I have got a fault come up on my car which shows a suspension fault and says to not drive the vehicle over 50 mph. Anyone any ideas? I haven’t spoken to the dealership yet. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence but the fault first happened when I was reversing off my drive on the coldest morning...

Has anyone had the recall work done relating to a possible misrouting of the transmission wiring harness? My car went in last week and after the dealership having the car for 3 days they seemed unable to order the correct parts to do the rectification work. It is booked in again for next week...

There is a face lifted E53 due out later this year: I think it looks really good, although I’m slightly annoyed that I have have only had mine for just over a year and it is being replaced already. The car in the video is in a new colour, graphite grey. I’m not normally a fan of greys but it...

I have had my E53 coupe for nearly a year now and while it has been a great car, it has developed a number of faults. Every time I set off in the dark I get a warning message saying that Adaptive High Beam Assist is unavailable. The car will not switch to main beam although the fault clears...

I have got a 4 month old E53 Coupe which has developed an annoying rattle from the roof. It is worse on poor road surfaces and does it every time I go over a ridge or a bump. I have discovered that if the sunshade is open it goes away and then as soon as it is closed it comes back again. Has...

There is a very positive review of the E53 Coupe on the evo website: Mercedes-AMG E53 4Matic+ Coupe review – the mild-hybrid AMG coupe that’s in a class of its own I may be a bit biased as having now had mine for about 6 weeks I would completely agree with their review. It is fantastic car and...

I have noticed in my E53 coupe that the Live Traffic does not always work. It’s strange but seems to be mainly in the evening when I leave work. Has anyone else had this issue?

After a few years away in a BMW 640 and an awful year with a Lexus LC500, (stunning looks but appalling technology that is very basic and doesn’t work), I collected a new E53 coupe a few days ago. First impressions are what an amazing car. The widescreen cockpit and ambient lighting are better...

I am about to place an order for an E53 Coupe which has a December build slot and was due for delivery before the end of the year. However, the dealer has now advised me that the car has been randomly selected by Mercedes for WLTP testing at the factory. This will cause a delay of at least 4 to...

I was passing my local dealer and saw that they had a facelift E Class coupe. From the photos I have seen I was expecting something really special but actually seeing one I was a bit underwhelmed. It looks a bit slab sided and very ordinary. The old shape is a much nicer looking car in my...

I am hoping to place an order for a C63 coupe very soon but I am wondering if anyone can answer this question. I have noticed that some cars have a button for the seat belt extender on the lower right hand side of the centre console and some do not have it. Does anyone know why this is? Is...

As I have written previously after my recent purchase of an R231 SL500, I decided that it was not the car for me and so I have defected to BMW and now have a 640d M Sport Coupe. Unfortunately, I can only describe the build quality of the SL as appalling. I have never owned a car with so many...

I am sorry to say that I have really struggled with the SL500. I just haven't been able to bond with it. Not sure exactly why, I think it is a number of reasons. I struggle to enjoy driving with the roof down. Although it isn't too windy, it is very noisy, especially at speed. Also, in traffic...

After a 4 month wait, I picked the car up on Saturday and I am very happy with it. I think it looks fabulous in silver. It has taken me longer than I thought to get used to all the features on the car. I had to resort to reading the manual in the end! Performance is effortless and it is...

I have been thinking about getting one of these for a while now and so borrowed this car last weekend. It is a fantastic car and I think this colour really suits it as well. I know there are a couple of members on here who have a R231 and I can concur with everything that has been said about...

One 19" AMG seven double spoke alloy wheel. No tyre. Approximately two years old. Will fit C207/A207. Good condition but with some slight rim damage. Any offers considered.

Has anyone got the ambient lighting option on their SL? Is it a worthwhile option and can you actually see it at night? I've had it on another car in the past and it was so dim you wouldn't even know it was there. A picture of it would be good if possible :)

I know there are a few people on here who have orders outstanding, me included! Has anyone got a delivery date yet? Mine is due in September, barring any further parts/paint/comand issues. Haven't seen anyone mention these recently so hopefully they have been all been resolved now. I can't...

Just finalising the spec for my E350 coupe order and am wondering whether to go for Distronic. I hadn't really thought about it before and it was only when I saw two coupes next to each other in the showroom and noticed the difference on the front star that got me thinking about it. I believe...

I was sent a brochure this morning about Edition 125 pricing for the C and E Class and SLK. This indicates that Comand Online will be available on the E Class at a greatly reduced cost over the current system. It will be £785 on the coupe (without a cd changer) and £1,035 on the saloon and...
