Gutted, my immaculate 34000 mile S350 needs a new steering column. So much for Mercedes engineering 🤬, I've had a 1956 Morris minor on its original column and a 41 year old Ford Capri, same. Ridiculous. Local specialist has changed a couple, they are sealed so you just can't grease the rubbing...

Evening all. Sudden and unexpected, at the end of a short drive as I turned onto our drive I noticed the steering wheel making a binding/ rubbing noise. Same with engine off so not a power steering noise. Anyone else experienced similar? How does the steering wheel/cowling come off? These cars...

Hi all. Would never have needed to ask this question years ago, cars are so complex nowadays. What's the best way to jack up and support my car on stands n wooden blocks? I want to have all the wheels off so I can strip n refurb em. There seems to be an awful lot of plastic under there and don't...

Hey all, this is interesting. Bought my S class with 18,000 miles on it. Was surprised that over bumps in town the rear would twitch a bit. On the motorway again a tiny twitch side to side. Assumed all air suspension did that, nothing should have worn out by then. Tyres were down to the wear...

Hello all. Two issues here, I wonder if anyone has dealt with these yet? Just got a recall notice from MB re the diesel emissions scandal, however I hear that the car runs worse afterwards and is less economical, has anyone experienced this? Also, I've seen several ads from no win no fee...

Hello all, happy new year and let's hope it's more sane than 2020. My lad is looking at buying a GLE 250D @2017. I believe the ML has a bad reputation, is the GLE a reliable car? Anything he should look out for? Thanks so much. Tom.

Hello boys n girls, any thoughts? Anyone had issues with the sat nav not recognising well established post codes? Its happened a few times now and it can't be case of getting an update as I mentioned the venues are old.. 2014 S class.... Tom.

Just curious.. Anyone know what the S class skin consists of, any plastic or Ali panels? Curious because one, it's fast and two, when I wash it the panels are unusually thin, they wobble 😂

Hi all, Don't laugh but I'm a bit wary of touching the overhead SOS buttons in my car as I have no idea of the consequences lol. I accidentally hit one a while ago and the car started making a call 😳📞 Anyone explain in layman's terms, more importantly are the calls made at £1.50 per min 😅

1st camping trip in a long time and 1st time in the S class. I'm having to leave the car with ignition on, no key in car, just to charge our mobiles. There must be a better way? Two esb sockets in centre console do little to charge, wondering if they are purely to plug music into? Confused. Com...

Another question as I explore my S class gadgets. When I display trip info and goto the consumption screen I see a little bar marked CHARGE above it. The bar goes fully green when I'm off throttle but as soon as I add a hint of throttle it slips back to zero. In my mind if you give it gas it...

I just cannot believe how smooth, powerful and rattle free the 3L V6 diesel is in my S 350. Often I don't even hear it start and you definitely can't hear it on tick over. Amazing.

I think it was the interior that made this my impulse buy lol. And 18,500 miles!!

Hello MB fans, Anyone with more experience of the stop start advise me? I'm trying to work out the logic behind my stop start but there's no pattern so far. Some days the on screen icon is green on start up and others it stays yellow for up to 10 miles or so.. I'm trying to make sense of the...

Wondering if anyone knows if the coloured interior lighting is an extra on 2014 W222 S class? I get the on/off icon displayed but can only adjust white brightness, there's no rainbow icon. Thank you..

Hello all, Anyone educate me please? I understand that these W codes describe a vehicle somehow. Is there any logic to this numbering eg W212? I have a 2014 '64' S class, would that be a W222?

Hello Merc men n women, my intro.. 😊 Just treated myself to a lovely Paladium Grey S350L bluetec AMG, the mileage caught my eye at 18,250, a 64 plate. Not new to Mercedes, about 6 yrs ago had a CLK320 soft top, loved it but the electrics were frustrating which made me very wary of my new car...
