We presently own a 2017 Skoda Yeti 1.2 petrol with 35K on the clock. We also have a 2012 C207 E Coupe 250cdi with 77k on the clock. Our predicament is that car breakdown cover will be difficult on the E coupe when travelling in Europe after I think it was 12 or 13 years (unless serviced at a...

Im thinking of reluctantly selling my beloved E Coupe 250cdi. We now only need one car. March 2012. White with red leather interior. All the good extras plus a camera for reading speed signs integrated MB option. 75000 miles. Fully serviced by MB franchise and lately MB specialist known to...

Does anyone know how to turn off the front passenger airbag on an Ecoupe 2012? I've read the manual but can't find a reference to this. The front passenger airbag off light goes out after a few seconds of starting the car. I did note that mb make reference to placing a non-isofix car seat and...

My C 207 uses a Varta 80ah AGM battery. Found it on Ebay. After charging right up the present battery settles at 12.41v. I guess this means it's on its way out after 9 years and 73k miles? Looking at the handbook ( that doesn't even list the battery spec) it states that after installing new...

A few days ago I dived into the Thames at Abingdon to save a drowning woman. I had stripped off to my shorts. When I swam back to the bankside I found my Mercedes key fob was still in my shorts' pocket. I thought I had emptied everything out of the pockets. Amazingly the key still opened the...

New rear tyres looming for my c207, e coupe. These are 255x35xR18. Present ones are Micheln Pilot Sports and have covered 32000miles. I have been looking at alternative brands but cannot really find an alternative that offers good mpg/wear/performance. Michelin are pricey at £150 each but.....

I need to replace my wiper blades on my 2012 E Coupe 250cdi (C207). The present ones are very good but I cannot locate the make of them. I attach a couple of photos of the fitting on the blade. Any idea?

My E Class 250 Coupe is just over 7 years old. Have had one wheel refurbished by diamond cutting. Have lived with the finish on 2 of the wheels peeling away due to really poor quality MB alloys. MB admitted quality no good and 'generously' offered me 50% discount on new wheels a few years ago...

Car is a e coupe 250cdi 2012. 63000miles. Ì am presently in Spain. This afternoon started car and it wanted to hold on to 5th gear auto and wouldn't change up. Steering wheel paddles not changing gear up either. Could this indicate a regeneration? I've never noticed one before. After this I...

Had a call from my dealer 'kindly offering my car the diesel engine emissions fix. Having seen the adverse effects on many VW group vehicles following their 'fix' , I have declined the MB fix. Has anyone on the forum accepted the MB fix and what, if any, effects has this had?

2012 Car. Keeping dealer servicing for Mobilo cover (particularly abroad). To maintain Mobilo, car needs to have dealer service but does the brake fluid change every other year need to be carried out by dealer rather than an MB Indie?

My multimeter has started playing up despite replacing batteries etc. It is pretty ancient. So I'm looking to purchase another. Certainly need 12v, plus small battery checking and very occasional 240v; continuity bleep also. Any recommendations for a simple unit?

My car's front nearside tyre has been losing 1psa every 4 days. Tool it to my tyre dealer who showed me that the tyre was well worn on the very edge of the inside of the tyre. The rest of the tyre shows 5.5mm tread. Tyre guys said either a bush needs replacing or alignment out. The offside tyre...

Car 6 years old and for some time the AMG alloys have looked worse and worse with bubbling of lacquer etc. I am thinking of having them refurbished and going for a matching alloy silver colour and powder coating rather than diamond cutting. Is this a good idea? Powder coating should be much...

E class coupe wheels. Alloys all bubbling up. Terrible MB quality. Diamond cut I believe. Any recommended wheel refurbishers close to me on Norfolk/Suffolk border?

We have a Skoda Yeti 2 litre CR tdi 4x4. I noted on the Skoda website that the dpf does not require any higher speed/high revs runs in order to keep the dpf clear. Indeed Skoda's newer diesel cars (last 2 years - Common Rail engines rather than PD engines) only require a speed of ' >23mph...

Having sold my 2008 C220cdi, I have 6 unopened litres of quality Millers XF3 Synthetic Longlife 3 engine oil available. This is to MB 229.31. If anyone lives close to the Norfolk/Suffolk border or as I often travel from there to Wiltshire, delivery/collection can be arranged. Make me an offer?

Well, I have now taken delivery of my new E250 coupe. It has only got 100 miles on the clock and the reset computer is showing 44mpg. This is about what my C Class Estate showed and allowing for that car's 5% optimistic computer, it does not appear to me that the E coupe is anywhere near...

My present Kew Hobby pressure washer is giving up the ghost as it is 15-20 years old. Can anyone recommend a replacement make/model that has a reasonable pressure as some washers barely get the dirt off a car?
