does it become uneconomical to own a car? It is no secret that my mighty C250d S205 AMG Line P P+ is not a garage or driveway queen, it is a means of transport and used as such.In the last 2 years it has covered 14k and 16k miles. Now I see many posts where folk talk about doing in the region of...

4 x 8J/19 ET 43 RONAL Mercedes alloys with TPMS valves. 2 wheels have kerb damage. Used as winter wheels on my S205 for 2 seasons. Now surplus as change of car looms ever nearer and they are taking up room. Non staggered, originally for E Class but used them on my C Class without any bother...

.......a 2017 diesel 19k miles @ £17k or a 2020 diesel 32k miles @ £16,5k? Resale is not an issue and they are not MB. I am thinking about the DPF.

When starting my S205, there is a nasty smell from the air vents. Anyone know the best way to fumigate the ventilation/heating system? TIA.

Today at 18:20, the most gentle and sweet natured dog ever, passed over the Rainbow Bridge. We were with her to the end. She enriched our lives in the 9 years that she was with us. Bye bye Molly.

The rime is approaching when we will no longer need an estate so we are looking to change the S205 for something either a. more economical or b. more fun. a. would be a Honda 1.5 Civic, but management is lukewarm b. would be either an SLK 250d or SLC 250d. Given that management is always right...

I am tired of the excessive wear on the rear inner tread area. I have had the suspension set up, but the wear persists. The camber on the rears is, to my mind, OTT but non-adjustable. Are there replacement camber bolts available? S205 AMG Line.

Currently looking for a replacement for the C-Class. I have seen some likely prospects on AT, including well priced ones from car Superstores. They seem to operate on a "pile them high, sell them cheap" model, which does not sit well with me. Has anyone any experience, good or bad?

Can anyone cast some light on this please? On the journey this afternoon, the info screen kept cutting out and restarting after a minute or so. The car is a w205 2016. Just suddenly happened. Many thanks in advance.

When I decided to dump the late unlamented XC60, I was seduced by the mighty tarmac ripping S205 C250d AMG line P+ for sale locally. I knew nothing about the engine as I was new to MB, but it was a well specced car and a Merc, what could go wrong? Well nothing actually, love the car and it will...

On a trip down to Cornwall just before Xmas, I engaged CC only to have it kick out after a few seconds. Thinking that it was just a glitch, I tried it a few times more, but it still kicked out. It had functioned faultlessly until then. Has anyone had this issue or could suggest a remedy? My...

Due to things beyond my control, I have been spending a lot of time chair bound, which has resulted in an overdose of daytime TV. I have made some observations which surprised me. There is a charity for everything, and they all dominate the "advert break" with a plea for our money, using any...

Sent my Seamaster for service and just had the cost back. £1420 including new bracelet, crown, winder tube and hands. Not too bad as it has never been serviced in 20 years! SWMBO dropped her seamaster on the bathroom floor, smashed the crystal and damaged the face and hands. Repair estimate...

I need 2 rear tyres to replace the part worns as per my other post. I have done the usual and overthought the whole thing. I originally wanted Goodyear FI Super Sport. Then I looked at GY Assy 6, but then looked at Michelin Pilot Sport 5. Given that my driving god days are behind me and I tend...

As per previous thread, when my wheel comes back from welding, I will need to replace the 2 part worn Michelin P4S. I have been looking at the Goodyears which are available at a good price. As my days of proving that I am a driving God are long behind me, these should be more than adequate...

Having a short break in Italy at a small Agriturismo near Dicomano (christened Handjob for some reason) when I started to lose pressure in a rear wheel. This got steadily worse and on examination found that the wheel was cracked...........again! Of course, there is no spare wheel as it is on...

Lost my keys in Lincoln today. Is a replacement only available from the dealer? I have a spare so can they get the details off it? Any experience of cost? Feel very angry with myself right now.
