For sale is my 05-2017 W213 E220d estate in Hyacinth Red Metallic with Silk Beige interior. Bought approved used in 2021 from Mercedes Perth when the first owner traded it back in. The car was a special order and has some mega rare options which weren’t selectable as standard from MBUK. I have...

Dropped my car off for annual service and MOT at the dealer today. About 3 miles from the destination the tyre pressure warning appeared for the NSF tyre. Stopped at a petrol and could hear hissing, clear puncture. Topped up the tyre from the air machine and managed to get to the dealer with...

Coming up to a year with my used S213 E220d and it needs to be booked in for a service. Plonked my details in the online tool and it’s about £500 for an oil and filter change. Had this when I tried to book the CLS in recently. The cost seems to have rocketed from about £280 a year or so ago...

With the recent surge in prices for newish used cars, new list prices are also going up significantly and discounts through the likes of DTD and other brokers aren't as good. Cheapest UK E class estate through a broker is now £39,000 vs about £29,000 12 moths ago - crazy increase. Lease prices...

Hi folks Still learning lots about my W213 estate which I bought three months ago. It’s the 220d model with the amazing new OM654 diesel. This is the first diesel car I’ve owned and was pleasantly surprised today going out on a cold morning that you get instant heat from the air vents from...

Nearly 10 years since I bought my CLS from a local MB main dealer so it's been a while since I purchased anything major from an MB showroom (service/parts aside). In the past month have made up for it with two family purchases. My wife actually needs a new car so it could be a trio if she can...

Hi folks, After a long saga I may be purchasing an approved used E220D tomorrow, it has been transported from a far away dealer to my local branch. More on this story if it goes ahead. Assuming the car checks out, I'm thinking a service plan might make sense as I think the 5 year service is...

Had my eye on an approved used car that's been for sale for about a month at a dealer that's around 4 hours from me. Should I, shouldn't I - eventually decided I should. Phoned up said dealer saying I would like to put a deposit down and would come up to do a test drive and if all ok I would...

For sale is my 57 plate black on black W219 Mercedes CLS350 CGI in excellent condition. I bought the car from a Mercedes main dealer at 4 years old with 40,000 miles. I have now owned the car for 9 years and the total mileage is now 94,000 miles. The car came with FMBSH and I have had it...

Been to a couple of MB dealerships today looking for a W222 S class of around 2017 vintage for my dad. Saw a few potential candidates that looked good. On checking when they were last taxed or MOTd it was apparent that several had sat unused since being returned from lease in March 2020. A year...

Hi folks Seen a W213 e220d I quite like the look of but the spec is quite oddball in that it is a 4matic. I checked this on VIN to ensure this wasn’t a listing error. The 4matic seems to sap 10mpg from the fuel consumption and on normal tyres presumably isn’t going to pull you out of anything...

Hi folks Seen an E220d I quite like the look of but can’t find a VIN from reg tool that still works. Anyone able to fetch the VIN or even better the data card? Description on autotrader doesn’t seem to reflect all options. Reg is SO18 XCA Many thanks!

Got a strange climate issue at the moment on my CLS where the drivers side is a few degrees warmer than the passenger side. 2 zone facelift style climate. I’ve had the cover off the temp sensor down near the steering wheel and there is nothing behind so assume it’s slipped down behind the dash-...

Had to manoeuvre my CLS on the drive to load up some kit to take my 2 year old on a trip today. Apparently when I started the car he said “nice!”. Nice sound presumably. Nice is currently reserved for a drink of hot semi skimmed before bed. So it must be good. Does sound good on startup I must...

Saw this in the options like when the CLS shooting brake first came out. cherry wood flooring- designed to look like the decking of a yacht as the boot floor. This is the first actual car I’ve seen for sale with it in though. £4000 allegedly! does look good. I just found a great car on Auto...

Really bizarre options or lack of options on configuring a W213 estate on the UK site so thought I’d see what was available in the fatherland. Results were super interesting. https://www.mercedes-benz.de/passengercars/configurator.html?group=all&subgroup=see-all&view=BODYTYPE Absolutely...

In 2012 I bought a 4 year old petrol CLS350 CGI from a main MB dealer which I still have today. It has been absolutely superb and needed very little in terms of non routine maintenance. I paid under £15k for the car which was 1 owner, 40000 on the clock, gorgeous multi spoke AMG wheels and all...

Hi folks. Second child on the way so the wife’s tiny car is going and need something bigger. What do the panel think of this? I know it’s old and EU5 diesel but will it do a few years reliable ish service? We never venture into cities with it. She acquires car park dents quite regularly...

Hi folks, Anyone know if a W211 towbar Will fit a W219? I know the CLS isn’t type approved for towing but apparently depending on your insurer it’s an acceptable modification for bike rack only purposes. Recently got into eMTBs which are great fun but heavy to lift onto the roof carrier...

Have bought a replacement heated mirror glass for my W219 CLS as the heating element had failed on the old one. Does the mirror housing need to come off to swap out the glass or can this be done in some other way? Are there any good how-to guides or videos out there? Thanks folks.
