    Pointless Car Adverts

    I am puzzled that in the adverts enticing us to buy a new car, manufacturers will use a generic picture of a model from the range, which is fine, usually without any reference to a price, and then add, in mostly small print, the range of fuel consumption figures for the whole range. In The Times...

    Moved on to a Jaguar

    After 8 consecutive Mercedes over the past 16 years, I have swapped my 2007 CLS320cdi for a 3.0 Deisel S Premium Luxury XF, its a one year old ex management car with 9000 miles. I went looking at 1 to 2yr old E350cdi coupes or saloons, perhaps a newer CLS 350cdi but after seeing the XF and doing...

    ViseeO MB2, CLS Grille & St Wheel for sale

    1) ViseeO MB-2. This is the bluetooth adaptor you need for hands free. Just removed from my CLS (its moving on!) and it was in my W211 E320cdi before that. It will fit any MB with the UHI/MHI connector, and has worked perfectly with my iPhone 4s. 2) 2 bar Grille for a facelift W219, although it...

    French Toll Road Sanef Tag

    Just been offered one of these via Eurotunnel, at a modest saving, seems like a no-brainer so ordered one. The instructions are very definitive that it should go in the hatched area of windscreen behind rvm. On the CLS there is no spare hatched area to stick the thing, so it will have to go in...

    My nephew drives one these transporters. He collected a full load of AMG's from MB Worcester yesterday. (AMG drive day recently?) He reckons the S and CLS were the most impressive. His firm gets about .......

    Give way when joining dualled/motorways

    A few days ago, when moving slowly on the slip road and indicating to feed in to a 70mph dual carriageway, a driver on the inner lane slowed significantly, almost stopped and flashed to let me in - scary. I did pull out after checking that there was no other car behind that one but if this is...

    CLA 220cdi AMG Sport - impressions

    Good… Car looks OK in the current MB style, seems to have excellent solid build quality, 3 rear seat belts, fuel efficiency, suspension very compliant on our bad roads, sound system seemed really good. Not so good …… Stop/Start – I know its on most new cars but on first...

    Comand Radio failing?

    NTG1 (I think) in a 2007 CLS 320cdi. Recently the radio has refused to change stations or move between FM/AM or CD by any method, and today the volume could not be adjusted by either the rotary control or the st wheel controls. I switched it off for 5 minutes then back on and all was well. Is...

    CLA (and others) Heater control placement

    As you can see, the heater controls are recessed and sit on a vertical panel, not ideal to reach for and adjust. A design that's standard on many current MB's It would be more ergonomic to have them on an inclined panel, facing towards the driver, although the small cubby hole would be lost...

    Bicycle riding in the country

    This rant is just about riding a bike in the country areas, not inner towns and cities, although there is lots could be said. I ride a bike a few times a week for leisure, and have never had a real issue with any type of vehicle. There are also horse riders about, and I would hope their...

    CLS Grille removal

    The grille is located along the bottom by three plastic clips. It appears that to release them, the lock tab is pushed forward, but I cannot get even one to release - I suspect that the other two have such a firm grip that all three need to be released at the same time and cannot figure out how...
