Best Sat Nav I have used a Road Angel 7000 (with fixed and mobile camera locations) built in for the last few months. However, I have researched sat navs in a lot of detail and I found there is a sat nav out there that is head and shoulders over all of the main High St models.... The machine...

Bmw 330d Agree with nearly all the threads on this one.. I have had a 330D (02 model) for around 3 years(39k miles at present) I have had Mercs and BM's for years (more than I care to remember) My humble opinion is that the BMW330D is without a doubt the best car I have ever owned . No...

Glad to see you have in the main identified the source of the leak. Have a look at the 'water drain rubber plug' in the fuel filler recess behind the flap. My rubber grommet fastened to a piece of rubber drain tubing had completely rotted away... Rainwater was running into the boot underneath...

Very interesing. I also loved driving my previous E series diesel... I could not however handle the extensive rust issues and tardy service from MB dealerships... Sold the beast in June and bought a LEXUS. Best deal I have ever done.. If you really like quality cars try a LEXUS. Could...

So sorry to hear of your problems. Very similar to my own.. Go and have a look at Lexus.. You will be in for a very nice surprise... Very satisfied with my new Lexus and also my wife's BMW330D.. No way on earth would we go back to Merc. Still think this is the best forum on the net.

Body rust in spring area. Thanks for posting the pictures. I have experienced similar rust problems on my last 2 mercs . A mint 300TD (1998) and an older W124 series.... I have defected now over to Lexus and it appears at this stage as though it is the best decision I have ever made...

Defector to Lexus Thanks VIPS, Thanks SEAMSTER for your good wishes with the Lexus. Do yourselves a favour... Keep your eye on those drain tubes near your fuel filler caps.. Any signs of rubber rot.. change the tube.. I am not the first to have boot full of water and fuel from this point...

Hi Everyone. Whilst I have not posted many threads with the club, I have watched it most days (retired) and I would like to thank all the members who have helped me with technical information when I have asked for it.. A great club, great forums and good people. I am now 73 and probably been...

Heard many times that 'Wonder Wheels' is responsible for the rusting of wheel bolts. I have quite a few friends who have kicked it into touch. Personally I will not touch the stuff o my alloys !

I understand from a Merc taxi driver in Stratford that there is a Mercedes Service Garage called Geoff Kirk Mercedes,Court Farm. Temple Grafton nr. Bidford on Avon. Has anyone in the area used these people ?

Hi Mercman Thanks for thread re Tyres. On the E series I have ,(tyresize) 215 55 16W I paid the fitter £127.49 each whichinclude everything , even taking the old tyresaway. This compares with £144.62 from Black Circle.... What I did not know however is that Event from their depots in...

Hi Ian No problem with wheel balancing with Event Mobile Tyres. Both mine balance perectly . The carry a wheel balancing machine on their vans almost the same as the machines used in the tyre depots. What do you think of their prices? I could not beat them.

2 new tyres urgently required for my 300TD .. MOT coming up. I checked out about a dozen or so tyre companies up here in the Midlands before coming across the following. www.event-tyres.co.uk I could not believe their prices which also included fitting at home...

E300TD Agree with all the comments made about the E300TD. Super car , one of the best vehicles I have had. One little point , take a careful look at the lock area on the boot if you buy a car not an estate. Some models blister and rust round the lock resulting in quite a big job which...

In think the TURBO is the answer here . Makes all the difference when towing. With regards to German caravans, I am completely sold and would neve entertain a British made van. We have been to Tabbert in Germany twice with the Tabbert Owners club. You have to see the place to believe it. They...

Towing with a 300E In my opinion best tow car ever. We have a 1997/8 300TD and tow a 17ft Tabbert (single axle). Visited the South of France. Lake Garda. Venice. Berlin. etc. Every year we go to the proper Caravan Show (No. not the NEC) in Dusseldorf. Agree with the comment 'change the ATF '...

E series quality issues. Hi everyone and in particular Hi to John(Glojo) nice to here from you... What a can of worms ? Here in Stratford we have quite a few Taxis in 'silver' All 300TD's (210). I have personally seen3 of them and seen clearly the instrument panel reading OVER 320,000 miles...

Auto Express quality survey. Hi John, Nice to chat again. I replied earlier but don't think it got through. Yes. What would happen if we ticked all the boxes ? Interesting one. My fear is giving out all the personal info etc like address. telephone no. E Mail no. etc. When I was working...

Dear Blue Lightning. Been watching your post re Draytons of Walsall with interest and I can comment that I have no idea about this dealership. I can however recommend Drayton of Wolverhampton. They are the largest dealership in the Drayton Group and their workshops and staff are excellent...
