Most people seem to moan about their dealers. I have moaned in the past but glad to report that I have had a very pleasant experience from my local MB dealer. Last week I had a letter from MB saying they would like to inspect and carry out some tests on the braking system on my 2003...

Does anybody know if the Airmatic air suspension on an E320CDi S211 can be re-programmed to alter the ride heights? Basically, I would like to have a setting where the suspension is raised approx 15-20mm over standard. The raised setting is too high and will revert to normal setting...

Took my E320Cdi to MB for an E service today, very helpfull and a pleasant experience so far. (Makes a change from people slagging them off!) Anyway, I got a nearly new C180K Sport saloon as a courtesy car, Hmmm, not very impressed with it. Don't get me wrong, it's better than the usual Corsa...

I know it's been discussed a thousand times before on here, but has anybody any experience of different tyre types on a S211 E320CDi Estate (2003) with airmatic if that makes a difference. The car just had it's 1st MOT today, no worries apart from advisories on all 4 tyres, the rears are down...

Seeing as you lot are so helpful, I thought I would ask if anybody might be in the shopfitting trade and may be able to help me. I am looking at fitting out a new retail/wholesale business venture. I have a 10,000 sq/ft building, half will be racked out for warehousing the other half will be...

I have noticed a smell of fumes inside the car, not chokingly bad but noticable. Always have the windows up so it must be coming in through the A/C. Also after a run you can smell hot diesel outside the car. The car is an E320CDi 2003 Estate, has anybody else had this problem? It's going to...

Can anybody recommend an effective and easy to use Spam filter? Starting to get usual viagra offers and other junk, where do these people get your email from?

Just picked up the new E-Class estate at the weekend, the rear tyres are showing a bit of wear, probably 3-4mm left, the fronts are much less worn. They are huge 245/45 17's both front and rear, would it be best to swap them front to back so that the better tyres are on the rear for grip and...

I am picking up my new car at the weekend. I have been busy getting insurance quotes and quite surpised that DirectLine who have always been the cheapest are now fairly far down the list. The best quote by far for both my E320CDi and my old Landrover SWB has been MoreThan. I know somebody...

Hello every one, I'm back!! :D I have had my C250TD for coming up for 3 years, the longest I have ever kept a car. For the past 6 months or so I have been seriously looking at a replacement, not because I don't like it but because I am concious of it's age (I know it's a bit snobby!!) I...

My Blaupunkt MP3 player is no longer playing so I am considering purchasing an ipod and using the Dension kit to link it in like a CD changer. Where is the best/cheapest place to get an ipod?

I have been given the task by a relative to buy them a TV/DVD combo for use primarily in their caravan. They want a small (10" or 12") TV with built in DVD player. The caravan is always hooked up to the mains so 240v is not a problem, dual voltage (12v) would be a bonus but not essential. Any...

I have a dilemma. I had my car on ebay, had a reserve of £8500 (a bit high I know) anyway it did not reach my reserve it only got to £7600, the highest bidder contacted me wanting to do a deal. We spoke several times on the phone and we eventually agreed on £7850. Still a good price for the...

Do any of you helpful lot know of any ways of searching for a new (used) car other than Autotrader or ebay? I have heard of companies that will do the searches for you and find exactly what you want, cheaper than you could find it yourself, sort of like a broker I guess? Any ideas?

Has anybody got any long term experience with a Landrover Freelander. I know the early petrol's had problems and the 2.0Di were supposed to be rough. The TD4 seems swift enough, very comfortable just wondered if there were any long term owners here?

I have just fitted a combined GPS/GSM roof aerial. It has two outputs, one for my sat-nav and another for mobile phone. It is a genuine part, was easy to fit although involved making a square hole in the roof :crazy: and looks great.
