    Farewell to my W203

    After two years of ownership the C Class has been sold. With the recent arrival of our third child the back seat of the C Class was not capable of accommodating an infant seat and two booster seats. After evaluating the options, we opted for a Honda FR-V (photos will be posted in the...

    W203 Armrest lid

    I need some help with the armrest lid on my 203. I somehow managed to dislodge the mechanism on the lid (which flips allowing access to the phone cradle). The buttons on either side do not push in and the lid is only secure by the hinge mechanism at the rear on the driver's side. Does...

    What do you get if you cross a W124 with a W210?

    Saw this at the weekend. Nice 450SLC behind it too. Does it belong to anyone on here? Also on a nearby drive - a W115, W129, W208 and a W202!

    Foxes - Grrr

    We often come out to find that foxes have walked over the cars overnight and have left muddy footprints on the cars. :doh: This morning I found a small clump of fur on the bonnet of the W203 as well as footprints, and later in the day I noticed that the phone ariel has been CHEWED - to the...

    Dvla

    I need some advice regarding cherished plate transfers. As we are in the process of selling the W168, I took the V5 and MoT to my local DVLA office for transferring the plate to the W169. I was told documents would follow in 7 working days. I found a buyer for the car on Sunday (deposit...

    W168 mirrors

    W169 mirrors Having recently bought a pre-facelift W169 A Class, I am surprised to find that the door mirrors do not manually fold as they do on other MBs. With enough force they do fold in the event of a collision, but I don't think this is an every day solution for folding them. Has anyone...

    'B' Service

    The C Class went for a 'B' Service yesterday, and came back with auto folding mirrors :bannana: but no other additions in the menu though:( I bought 2 x Mobil 1 0W40 from Costco for £19.99+VAT each as the dealer would have used Mobil S 5W40 and charged around £100 :eek:. superior oil, for...

    Came across this A Class for sale.....

    Check out the following link: http://www.autocarsales.co.uk/popuptemplate.php?id=2212&start=0# It doesn't look too bad - until you see the interior colour!:eek: I thought the loud colours were only seen on the early W168s. Is the four seater version an option? Never seen the rear bench...

    Pump price discrepancy

    I filled up using BP Ultimate Diesel at BP on the A322 coming our of Bracknell this evening. The price on the pump next to the nozzle was 106.9. I filled up until the pump cut out when I noticed the LCD price in the display was a penny more than advertised next to the nozzle. I pointed this out...

    24" rims

    I've been in Toronto for a few days, and saw this Charger one day in the hotel carpark. If I recall, it had 255/30/24s on it! Look how small the Brembo's look. Thinking about a set for the W203 - what do you think! :)

    I was in Holland this week and saw this in a W211 taxi. Apparently a €3,000 MB option. Anyone else in Amsterdam at the RAI centre this week?
