Agreed; the dealers, round here (W Sussex) at least are terrible. As a recent example, I took my 2019 E350 cabriolet in several months ago as the cover that conceals the roof when it’s open wasn’t latching correctly on the passenger side. They diagnosed the issue - a broken cord somewhere in...

The video has been deleted, but it’s available here still: https://imgur.com/JeVu5CW No idea why the OP flashed the headlights - the Audi had been in that lane for ages. OP swooped from outside lane to the slip road, flashed the headlights and spooked the Audi as far as I can see. OP also had...

if my memory from when I ordered an E270 estate as a company car way back in ‘04 is correct, then the 80 litre tank came with the avantgarde trim pack, and possibly elegance as well. Though I don’t know anyone who ordered an elegance as the cost was the same as the avantgarde, but that came...

Funnily enough my previous car was an M235 convertible, which I had for nearly 4 years before getting my E350 convertible. It is bigger, obviously, but once you’re used to it doesn’t feel big to drive. I loved the BMW, but it was what I an 8/10ths sort of car…absolutely brilliant, unless you...

I‘ve got a 2019 E350 convertible…before buying it I drove a C300 convertible, a C43 Coupe and an E300 Coupe. The E felt to me like a far nice car. Though the C43 performance was fun I figured that since a 4 seat convertible is never going to really be a performance car more than 300bhp, while...

I don’t recall the option to set each side of the interior ambient lighting separately, so I suspect yours needs a trip to the dealers…

Based on this wheel on ebay ( MERCEDES 2020 STEERING WHEEL & AIRBAG AMG - C CLASS W205 W177 W213 W253 | eBay ) I suspect if you currently have a similar layout to mine but with the lower left toggle flipping between the LIM and Cruise function it’s a relatively easy swap… presumably the...

You can just about see the buttons for controlling the adaptive cruise in this picture, taken when it was actually sunny! On the right spoke, in the lower section the small toggle on the left adjusts the distance to the car in front, the larger middle toggle is used to set / adjust the speed...

At the risk of also getting confused by the terminology, and with reference to your second point above, my car (a 2019 e class cabriolet), has the drivers assistance pack which includes adaptive cruise control (distronic?). All of the controls for it are on the right hand ’spoke’ of the...

Mine was registered and delivered in September 2019, with the optional drivers assistance package, and can confirm that lane change assist works as described my wivenhoe above. However, I seldom use it as it takes forever to change lane and you end up looking like a learner driver 😂. So...

I’m no expert, but I’d imagine it’d be cheaper to just find a car with the options you want and trade in / buy that surely? Adding LED lights and parktronic feels like you could easily spend £4K and end up with a car worth no more...?

I bought an old Audi 80 Cabriolet on eBay many years ago...2013 I think. It had an opaque rear screen got a place in. Brighton (I live not far away) that did repairs to boat hoods to replace it. It cost me £300 from memory, and was faultless I kept that car for 5 years...solid old thing, and...

Yes, it’s not as considerate as it could be in centring itself in the space, but I’ve seen far worse parking ☺️ It’s rubellite red by the way - and I love it!

Mine indicates on the central screen when it’s found a space, but to get it to park in it you have to accept the space using the command controller thingy then put it in reverse. It’ll reverse, steer, brake, change gear and go forwards again all by itself from that point, and will shuffle back...

Mine looks the same as above, and I have the driver assistance package which does all sorts of stuff that must involve cameras?

My car was specc’ed, by me, at a cost of, I think, £1,695 with a Driver Assistance Pack, which included Active Brake Assist, Active Distance Assist (active cruise), Active Lane Keeping Assist and Evasive Steering Assist (!!) as well as no doubt some other bits and bobs. Parking Assist was, I...

Ah that’s a shame. I’ll be very disappointed if an over the air update takes the functionality away from mine. Though I think the park assist has changed recently, unless I’m imagining it. I’m sure it used to park itself when you accepted the space. But now it wants you to engage reverse...

I’ve got a 238, albeit in 350 guise, and it’s been faultless. Mind you, at 18 months old and 15k miles you’d hope so... from memory the only difference between the 300 and the 350 is the mild hybrid stuff isn’t it? That and about 50bhp. I’m not sure I’d miss either, though mine is commendably...

I can’t see anyone else having referred back to this post by markjay, but apologies if they have. It reads as if the hands on / and off detection is the cause of the issue doesn’t it? So perhaps some MB models aren’t fitted with this particular feature, resulting in the non-compliance with the...

While that was true of the previous E class convertible / coupe, I don’t think it is of the current one. That’s based on the E class but, I think, with a shorter wheelbase.
