Any news yet if that 400d is going to find it’s way into a C Class James? Or any further info on the 300de that you can share, cost, performance etc ?

No mention of the EQ Power models James, C400 and C400d that have been mooted. Any info at all?

Hold function, assuming you use it. Hot brakes, pads gripping hot discs in hold mode, imprint left, brake judder. Last two vehicles same issue, use Hold a lot and is the common denominator.

Not quite correct, I've tried. Smaller contact patch even less grip. Crabbing worse. The irony is when my dealer checked it, the car came back to me with pressures 5psi under the manufacturer recommendations as an attempt to make it better. Didn't work either.....

Not sure if this link works but clock the latest video on here. Also looks like a successful rejection. http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/news/miscellaneous/2017-01/mercedes-dealer-refuses-to-accept-ruling-of-motor-ombudsman-over-glc-crabbing-issue/

I have a C43, best advice is for you to have it on your own and test it, my view is totally the same as John-Paul's. You need to satisfy yourself you can live with it. I know you were in the car but I suspect the sales person was driving round the problem - trust me, it does it every time...

Actual repair? Have they said what that entails as there are several members that will be exceptionally interested in that!

Harsh What about those of us that could afford one, but opted for the 43 over the 63, or could even afford a 458...... 43 is my daily 60 mile commute, and perfectly competent at it too. Do wonder what the 63 boys are so worried about, it's sits higher up the range....... yeah and?

It's only been referenced on the C to me, not personally seen anything on E class at all in respect of this complaint.

My dealer certainly acknowledges it's all 43's and was the rationale for confirming it's a characteristic. They weren't afraid to confirm nigh on all owners have raised it and their own demonstrators react the same way. Yes, agree, you have a bit of time to decide.

My best advice would be for you to suggest the salesman absolutely shows you what he defines as "minor" and then take a view at that point. It isn't minor at all, my C43, in terms of this issue is much more pronounced than any of the videos posted - again the videos do not portray this as a...

You'll get a better rate than that, definitely on a new one, mine was £44500, 2.5k down and £617 monthly x 48.

It's not knickers in twist, and with the greatest respect to all it needs to be experienced in this vehicle to believe it. My C43 does this at varying degrees of steering angle just like yours.

Believe me, yes it's the Ackermann effect which can affect all cars in certain ways - however this is seriously exaggerated by being 4wd. Those suggesting stiffer tyre walls and temperature are correct also. However, this particular model does this in 30 degree heat on very warm tyres also -...

Second that on Super Unleaded, believe it says 96 Ron inside the filler cap - with a note in the handbook regarding lower performance if normal unleaded is used. DMS quoted me £1000 + VAT for their 436bhp mod on the C43.

Only just seen this. Currently on my second W205. Burmester wants to sound fantastic, problem is once again I'm having to refer back to dealer because of unacceptable resonance from the system.

No launch control, that's about all that's missing though. I'll be dead keen to hear of your results and experience. Particularly how a map integrates with the dynamic select functions and 9 speed gearbox. Thanks

Do you happen to know what's involved, is it simply a remap or is anything else involved, in addition to approximate cost?

Hi Can anyone confirm if remote online services are available on an A200d with Garmin? I have a C43 of which this all works fine, I've activated the A200 online but it doesn't seem to activate the car when connected. On my C43 there is a small logo on the screen to show it has synced. Nothing...

I suspect the same but he didn't specifically say it. Have to say it's fairly bad, and somewhat embarrassing in public, as the associated noise attracts attention I've had 4wd's before, this is the worst.
