changing it for a C43 (around 2017). I intend to do some long distance drives for leisure etc. with the differential between diesel and petrol now in favour of petrol by 30p per litre and rising. What are people thoughts on the cost saving of...

Hi all, Not a specific road rage event. But I just don’t get some people who rather than allow cars to filter in one by one where the road narrows, think they have the right of way. I often find myself in front of a car where the road narrows where the other car driver thinks he has right of...

Hi, Is anyone aware of any catalytic converter thefts from Mercedes’ C Class cars? My brother left his car with us as he went overseas and within 6 days the cat on his BMW 2010 318i was cut off by 4 villains. Thanks in advance.

Hi all, Much to my surprise. The new tyres I had fitted have worn down quicker than I expected. Reason being that I had new Continental Contact 5’s on my BMW 320 D but they lasted around 30k miles. Has anybody found that the S001’s wear out quicker than other brands? I drive sedately and...

Just took my C220 to Mercedes main dealer as the MIL light was on. The NOx sensor is faulty. Only replaced the other one 7 months ago at huge cost. The auxiliary battery message was coming up to. Yes it needs replacing to. Fine. The health check video has the guy saying that my main battery...

I want a C63. 2015-2017 Up to 40k. FMBSH My son has an A35. He insists I should buy the “S” version. Discuss.

Funny but my panoramic roof stopped working about 6 weeks after the car was serviced which included lubricating the roof. I took it to Mercedes as I have an independent warranty. They fixed it by installing a new mechanism. Total cost £2100. Yes yikes. I had to pay £770 of that. I noticed...

Just had my MOT done by Halfords. The phone holders that fit in the vents move about so I got a suction pad one. I fitted it by the right hand A pillar. They took the phone holder off and put an advisory - item removed from driver view prior to test. Really???

I just signed up for a 3 year service plan for my C Class. Cost £1440. My next service alone at a MB main dealer was going to cost around £1200. As far as I’m concerned that’s a good deal.

Hi Can anybody recommend a good Indy in Sutton, Surrey or Croydon. Even the surrounding area. Thanks.

My 21 year old son bought a 2 year old A Class from Sinclair Cardiff very recently. A 260 mile round trip! We expected the car to have been checked and any issues (hopefully minor) fixed. Buying from a main dealer, we expected no surprises! We were WRONG! We were ushered into the showroom at...

Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere but I couldn’t find a direct same issue. I bought my 2015 C220 PP from a reputable dealer a few months ago. Has anyone bought a Mercedes warranty where you didn’t buy the car from Mercedes? My car has FMSH btw. Thanks.

Hi all, So my front left tyre has been losing lots of pressure every 12 hours or so. Halfords have checked and found nothing wrong? Now what? should I get the tyre off and get the rim cleaned and sealed with whatever they use?

I’m changing the tyres on my W205. Got a good price for a pair of new Bridgestones and having them fitted at home. Will I need to put new valves or not? Currently I have the TPMS devices fitted. thanks

Hi, Has anyone ever adjusted their washer jets? Mine are badly angled. Seems like you need a special tool. It’s not the old out a pin in and adjust type. Any advice greatly appreciated.

Hi, Just bought a 2015 C Class. The dealer has put new cheap tyres on the rear. I want to change them for something better. I was thinking of Continentals. Any thoughts? 245 40 18s on the rear.
