Great thread, enjoyed the read and the photos. That early R1 is very nice. I've been riding about 10 years, started off a Honda fanboy but have changed my mind a bit these days. Currently own a 2004 R1 which I absolutely love, and just sold a VFR800 VTEC to get a BMW F900XR, which I am waiting...

Perhaps a level below what you're looking for but I've got Avon ZV7 on my C300 and they're spot on. The car came with them on the front, and it had Conti EcoContact on the rear, and there was a very noticeable improvement when they got replaced with more ZV7's. I know a C300 is putting out a lot...

That's interesting, so you've probably recovered around half the cost of the extended warranty already with that single repair, and still have the peace of mind for the rest of the term. I did read the small print and it really is a long list of exclusions. They seem to treat lots of items as...

Thanks for the help guys. I do think it must just be some grit or dust that affected it considering how quickly it went away. Funny timing that it happened just at the time of the extended warranty letter being sat on my desk haha. Anyway I've gone for the warranty, bought 2 years this...

He's a man of taste, and young enough to be wearing them! I'm not, but IDGAF. Well this brake pedal noise is turning into a non-event. Recovery guy had a listen and didnt think it needed recovering but did seem to think the pedal was a bit noisier than expected. Anyway just been out again...

Recovery was a really sound guy but he didn't think anything was wrong. It is a quiet noise to be fair, what do people think? Video taken with audio system and ventilation off. Engine running and in D, so pedal pressurised https://photos.app.goo.gl/2iTgoyXR5tjGmZ2L7

So this is a strange one. My 2020 C300 was in for a service and MoT yesterday. Got it back late lastnight and driving home there's a hissing noise when releasing the brake pedal. Noise still there there this morning and definitely doesn't sound normal, so called the dealers, they didn't do any...

I've got a 2020 C300 with the M264 engine and like it a lot. Initially it was a bit of a disappointment after the monster 3.0 straight six turbo on my M140i, but over time I've come to appreciate it. It maybe sounds a bit weedy at low revs but after that it picks up and gets a hard-edged snarl -...

Thanks. My C300 Coupe definitely doesn't have electrical adaptive. As for mechanical I'm not sure on that. Read somewhere that on coupes, sport mode engages some sort of suspension change but am not sure what that is and it doesn't really feel any different to me. Had a chat with the dealers...

Thanks - yeah sounds like this will probably be ok doesn't it. 2.5 years and 13k miles means the other strut should still be pretty fresh. Did they take care of everything on your car or did you have to pay for alignment afterwards?

I've got a C300 Coupe, Jan 2020 with only 13k miles on it. Loving the car but you may have seen me on here complaining about front suspension noise. Well I got it booked in again for another check and they've said the front strut is knocking and is going to be replaced under warranty. Good news...

@phil1994 did you ever get this permanently fixed? have something similar (and also goes quiet in wet weather) on my 2020 C300, been into dealers twice. They've sprayed lubricant on it and that's temporarily fixed it but it keeps coming back.

Great to hear, many thanks

No I totally agree it's far from a bargain! It's just oil and filter, dust filter, brake fluid (brake fluid job is priced at ~£120). This whole B service thing is a scam isn't it. Not exclusive to MB of course, I've rung BMW in the past and they'd say "oh it's a B service it's a big service"...

Interesting idea - would buying MB oil from the parts dept be any cheaper than the price they charge on the service? What I've done with BMW, is bought oil online from opie oils, at ~£90, then saved ~£200 on the cost of the service. With the Southport price being ~£540 including the brake...

Hi folks - does anyone have experience of service at Mercedes Southport? My 2020 C300 Coupe is due a "B service". Nearest place (Marshalls Preston) want £633, just no. Southport will do it for ~£540 which is a lot more reasonable - given that it includes the brake fluid I can live with that...

Great colour - looks fantastic. Like a different take on silver. Mine is black, I really wanted the blue as have owned a lot of black/white/grey cars but couldn't find a deal, and this has grown on me (when it's clean ha)

Yeah agree on the handling! I didn't really have much experience of modern Mercedes cars and thought it might be more luxury than sporting but I've been really surprised. Loads of front end grip, it loves tight roundabouts. I wanted the C43 too - had an M140i before so was used to a beasty six...

How are you getting on with the car? I love mine, great combination of sporty but comfortable for distances. Beautiful to look at inside and out. However there's a few little things I want to get checked out. Mine seems to run warm. Lot of heat and warm plastic smell from the engine bay! I...
