An update... I've had 4 General Altimax UHPs on the S500 and IMHO they are really nice. The handling is much better than the cheapos the previous owner had put on it. All the vibrations have gone, the road holding is much better as well. I'll see how well they last but so far, really happy. A

I've got an older 3.2 V6 Cayenne with most of the extras that were available at the time. We need something that can get us from A to B when it snows, can tow when we need it to and is comfortable to take to Switzerland skiing. We looked at a few M's but the right spec never came up... I'd...

Thanks guys... A

All, When I bought my W220 it had a non-MB drivers wing mirror, non heated and non dipping. The spec on the car has a dipping heated mirror so I bought one 2nd hand of eBay. It looked fine and I fitted it. It worked ok for a day and then overnight it is like the oil inside has crazed. It...

Thanks for the info, is there an easy way of checking? I can not see anything in the central console? A

All, I've a '51 S500L W220 without a phone kit. Any idea if this would work to get the wiring up into the centre console? Thanks... MERCEDES S CLASS W220 SET OF CAR PHONE ECUS 4 UNITS | eBay A

In my experience, this is 'normal' driving practice on the M25... :D A

At least the local joy-riders wouldn't know how to get into the car :-) A

Only way to guarantee is to book an appointment and go into one of the office. From memory there's a within a day service and also another guaranteed service but can't remember which one. If you're traveling on business then I would guess your employer would pay for the 1 day service? Mine...

My view is that less than 3 years I'd prefer to see a Main dealer, after that Indy is fine. I generally like to see a consistent use of garage, e.g. if the last 3 services are done by one Indy or Main then try and use them again. I bought a S500 with 170k on the clock and the first 2 services...

I agree totally... I have an S500 and it is a great cruiser, has the power if you really need it, but it's done 180k miles and i would like it to do at least another 100k... :) A

I generally get between 30 and 31 on a 50 mile run some town, some A and some motorway... A

Just to update, great service from Chris and his team. Needless to say and I'm very happy with the car and will definitely use him again... A

An old thread I know but I was doing some research prior to getting my S500 serviced... I'm booked in with Chris on Thursday for a B service.

Marty, Was it easy to fit? Did you need to completely remove the bumper? Thanks, Alistair

Just bought an S500 with 168k on the clock and very happy.... Here's to seeing it through to 250k...

Yep, they're the ones... As I said, I've had good experience with their 4x4 tyres just wondering if anyone had practical experience of the Altimax UHPs on an S Class.... Thanks....

Hi, I always had Generals on my 4x4s in the past but now I've a S-Class S500 I was wondering if anyone had tried Generals on an S-Class? Thanks,

Thanks, I'll let you know....

Thanks Clive How long would you need the car for? Thanks, Alistair
