HI all. I'm looking at buying an older Merc and when I find one I'm interested in I'd like to know what it needs for the current age/mileage. Are dealerships generally ok for people like me to call them and ask the history and needs of a certain car? Would they help me? If not, where would I go?

Hi everyone. I’m looking at the diesel W221 S Class, from 2006. I understand the auto air suspension is standard? Is anything else cool standard on these cars? In a previous thread I’d learned to look for engine oil leaks and try all the equipment to see if it works. Is there anything else...

I'm considering a used purchase and I’m worried that the servicing detail may not be genuine - for example of the service indicator has been reset etc. What kind of reception would a dealer give me if I called them asking to see if servicing has been kept up etc?

Hi all - I'm considering a W221 S-class (made 2006-2013), petrol or diesel I'm not bothered. What do I need to look out for when buying a car like this please?

Hi all - I've broken the clear plastic repeater cover on my near side mirror. How do I fix it please?? It's a C250 2015 W205

Hi all I need to get my W205 C Class booked in for its first service in early September (I have it on a 2 year lease). Do I need to get it done at a main dealer or can I go to a nearby independent specialist to have it done?

Car is C250 AMG Line Premium Plus Diesel. When I turn the engine off I notice a faint mechanical hum. Does anyone know what this is? I suspect that it could be an electric pump which circulates engine oil in order that the turbo oil doesn't cook. But does anyone know for sure? Link to...

Hi all - I came to use the rear middle seatbelt today for the very first time as I had 4 passengers plus me. However strangely we couldn't work out how to work the seatbelt!! (It's a 65 plate C250 W205). It seems that the fastner is BELOW the plastic 'button' which is set into the belt...

Hi all - I read the manual and I see that COMAND Online supports multichannel (5.1) audio. However, if I want to test it, what kind of individual track to I need to use? For example; I know that MP3 files don't support multichannel audio - what format should I look for?

Hi all - I just can't find a definitive answer as how to get speed cameras (or other POI's for that matter) on my COMAND ONLINE Satnav system. Does anyone know how?? W205 C Class

Very interesting. It's inside the fuel flap on mine.

Hi - the Mercedes Me app has figures relating to fuel economy and range that mean nothing to me. There is no obvious way of changing km to miles and litres to mpg. Does anyone know if this is possible??

We all know this is illegal, right? A lenient officer might only give a VDRS but it's possible to get up to £1,000 fine and the plate taken off you. On the websites where you order plates, do they make it plainly obvious that anything 'non-standard' is illegal before you press the order button?

I saw a thread in here discussing PCP, my experience when I went to MB Carlisle they couldn't touch a lease deal I was looking ar but what was surprising was that no room for negotiation, it was either take it or leave it. So I leased. I went with this deal...

I'm really struggling to find reliable info. I think there are two versions - Audio 20 and COMAND ...? Well even the PDF manual on the memory card in the car doesn't seem to be for the version I have. So you can understand my confusion. So - how do I update it, add speed cameras, POI's...

Hi all - is there a feature where you can just walk away from the car with the key in your pocket and it'll lock itself? Or did I dream that?? :)

Has anyone else noticed that although the majority of the ambient lighting colour and brightness is changeable, some isn't? Such as the amber line that surrounds the front seat position switches? When ALL amber is selected it all matches but I like the blue which looks odd against the bits...

Hi all - I was in Edinburgh this weekend for a lads break. Unfortunately the England v Australia rugby was on (not a fan) and every time Australia scored the Scots in the pub cheered and chanted "England's going home". I felt embarrassed for them for this behaviour. Why??

The dealer has now activated the system, I've had an email, and on the Portal I can activate services. However all the services say is "Activating...". Do I need to connect the car to my iPhone's personal hotspot and do anything?
