    Goodbye Mercedes

    Upfront I need to say I have had 6 Mercedes from new - needless to say I have always been very happy with them. I have had 2 CLK’s, an E Class Coupe, a CLS, a C350e and an E350e. I wanted to change my E350e for a new E300e but Merc couldn’t deliver within 8 months and I couldn’t live with...

    Extent of DVLA selling our data

    There is a report today that the DVLA has sold / released the ownership details on 66% of all vehicles. For this to be legitimate then that means 66% of all owners have committed some sort of offence / violation / non payment. I find that very hard to believe and I think it shows the DVLA must...

    E Class seats

    I have had my E350e for a year now and the front seats still seem to feel that I am sitting on them and not in them. There seems to be very little cushion where it meets the backrest. I have the massage seats but I believe they are no different to standard leather ones. Does anyone else find...

    So you thought your seats were all leather (not Artico)

    One of the reasons I bought a SE rather than an AMG (style) E Class was because the standard seats were leather and I didn’t fancy Artico having seen some of the problems reported on here. I saw this on the ‘other forum’ and really are shocked. Driver discovers 'leather' Mercedes seat is...

    Manual Map Update

    Has anybody manually updated their Comand maps. Mercedes Me is saying I have a map update that needs to be a manual one. Reading the instructions it seems it will take ages but that the ignition needs to be on - will it continue to load over several journeys and is the sat nav available whilst...

    Has anyone found a way to enable the latest version of Comand to show speed cameras ? My current version does (I use pocketGPSworld) but earlier there were a couple of posts saying that the latest Comand on the E Class will not import the camera’s as POI’s.

    Mercedes Me - new additional services

    Just trawled through the new Mercedes Me conditions and services. There seems to be additional services for E Class 2016 and C Class from June 2017. It looks to me that the C Class gets as an option the remote park assist (the one from outside the vehicle) from June 17 model - I am sure you'll...

    I have just received an email with a link to a 'personal presentation' from the salesman arranging my new car. Very informative and much more convenient to a call as you can watch it when it suits you. Has anyone else received one of these ? This seems to be a new service although a...
