    [SOLD] 2010/60 Mercedes E350CDI BlueEfficiency Sport Estate 265bhp (Silver)

    Hi folks, We are selling our E Class estate. The car is simply superb; we are only selling it as our eldest has gone off to University and I am finally being allowed to get a cabriolet ;-) Next week we will be cleaning up the car to take photos, but I thought I would post up to see if there...

    mobiletyres2u.co.uk Mobile Tyre fitting

    I thought it was worth sharing the review I've just written for Mobile Tyre Fitting High Wycombe & Watford | Mobile Tyres 2 U Ltd, with whom I was very impressed. I've always been wary of mobile tyre fitters (hell of any tyre fitters!), but these guys have won me over -- anyone in NW London or...

    Winter Tyres, Snowchains and Snowsocks -- overkill?

    We're going skiing twice this season, one of them in mid-February when the snow can be quite severe. Last year we went in a LandRover Discovery, which was on all terrain tyres (General Grabber AT, they have a snowflake on the side), and it was superb. The driving conditions were really tough...

    W212 Software Versions

    Hi folks, As part of buying my car, the Mercedes Garage agreed to upgrade all of the versions of firmware to the latest. I've taken pictures of the diagnostic menu in COMAND -- can someone confirm whether this is indeed the latest? Many thanks, -simon

    My experience with the 30 day exchange scheme...

    We bought a used E220 S212 recently with Audio 50 Navigation, but it turns out that you cannot do full postcode search on it and there is no way to upgrade it to do so (confirmed by Mercedes). This function is critical for is, so we decided to change the car. We have had the car for 26 days...

    Back to Mercedes Ownership :-)

    Well, after nearly two years of driving a Landrover Discovery 3 we're swapping back to Mercedes. I've loved the Disco, but the wife has decided that she wants something that's more stable on the motorway and more economical, so we've just cut a deal on a 2011 S212 :-). It's in Silver, on an 11...

    S-Class -- what a car

    So this week I returned temporarily to Mercedes...because a friend lent me their W220 S320. It's on a private plate so I'm not sure exactly what year it is, 80000 miles on the dial and the car is simply superb. Almost everything works exactly as it should. Only two minor faults - the SRS...

    Careful - my old car

    I wasn't sure where to put this, mods please move if there is a more appropriate section. A friend of mine gave me a call today saying that they'd seen my old car on Autotrader. I took a look and found it...and I'm quite amazed at some of the lies in the ad. For example: 1 Owner previous -...

    After over eight years with an MB, she finally went in part exchange today for this: Last of the Disco 3's, 3 years old with an extended Landrover warranty, drives like a dream. HSE spec with all the toys, capable of going "properly" offroad, and seven "proper" seats facing forward (I can...

    Mercedes W210 E320cdi seven seater - a real "forum car"!

    Well, it's time. Our E320cdi is now up for sale. Photos will be up by the beginning of next week, but I wanted to get the ad up now. If we don't sell before deal is done with new car, probably next weekend, the car will be part-exchanged. It would break my heart to see her end up in auction...

    E Class Hybrid - worth waiting for?

    This thread is for speculation, rumour and plausible potential facts! I'm ordering a new company car...and I just realised that MB are planning on releasing a hybrid version of the E class this year. With 109g/km emissions - very good for company car drivers! So: - When do we think it...

    New W212 E-Class - what options?

    After much deliberation and some changes, we're getting a new W212 E-Class as a company car (and saying a sad goodbye to the old W210 - look for it in the classified section soon, a much loved "forum car" with comand from Alfie and serviced by Ollie!). This post is to discuss what options we...

    Some git broke my mirror...

    We parked on the road for a short while yesterday, and some total unmentionable knocked off the passenger side mirror and drove away without leaving a card or anything. The mirror is electrically folding, adjustable and heated/dimming, with built in indicators. I've been piecing it back...

    My new COMAND from www.comand.co.uk

    After looking at all of the alternatives, we decided to keep the E320cdi. There just aren't any decent alternatives for a quality 7-seater. The best we could find was...erm...a newer E class, and when they do appear with 7 seats they tend to either vanish very quickly or cost an arm and a leg...

    Citroen?

    Assuming a need for a 7-seater, and the E-class is not an option because the emissions are far too high ...what do people think of the Citroen Grand C4 Picasso? Citroën UK - The New C4 Picasso I had one as a hire car a while back, and I was very impressed with the build quality (and I'm...
