Evening all, despite searching both on here and the in-car manual I can’t quite figure out two things on my C Class 69 plate estate. Firstly what the contactless feature actually exists to do, and secondly how to turn it off - just putting my phone in the cup holders makes the phone think it is...

Rather than trade in like I normally do after a couple of years, I’m looking at changing the alloys on my GLC as I’ve never really liked the boring standard fit ones. Is there a recommended seller on here that people would recommend? Also the ones I don’t like are pristine so would obviously...

Despite having washed my own car for years, I've never noticed the hard black specks that when you attempt to remove them, smear, go a dark brown and then are horrifically stubborn to remove. Are they tar deposits and if so what is the best method of removing them without taking off a layer of...

Despite being my 6th MB it's only the third time I've dealt with a dealership when purchasing and the experience I've had over the last ten days has been an epiphany by comparison to anything else I've ever bought. No hard sell, no pushed add ons, no spiel just a professional and more...

I took out gap insurance on my previous vehicle but despite being meticulous with paperwork normally, I can't find anything in relation to it. Is there a way I can find out who the policy was with?

To me, anyway. My next ride shall be a c250 CDI AMG Sport plus. Too big a title for me that. I've already asked for the AMG badge on the rear to be removed (it's the only badge on there actually). Anyone on here got one? Thoughts?

Had a coolant leak last year on my e250 repaired under warranty. Less than 6 months later and 'coolant low' warning comes on. Spoke to local MB dealership who tried to say you can't have warranty on a warranty, in other words whilst the work may be carried out FOC under warranty, once that...

Long title but simple question. Weighing up trading in my E for a gruntier C, not to mention to make that long awaited move from a 4 pot to a beautiful V6. Would love to hear from anyone that's had good experience of both in order to make a more informed decision

Does anyone please have a recommendation as to where best to source this part please? Also, being very novice in the car diy area, how easy/difficult is such a part to self-fit? Thanks!

Has anyone ever done this? I'm a year into a 4 year and have 'the itch'. It doesn't need scratching for a good while yet but just thinking about my options

I've read a couple of threads that make mention of such warranties but my used approved warranty is almost done and as you'd expect, MB have contacted me with my options. No guess as to cost yet but I thought I'd canvass opinion - a 4 year old e coupe that's covered 40k and will do no more than...

I've got to be honest and say I've learnt a lot more on perusing these forums about general useful stuff than cars however I've a little story to tell in case it rings any bells to anyone. A few weeks ago I took the wife to buy a 2nd hand car as hers was on the way out and she needs it for uni...

Having searched the forums to no avail, does anyone have any advice on how to defrost the drop-down windows on an e250 without having to resort to oodles of chemicals? What I don't want to do is end up on a situation where the deicer hasn't yet worked and i go to open the door and bingo, the...

Thoughts please? Can anyone think of any negatives to allowing MB to send a technician to me to fit a windscreen instead of it being done inside a garage workshop?

Before I take it in under warranty does anyone have a simple solution as to why the rear window no longer slides across after the door is closed (I'm referring to the mechanism of the windows on cars with no door frame, where the windows drop a cm or 2 on opening - the rear ones also slide away...

I'm currently awaiting a callback from the "service manager" but I've a few issues with the approved used I recently bought and am wondering if anyone on here has dealt with similar in the past. To set the scene, the car has just had its injectors replaced as part of a recall (that this wasn't...

Further to my recent thread, have any E coupe owners on here had their injectors replaced? If so, did you notice increased fuel economy? Long journeys are getting me approximately 10mpg below the book, but short journeys I'm lucky to be halfway to the official urban figures (usually mid to high...

I'm puzzled. Bought my approved used mb from Birmingham a few weeks ago. Engine light comes on within a few hundred miles. Book it in under the extended warranty with MB Shrewsbury who call me today to tell me it hasn't had the injectors replaced under the e class recall of some time ago. What...

After buying my c220 I swore I'd keep it a minimum of 3 years. I crumbled after falling in love with a E250 coupe at MB Birmingham. Wonder how long this one will last...

Had issues for a while with the rear light cluster on my C220, to the point where the whole thing ended kaput. Investigated and noted that one of the wires connecting the plastic plug to the cluster had frazzled a little. Took to MB who wanted 96 pounds just to investigate what was up, without...
