    Parktronic Help Please

    Same on 07 C Clas Estate. Just had this begin too:mad: It actually switches itself off after its done the 4 bar thing and re-engages next time the engine is started. Its booked in to local dealer for attention but would it not be a warranty issue - - cars not three years old. Stuart.

    Wife A class damaged while in Multistory... :(

    Well FWIW - - when I complained about my recent repair work at that dealership they just advised me I had definitely had a new panel/skin fitted which still had a mark in it:wallbash: They said that it was a common occurrence in C Class owing to the pressings at the factory and showed me some...

    Just a rant about sneaky t%*^ts who prang and run

    Hi WXMCLK, Just a quick request with info about the body shop in Wrexham. If I don't get any kind of redress from MB in Chester about my first prang I will certainly NOT pursue their offer to repair the latest damage! Thanks Stuart.

    Just a rant about sneaky t%*^ts who prang and run

    TBH - - I tend to not get too bent about the avatar ( not like my car!) - - most times its accepted but theres always going to be those occasions. Incidentally we have returned from trouble in threes before - - 2005 and I was there:cool:

    Just a rant about sneaky t%*^ts who prang and run

    Well I am getting madder. I just now decided to take a look at the first "repaired" part of my car and can see a slight "crease" in the area of the repair:eek: You know when you look at something in a different light? The reflection definitely seems to have a distortion or shimmy in it:mad: Now...

    Just a rant about sneaky t%*^ts who prang and run

    Aside from the car - - someting else has just struck me! Could this be the work of Mercedes Chester as they seem to be making quite a profit from these types of incidents:rolleyes: Stuart.

    Brabus - -again but Ecopower Xtra

    Yes found the previous thread now. Last time I looked I couldn't see it:o Nothing specified about price. Seems a bit odd marketing really as the kind of money to fit it would prolly be better spent on the fuel in first place:) Stuart.

    Headlight symetrics change for travel worth the bother?

    Hi, I am going to France for a week in June in my C220 CDI estate and I see that MB recommend visiting the dealer to have headlights reset. Is it worth the bother as I could do what I have always done in past with deflector tape-- -no yellow tints though :0) Stuart.

    comand not showing destination?

    Hi, I wonder if anyone who has the latest v9 disc has had any issues with certain roads not showing up in destination entry. I bought what would appear to be a genuine disc with foil seal intact (of ebay- - I know) but when I try to enter Beckett's Lane Chester in it wont show. However it is...
