    Addison Lee E- and S-Classes for sale.

    I would give it a miss definitely. Look at the interior, apart from the rear screens(and cheap to order dark burr walnut wood trim) everything else is basic, not even memories for the front seats. Ultra ugly bog standard steel wheels prone to rust, and most importantly it wasn't a car owned...

    Tyre pressure monitors - advice please!

    Thanks, I am not worried so much about replacement, I don't intend to keep the car for longer than 3 years, my concern is reliability. Guy I spoke to yesterday had Bmw 7 series and his sensors were playing up all the time displaying those nasty false messages on the screen. It has got to be...

    Tyre pressure monitors - advice please!

    If I understand it properly, the optional system tells you the pressure of each tyre at any given time whereras the standard option is only there to notify you of tyre pressure loss/puncture. I have that option on my car at the moment and I thought it would be nice to monitor each tyre's...

    Tyre pressure monitors - advice please!

    Don't know why bother, it just looked like another cheap toy :o Not really bothered with cost to fix since I'll keep the car for around 3 years so all under warranty. What would bother me though is to have to go to stealers once a month wasting my time. Cheers

    Tyre pressure monitors - advice please!

    Thanks, nice to hear that. How long have you had them for and have you had any hickups with them? There are quite a few posts on the net of people having minor trouble with them, I know they won't stop the car or leave you stranded but just the thought of visiting dealers all the time fixing...

    Tyre pressure monitors - advice please!

    Thanks Portzy, Don't really know the principle behind it but there are two different ones. First one is standard option and it just registers when tyre pressure loss occurs, that one I have on my present car. It has given me few innocent false alarms over the last 3 years but overall I...

    Tyre pressure monitors - advice please!

    Just ordered facelifted W221 with few options, one of which was the tyre pressure monitoring system. No particular reason behind it other than it sounded cool to have it and to be able to monitor your tyre pressure at the flick of a switch. Don't really know how reliable these new systems are...

    Just been "quoted" for B Service - pleasant surprise?

    lol :D "Funny thing" is that if you do a search for "Authorised Repair" in London you won't find any!!! The nearest one is in Chelmsford, Essex :( They charge 75 an hour which is not exactly worth the trip. The next best (or worst) alternative is Brabus of Kent in Rainham, they are more...

    Probably the worst place to get ur MB looked at under warranty

    sorry to say this mate but it's so clear even Frank Spencer wouldn't doubt it... they will surely deny it to the bone, it's up to you to take it as far as possible. friend of mine left his car for the service and other bits in MB courtyard and then went to nearby coffee/sandwich shop to wait...
