    E Class Estate for the Wife

    Hi I have the E280 Cdi Sport. 14 years young with 132,000 on the clock. Bought with no knowledge of any Mercedes but fishing rods did not fit in the old jag. Just got to say I totally love it. Think I have become very sad, no longer listen to music, just listen to the engine and gear changes...

    What's the etiquette?

    No clue about ettiqet. Only joined this club 6 weeks ago and love it. Never realised how common Mb s are. I now do what a lot of Mb drivers do. Squiggle about attempting to avoid ever imperfection in the road. That said I would not swap.

    Thank you. I will try that tomorrow. Sounds daft but no I am not sure about the five speed box. Nothing visible, nothing on decoding vin. But I can only count five changes. Think I will have to look a bit harder.
