    Multiple codes 2011 C220CDi

    Son was driving his C220CDI Coupe today when he said it felt down on power. Separately, I noticed a wet line on the driveway today, after he'd gone out, a line that didn't seem to evaporate (granted it's not great weather), but did seem very distinct on the granite stones of the driveway...

    Shopping on AliExpress

    I have been thinking about getting a new scan tool, as our household fleet keeps growing and changing. I've currently got the iCarsoft CR2 10 makes tool. I was thinking about getting a Topdon Phoenix Lite 2, but have recently been looking at the Xtool D8W. Having searched the Web, the best deal...

    Anyone in Bristol?

    Dear fellow forum members, is there anyone here based in Bristol, specifically the Clifton area (nr the uni)? My son, in Plymouth, is missing being able to play piano at home. So, having scoured the Web, I've found a keyboard that would be ideal, but it's based in Bristol! He has sent a...

    Sump washer for 2012 CLS OM642

    Does anybody happen to have the dimensions of the sump plug washer for the 2012 OM642 V6 320CDi engine? Planning to service the CLS, but not sure what size the washer for the sump plug is.🤔

    Typical!😡

    Saw an audiologist a few weeks ago, due to my chronic tinnitus. Her instant reaction was that my ears were well and truly blocked with wax and to get them cleaned out. So, after days of pouring olive oil in to them, today was the day to get Dyno-Rod in there. Turns out, even my ears are...

    Here I go again

    More dizzy spells, chest pain, and exhaustion. Phone 111 and within 30 min in an ambulance on the way to hospital. I guarantee everything will be found to be normal, as usual!

    Finally, I'm officially fit!

    Well, fit to drop. Totted up the list of maladies list by my GP on the latest hospital referral. A mere 22 different things were mentioned. At this rate, there's going to be more wrong than right!🤣

    Son has joined the club

    Well, after looking for a few weeks / months, my eldest (22) has joined the long suffering ranks, otherwise known as Mercedes owners! He has just bought a C220CDi Blue Efficiency AMG Sports Edition 125 Coupe. Catchy moniker!🤣 It's a 2012 on a 61 plate, with 75k on the odometer. It even has...

    Can't see thread listed

    For some reason, I can't see the Word Association thread. The only way I could find it was by searching my previous posts. Anyone else having the same issue? Anyone got any idea what the issue might be?🤔

    Blast from the past!

    Found this partially buried whilst excavating in the garden.

    C250CDi issues?

    Are there any common issues to look out for on a W204 2012 C250CDi? On the way to view one with my son.

    Facebook adverts

    What is it with all the adverts for cars on FB that are obviously total BS? You know the ones, where you see a car at a very good, or even stupidly low, price and find the seller has loads of vehicles advertised at stupid low prices, sometimes even the exact same cars as somebody else. I know...

    Our local Harvester

    Was in the news today, having rather over-cooked, well, everything and being burnt to the ground. Fortunately, it's not the sort of establishment one tends to frequent, living a bit further along the coast and having more discerning tastes.

    Maybe I'm paranoid...

    Needed to use a carpark today, so went online to check its details. Nothing unusual about that I hear you say. However, whilst checking the details and prices, I noticed a small, but potentially significant, detail that has the potential to cost people a lot of money. On the sign, where the...

    2005 CLK320 Test drive

    My son, the one wanting a Mercedes, has found a 2005 (05) CLK320 for sale, with 87000 miles. The car seems honest enough, a scuff on the bumper, kerbed rims, interior a bit grubby, etc... Test drove it and was a bit surprised by a couple of things: a) first thing that hit me was how the...

    Potent stuff

    Due to insomnia, I was watching TV in the early hours the other day. Happened upon one of those How It's Made type programs, where they were at an Italian liquorice manufacturer - supposedly one of the best in the world. So, thinking it would be rude not to, and as a lover of liquorice, I got...

    Ill again!

    Poxy bacteria! Having only got over a bacterial infection a few weeks ago, it looks like it's back again, and this time it's personal!🤣🤬 Stupid GP surgery, rather than taking my word, based on a lot more experience than they've probably ever had of the infection, have decided that rather than...

    Copart

    Anyone else like to peruse the cars on Copart and then wonder how the hell the damage occurred? There's currently a CLS with smashed wheel and underside - how? There's also a Jag F-Pace in a very sorry state.🤣

    SLK facelift difference

    My son is considering getting a 2nd gen SLK at some point. He is wondering whether there's much difference / what's the difference between pre and post facelift models? Anybody able to shed some light on this for him? Thanks.
