Hi all, Having decided to update my owned from new 2014 CLS 350 before I enter into retirement in a year or two I have to say I was quite surprised to be informed of the “new” MB buying process. As I want a “specific” colour combo I’m advised the car has to be a back order and if it throw a...

Hi yes - the car was taken back in and further diagnostics identified the other pump was faulty. The Garage didn't charge me for rectifying so whilst i have a a full “set” of pumps I only paid the initial cost. Great service in the end And car har run fine since I last posted.

Thanks all, for the responses, each encouraging. The Garage I use is a well known, reputable MB specialist and have STAR etc…….I am however alligned with the frustration that the problem persists having been “solved” a couple of months ago. The car is back in on Monday, beyond that it goes to a...

Thanks, The MB specialist I use is a very highly recommended one who has serviced the car each year since 3years old. For me I have £1300 in the bank if they have incorrectly diagnosed. What I don't get is the reader should be able to identify a sensor fail as it does on all of my other...

Hi all, Long time since I posted here, my car was on the CLS register when I bought it new back in 2014 and 8 years 45k later I am still happy with it though it has developed a persistent problem which I was hoping someone in may have experienced and resolved..... Initially after a full power...

Worth the wait then eh!! Looking good.... ATB:thumb:

Halfords do and its about £30 for a pair (ish) how much were you hoping to save :cool: ATB

I trust it was worth the wait? 7 MONTHs odd....I need a bottle of your patience buddy...:D Enjoy the car and dont forget to post some piccies:cool: ATB

Hi, There are two issues here, 1) The general strength of DAB signal in your area. 2) The quality of reception in your car. Now if you can, test for 1 above, MB simply cant be responsible for this and there are locations "out in the sticks" where signal strength is poor....tough..:) 2) - is...

I have a 350 CLS, (oil burner, as its sometimes called)....absolutely love the model, my second CLS btw. Personally I really wouldn't be too bothered petrol or diesel but there seem to be more of the latter around.....so easier to find. The torquey pull of the current diesel CLS's is...

Hi, After our latest burglary, over a year ago now, during which my CLS was driven off we installed as Rhino from barriers direct. They are sunk almost a metre into the ground so pretty immovable once installed. Choose the one thats the slighly larger diameter and longer, (they do a budget...

Loads of good advice above, go over to detailing world forum as good stuff over there also. Watch the weather and DONT wash or polish in the sunshine, all of your good work will be a complete waste of time....if you have to then focus solely on one panel at a time or better still create or...

Hi, Assuming the car has never had an identity change (ie private plates etc) I would be inclined toward phoning one or two of the larger MB main dealers asking if the wouild access the central database for servicing records. Being polite always helps... I would do that first to cover any lack...

Thinking of the fuse, if you have ignition on, don't start engine, but call for cold air using AC can you hear the compressor.....I'm no expert which may be obvious from this statement, but its my initial thought>? ATB

Sorry I just had to bite....but its the last chunk... honest:wallbash: ATB

Now can I lower myself to the insults as you did me? No I wont, just read again (your first sentence) and add the word "dont". If your reading of grammar is similar to your reading of the road then I worry. As for "biker culture".....how little you know my friend, but keep watching SOA, you...

He started it...............:doh:

Your Dad, rides a fantastic bike, (does he use the MCR forum), I had two of these (the second after regretfully selling the first). Big torquey beast, I rode once to South of France and back, magnificent journey. I dont think many regular motorcyclists in here are advocates of the trainers...

........and the point is?:confused Ah, perhaps you are suggesting that YOU have the right to TELL what a motorist must wear....or are you suggesting one might lack the intelligence to assess the risks? Either way the purpose is not obvious, unless its an attempt to glory in the potential for...

A very well thought out opinion, IMO. :thumb: The "barriers" to a full motorcycle licence, if not motorcycling per ce, have been raised consistently over the past 40 - 50 years. TBH Im one of those that only wears a seatbelt when I have to (ie that bloody alarm in the Merc, (my old 4x4 pajero...
