I've always used Warranty Direct - can't fault them. Bought a 3 yr warranty for my R class which started after the garage's 3 month warranty expired. Think it cost in the region of £1200 but within 6 months got that back as it needed inlet port motor & 2 inlet manifolds. Since then it's had...

Instead of putting your money into another 2nd hand car, a lottery at the best of times!, you know your car well & all seems good, why not invest the money in the car & get it repaired? Col

Will give them a go, thanks

You're right & I might get lucky! Knowing my luck tho........ Col

Before I go & get my wallet emptied thought I'd ask here - I'm after a detachable towbar for my 2008 E320Cdi estate, if anyone has one I'd be interested. TBH I realise there're not something you remove when you get rid of a car - last 4 cars all had towbars & I've never removed one lol Col

Think it was but garage didn't say anything - as they said, give them the bare amount of info & see what happens. Think they asked for pictures of the failed parts. If you thing Merc dealer going to be too forthcoming with facts I'd take it to a good Indy.

Had same happen on my R320Cdi - Needed 2 new inlet manifolds, shut off motor & some sort of modified pipe work. WD authorised job straight away & due to the mileage I had to make a 20% contribution to the cost of parts. WD will also pay for the initial inspection, £50 with the Indy I used...

Haven't ruled out stealers but doesn't seem to many @ a decent price. Not too bothered about mileage, up to 70,000, as I'll be adding over 30k a year so don't particularly want to pay a premium on low mileage one as it certainly won't be that when coming to sell it in 18mths/2 years. In no rush...

Thanks - will try both Col

Hi all looking to replace my R320CDI with E320CDI/E350CDI estate - anybody recommend any independent companies? Don't particularly want to go to Merc dealer as it'll never go back there for any servicing/repairs. Seen what looked like nice one on Internet @ a company in Canterbury but when...

Does anyone know where the aircon drain tube is on a 2006 R320 Cdi? Air con works great but after being parked up for 1/2hr in this heat I would have expected to see a small puddle of water under the car somewhere but not a sign. Don't want it to start smelling if not draining properly...

Always bought a Warranty Direct policy for my cars, can't afford new lol. Never had a problem & each time I've got more than what I've paid out back in repair costs. Had my 2006 R320CDi for just over 4 mths when swirl motor packed up. Got new motor, new inlet manifolds & modified piping all...

If there was that much profit there'd always be a dealer who'd undercut everyone else to get the sale. Think that maybe a bit of embellishment and, which I know is hard to believe, maybe a few sherbets drank lol Luxury goods always have larger mark-ups to take into account that fewer units are...

Gemini Service Centre, Slater Street, Liverpool. Runs parallet to Duke Street. Used them for years for the company cars & the 2 R Class & GL we have. Absolutely spot on & honest! Just had inlet port shut off motor & inlet manifolds replaced on the R Class & everything done as it should be...

Hiya Just read thru some of the replies & I think that the 300C is being unfairly treated lol! Had a W210 300TD & replaced it with 300C tourer. Had it 2 years covered just over 50k & apart from a rattle in front suspension it never missed a beat. I've laso never had a car where so many people...

Hi all Got a slight knock from rear airmatic shockabsorber - garage seems to think that can't buy top mount/bush on it's own, just wondering if anyone on here knew for definite. Thanks Col:)

On my R320CDi with standard halogen lights there's a little lever visible once cover removed. Col

Makes my screen take a washed out appearance apart from the area that's being snipped. Col

Headlights for France A bit late but just took covers off headlamps on my 56 R320CDi Sport which has standard halogen lights & found a little lever that moves a shutter in the lamp - I'm assuming that I don't need sticky deflectors after all! Col:)

Try Greenflag £90ish for 12mths Col
