Just picked mine up from the local dealer after servicing to be told the cord had snapped - seemed fine last night when the roof went up, but hey-ho. Dealer obviously knows about this as they went straight into the "not a recall, so not our problem" mode, so my response, tech bulletin number...

MB have a direct channel to lease and large fleet buyers, and have done for many years. This hasn't stopped with the new regime. Not all lease companies met MB criteria tho, and those that didn't would source through the dealer network.

My son transports vehicles for Copart (and others) as part of his business - vehicles like yours going into them are treated with exactly the same care as a new vehicle he'd deliver to a customer. Photos, damage sheet, etc. When the salvage vehicles go out to breakers.... well, that's a...

There is much spin from different manufacturers as to autonomous driving - and BlueCruise is still classified as SAE level 2, which is the same as the systems in my E400. The difference is in the driver monitoring - mine requires hands on the wheel to indicate that I'm ready to intervene if...

Wicked Game - Chris Isaak It's the guitar tone that gets me... been trying to get it for about 3 months, close but not quite...

RIP KB - a truly nice guy. My lad remembers him as one of the best guys in the Goodwood FoS paddock and KB spent time with a number of the marshals who were fans like him. He even stopped for me to take some decent shots of him in the Hoonigan when the boy was trying to get him out onto the...

My kids think I'm too old to drive my cabrio, and are very embarrassed when I'm playing The Prodigy or the latest scandi metal with the roof down... but I'll put that down to jealousy :) Had a nice chat in the car park with a young lad and his passenger in the car park. I guess most would write...

I had to bite my tongue at the Postman Pat comment... Dad had Parkinsons, and had to be evaluated for fitness to drive every year. It was sad when he had to give up his licence but he knew it was the right thing to do. if you watched the recent documentary with Paxman, you'll see he is driven...

Both of my kids were put under a lot of pressure to go to Uni when at school... Laddo went to college a did motorsport Engineering. He then went to do an apprenticeship with VAG whilst scrutineering and marshalling. After a number of years in the workshop he's now decided to work for himself...

We also went to the Sky Lagoon, which was a far better experience compared to the Blue Lagoon...

The late Mrs E was in travel and dealt with this all the time: As above, compensation for cancellation is set at various levels The airline is responsible for providing alternative onward travel, making provision for accommodation and food, etc If they don't you can claim back reasonable...

I have the same issue with mine - the aerial amplifier behind the dash seems to have failed. The aerials for the central locking and radio are in the windscreen. Does your radio work>

Hi - been a long time since I've been on here. Lots of stuff has gone on and so would like to share news on the new addition shortly to join, and get get a little bit of advice too. I put a deposit down on a lovely Designo White A238 E400 yesterday Cabrio. It will replace a much loved CLK320...

My lad had (until recently) a tricked-out Octavia vRS in yellow (black roof and mirrors) - looked the business, and the paint was OK if you looked after it. I like little sports cars in yellow.

Evening all - a long time since I've been on here, but now back into MB ownership. Wifey has a nice 05 A209 CLK320 - apart from where she has whacked the front n/s corner of the bumper and broken it. I've looked at the usual places (Mercman, Dronsfield, etc) but had no luck in tracking a...

Laddo has equipped the bulk of his toolbox with Halfords Pro tools. I'm pretty sure some on here recommended this, with any breakages / wearing being replaced by Snap-On bod. So far, after nearly a year of daily apprentice abuse, they all look as good as new.

On call - client managed to ruin yesterday's day with my daughter by escalating an issue that was down to them deleting files on their live system. This morning's email trail is full of "it appears...", "somehow", etc, whilst not a single acknowledgement of their ****-up. Actually had one email...
