Sorry to hear about that, OP It happens but it hurts. I've not looked at our roof, but a corner wall on a house few doors away from us, a 10 foot section of wall fell onto the pavement last night - if it fell the other way it would have fallen on their relatively y new car. Thankfully no one...

Not sure what you are saying but to make my earlier post clearer - I asked if MB dedicated vans & technicians will be phased out. If so, IMO, more MB cars will go to main dealers when the breakdown service is called out that does not specialise in MB, hence resulting in more cars not being...

Goingly slightly OT = I've tried to find out if the sepcialist Mercedes vans with MB logos/etc will now be phased out? If that's the case, then there will be a lot more cars going to a main dealer/MB IMO

Thanks, I'm aware of that. When I rang for the fuel flap not opening - the lady on the other end of the phone recommended that if I could wait until the next day she'd get me a MB technician rather than RAC with a better chance of getting car fixed there and then. The MB guy in the MB arrived...

One of the main reasons I contiune with dealer service is the inclusion of the MB breakdown service - best around IMHO = The fuel cap lid on car would not open - they came out and replaced and MB dealer had a few weeks wait. Then EML came on some years ago - car hesitating like no ones...

Hello Do you mind sharing what car this is, please? My GLE at year 5 whick inc auto box fluid change was about 1400 and this si why I took out a service plan on year 4 and that got me B - A - B but the A serv inc auto box fluid change Thanks

Yes, I've read that and what you said and what others have said here and other forums i read - the car can do with a high rev drive - so what I have been doing a few times on a 50mph roads etc is knocking down the gears and driving high revs - so I am not sure if its that or Redex or both have...

Thank you. I don't believe it had anything to do with me driving as Mr "Daisy" as I've been driving the same way for years and had the car new since 2016 and it was a first. Not aimed at you - but a short history of my driving skills - My dad used to tick me off when I was 17/18 up until the...

Hello and thanks Last year at a big roudabout near Bournemouth (out for a short break) I did not come to a stop and saw the van was a long was a long way off - I continued in my style of driving (comfort/careful) and from the crawl towards the white line and withing stopping I proceeded to...

Free tip. If you see a baby seat in a car, try to park as far away from it as possible just like you would when you see a battered car parked up. Yes, we have a baby/car seat in our cars but we respect other people's property, unlike the misfits who could not care less.

As above. But I've noted it will go automatically to the 9th gear at a fraction below 70 and stay around there from about 68/59mph as long as car is on a level road. In the D8 mode on the motorway, I do keep on pressing the flap shit and it does go to 9th as above and may stay there for a few...

Hi Reading these forums yesterday, I read about the above. However, further research, many state the 'reset' will only last a few miles etc EG the car gets used to ones driving style and back to where it was Therefore, any point? I also just read a sort of prob I may experiencing, ie 9G box...

Thanks but I could not justify the cost for the petrol gle as it was thousands more than what we paid for our gLE/new in cash.

Always shop around for other main dealers. Where we lived, one co now owns all of the main dealers about 6 of them and these were previously owned by MB I think. However, 2 miles from them across the Thmaes you have another MB main dealer and they are owned/franchised by another company. This...

Mine is a 2016 bought brand new and I recall reading specs saying it was "artico" leather and I thought that meant articial - its hard compared to the Kia - not sure if the dashboard is real leather but feels like it. I also recall seats smelling like leather in the first summer I bought the...

Welcome Prior to us buyign a brand new GLE in 2016 - I'd been a C class man since 2003. We moved in 2009 to a close in greater London. I never noted the slight slople leading to the top of the close where we live until 2010 snow fall - as we left work about 4-ish, it snowed like nothing I'd...

Re nuclear tv programme - read today online re so-called "secret" Russian plan to attack a Nato member in 12 to 18 months time and cause tensions in Estonia and surrounding countries that have a large Russian population. Feed the media/net with malicious/false info. Then lie about NATO getting...

Hello I've been considering buying a new/pre-owned MB GLE There is a much greater choice of colours/trim/gadgets and the general condition/history of the 5 seaters GLE's Can you retrofit seats 6 and 7 to a 5 seat version? I've looked on the net and can't see anything. I'm guessing all of the...

The highlighted bit🤣🤣

The dartford branch is part of a group for south London brances of Mercedes and they often stick to their price My gLE, was bought new in 2016 low miles, I was looking up the the 5th year service that inc the auto box - must have looked it up on year 4 and penned in a gle year older than mine...
