    E55 Renewal time

    I ditched swiftcover when I read through the policy document thoroughly, they state they use used spares to repair cars ...not what I wanted on a new car . I think you can download a copy online. They are often cheap for a reason. When I had my e55 I had to use a baroker as many wanted it...

    Warranty Choice Advice

    I recently renewed mine for an E350cdi Coupe and paid £639 in December last year. I was expecting it to run to four figures so was pleasantly surprised! I weighed up the pro's and cons of the others on offer and even one offered by a MB dealer, but went with the MB one as it seemed to give...

Must make this show next year and take the stag or...

    Approved Used Cars

    I have bought a couple of my cars from MB like this and their direct network are good at this as they can get motors from their other locations. I believe you are also protected by the distnace selling regs too which effectively gives you more rights, if for some reason something isnt right...

    Langka

    I've been using this for a few years and find it works very well with with a bit of practice. As with most things if you try to remove some of a metalic paint it leaves some of the flake showing. So I have found with my cars I use a plain colour to touch in leave for a few days and then take...
