I was told by a MB main dealer that cars produced after 2008 no longer have service books issued and that it is all done on computer records now, is this true? has anybody been issued a service book on a new car? If this is the case then it seems MB are trying to keep cars within the main...

Popped into local dealers today to see what they could sell me. Looking for a used C class estate at around the 25k mark. To cut a long story short the guy just did not want to make a deal at all offered 15% less than glasses on my trade in. Would not budge on sticker price and all at a...

Help me out guys, I have been tasked by the missus to come up with a few suggestions for a family holiday at the start of June. We usually go to posh places in Dubai and Mexico etc but while these places are plush they do not offer any entertainment for a 4 yr old past 6pm at night. This...

Our circumstances may be about to change so we are thinking about swapping our SLK 350 for something a bit more practical. As the new model is imminent which would be the best time to swap? I was always under the impression that Convertible sports cars sell best at the first flush of spring...

I have a 55 W203 Avantgarde and my wife has a 2009 SLK 350 - why is my interior quality so much better than hers? everything from the feel of the plastics to the fuel filler mechanism is inferior in the SLK - I have also recently been in both a Boxster and a TT and they put the SLK to shame...

Somewhere warm and suitable for a 3 yr old? We are thinking of Dubai or Egypt at the moment. We have been to Dubai for last 2 Years and had a great time but evenings are usually just a big dinner at about 8oclock and a few drinks which is fine when the little one is asleep in his buggy but i...

The missus has just badly kerbed front and rear of our SLK 350. she hit the kerb at about 20mph avoiding some nutter coming the over way. The alloys are the 12 spoke 18" does anyone have any idea of cost and a decent place to take the car to get it done? we live a stones throw from MB World...

Any idea how much this should cost for the 2 front wheels? I have the drilled disks from the sport pack. also I am curious as to why the brake wear sensor has not gone off yet - does my model have them? - my brakes are very poor at the moment and the disk appears very worn with a deep ridge...

My wife has decided on a used Mercedes and paid a deposit to the dealership. but has now been refused finance by the underwriters (we already have another on finance with MB and my wifes company has been running for slightly less than a year) What are our options? the dealership has found...

My 55 W203 comand screen is horribly scuffed as though the last owner cleaned it with something he should not have. is there any way to get it back to a decent state? I have an avantgarde an the interior is lovely but this ruins it for me.

I have been a bit scatterbrained this week and accidently drifted past my overdraft by £50 (I was using the wrong bank card) As a loyal Lloyds customer for 27 years (never missed a payment on a loan and never gone overdrawn before) I would have thought that as it was only 2 days that they would...

Hi My wife is wanting to trade her 55 reg C220 for a new E class Cabrio but we are undecided as to the engine choice and do not want to end up with something we cannot move on easily when she gets bored again :) I am unsure about getting a diesel open top car, to me it just seems wrong...

We are moving down south in a few weeks and are desperately hunting for a rental house in the Hampshire area, specifically around Fleet, Hook, Basingstoke area - does anyone live around this area? can you give us a quick guide to the character of these towns? places to avoid etc. Thanks all

I use BT broadband through vodafone at home and for the past 2 years I have had a rock solid and reliable 6mb connection. I use a netgear dg834pn wireless router and this has proved very reliable too. However, in the last month the connection speed has been awful, often at less than dial up...

I am sure there must be many contract workers on this forum so I thought I would pick your brains if I may. My wife works as an IT consultant and is considering a job offer she has had this week. The pay is substantially (double) more than what she is on at the moment but as she has never...

Hi Everybody Me the missus and the baby (20 months) are off to Dubai in April but are unsure about where to stay as we have never been before, anyone been? where did you stay? We are aware of the incredibly high prices of drinks and meals so are trying for a half board option to get the costs...

Had a little bump with my Merc today - I live in a private road and someone had parked their car illegally (We have an agreement that cars cannot park in the very tight shared road/pavement area in the cul-de-sac, unless loading/unloading) I saw the car there and gingerly edged my car out of my...

Hi all, Got our C220cdi 5 weeks ago and just noticed the service indicator stating that a B service will be required in 1300miles; which at our current mileage rate will be about 3 weeks. Now we got the car from Mercedes main dealer with all the warranty and such, I have read somewhere that the...

Does anybody else notice the almost overwhelming number of C classes driven by females? Since we got our C class (for the Wife!) I have noticed a lot more of them on the road - this always happens when you get a new car but I did not expect such a large percentage to be female drivers. What is...
