Please remove my account, I no longer have a Merc.

My GPS antenna and phone dock has a lighter type plug to supply the necessary volts to keep it running. This is all fine, but the moment I turn off the ignition, everything is lost as the cigar (cigarette) lighter is switched with the ignition. Re-boot time for the GPS can be very slow (up...

Is the practice of charging £58 or so for a main dealer to even look at the car now business as usual? That's sad if so. Almost as worrying as the description of the DC1103 training course on the MBUK web site which has the following amongst its objectives - To develop a "sell not...

A couple of years back the local dealership replaced the Electronic Ignition Switch in the dash next to the steering column as part of an attempt to resolve a "no start" problem. Would one of the side effects be that the spare key would stop working and need re-synchronising?? Thanks Dave

Yesterday my E320CDI wouldn't start after coming out of the bodyshop where it had been for a couple of weeks for a new set of front wings and other stuff under the corrosion warranty. MobiloLife came out re-charged the battery, cleared the faults, and all seemed well. Drove away, and used the...

Facelift model W210 E320 CDi. Driving down to Milton Keynes yesterday, when the ABS, BAS, and ESP warning lights and malfunction warnings popped up. The engine and gearbox went into limp home mode, and tiptronic gear display was blank. Stopped at some roadwork traffic lights on the A5...
