Really it's all about trust for MB (or my lack of it, from experience over the years) and a reluctance, as I said earlier, to spend time and money fruitlessly on this vehicle, so unless someone there can say "Oh,yes we have had previous incidents of this" then I shall just put up with it, unless...

I was clearly naive to expect the promised update from MB- no call back after the 14 August contact- contacted again on Tuesday 21 August to chase it up but joined a merry carousel of going from extension to extension and back to switchboard, at which point I was again promised a call back-...

Sadly, I have to agree- I've always enjoyed my E Class vehicles but my experience of the manufacturer, over the years, hasn't been nearly as pleasurable! BUT, watch this space.... I've just spoken to a delightful young woman in another local MB outlet who has promised to talk to the workshop to...

After much further investigation I now know, having struggled to contact TomTom (15minutes waiting on the phone) that although they supply the cartography for the Mercedes/Comand satnav for my car, they do not supply hardware or the live traffic information; therefore they do not support the...

No idea how to change the Live Traffic settings but i shall investigate. As to the engine- my old car told me several times that it wanted a new owner and I dithered for so long making the switch to petrol that I ran out of time (6 visits to the workshop and a £1000 spent on correcting small...

Since you first commented on the possibility of the TomTom Traffic service being the problem, which I initially discounted, I think you may well be on to something because I recall something which frequently occurs but whichIi hadn't linked with the prime issue- namely, that the unit frequently...

Thanks for that suggestion as it isn't something I would have thought of. I've just been out to the car to load tomorrow mornings 7 mile journey from Bromley to Blackheath SE London- and BINGO! up popped the mysterious audio message once again- I now remember that it is always the A1208 which...

Yes, V 16.0 Europe & UK- I'm no expert on such stuff, hence my bewilderment, but this mysterious random reference to an irrelevant road but probably a valid attempt to inform me of a congested area somewhere on whatever route I have loaded, seems more like a glitch in the software which MB...

1. S204 2 Comand ( Satnav is TomTom) 3. Paid for and up to date 4. Yes, it is

Earlier this year had my new(to me), 2014, C180 satnav updated to the latest software version; it was still on the factory issue version. Since then there has appeared, completely at random and infrequently, a glitch referring to a virtually non- existent 'A' road with traffic congestion...

It's time to replace my E320CDI Estate and I would like a used E350 CDI Estate (post 2009 model), as I particularly like the six cylinder engines, but I am dithering. First:- I have now reduced my motoring from 12k miles per year down to about 7-8k mile,pa and I am wondering if this is a...

My EGS has developed a fault following a gearbox oil seal failure. 1. I can find a breaker part with almost identical part numbering (one letter different ). Can anyone tell me if there is a way to check that a close match will be compatible. 2. There seems to be some debate as to whether a...

Well, I must rely on the workshop's report so here's an update just in case others have similar problems. The garage tells me that for BMW and M-B cars they have used discs from Pagid-Textar and ATE for years without incident, with a preference for the first named as they are a little cheaper...

Since undergoing shoulder surgery 27 June (2 days after my original post) I have been unable to drive until recently so I haven't been following up on car matters until now. Apologies therefore for seeming to ignore your helpful advice. The issue is still there but intermittent and doesn't seem...

I cannot see any exact similarity with other forumites juddering problems, so perhaps someone can advise on the following. I have an '02 320CDI Estate with self levelling suspension. In the last 8k miles, I have had the following replacements by my specialist independent garage who maintain...
