Anyone know of any rubber mats for my 2016 B200D auto that include a bit that covers the carpeted driver's left footrest? Many of the stock pics of mats show a small extension for the footrest, but it seems that the MB official mats don't have one. So far I haven't found any aftermarket ones...

My Jan 2016 B Class auto (Audio 20 Garmin) always defaults to 'C' mode, not 'E'. It will retain changes for the usual short interruptions in driving, but that's all, so I have to select 'E' each day if I want it. I've just had the latest software update for the gearbox too and it hasn't changed...

I don't know where the 2006 C180K auto Evolution S Sports Coupe that I'm helping my lad to sell was built, but I have to say it's stood the test of time very well so far inside and out.

Those biased in each direction are easily able to make a cogent nutrutional argument either way. A few players now seem to have entered the BARF arena. For anyone who might wish to investigate, we are playing with a few at the moment. Each seems to have their own variation on the theme. At the...

The rule changes have certainly made it more difficult to change your car if you're not trading the old one in.

Yes, I gather you can't have an uninsured car now even if taxed and not on the road. Haven't looked at the procedure yet, though I'd rather avoid it if I can find a sensible and affordable solution. Two days to go before it runs out - does something automatically get flagged up somewhere ?

I think you've done just the job there for your set-up.

I seem to remember the prices were ridiculous when I last looked at this quite some years ago. At the moment I'm only insured on my wife's motability car, so I have no policy to add anything to. The other complication is that I'm not the reg keeper of the car. It's my son's and I'm selling it on...

You called it sure enough

I couldn't believe the £750 bill at MB Leeds last year for a B service on a 2006 C180K auto Sports Coupe. Nothing extra was done - just fluids, admittedly including auto transmission etc

Anyone had any sensible quotes for very short term insurance lately and can recommend anywhere? I need some brief cover whilst I sell a car. I tried Aviva online as they advertise temporary cover, but after inputting the car, a 2006 C180K auto Sports Coupe, the screen said they could not offer...

I've always though the UK handgun ban was a total waste of time anyway. I don't think it's saved a single life. Certainly it hasn't stopped hand guns getting into criminal hands.

I feel honoured to know a McLaren interior designer. Unfortunately, not well enough to get a drive :-(

Well, I've put the C180 up for sale at £19995 so now the hunt begins !

So far there seem to be a couple of issues to be concerned about with the 6 cylinder W124's. I read one report that says cylinder head gasket failure seems to be a certainty and is a £1500 repair. I also read that wiring loom failure due to heat is common and that the part alone is £500. I also...

I'm coming round to the idea of a W124 E280 or 320 Estate auto y'know. At the right price it would even leave me enough to indulge in another slightly 'less practical Merc too ! Mind you, it has to live outside whatever it is.

Just popped up the right time for me, that !

Well guys, i called in at the dealer yesterday for attnention to a creaking driver's seat and got a valuation while I was there. Nothing surprising really - they offered £17000 as a straight buy in, though I dare say i could have improved that a little if I'd tried to negotiate. After all...

Perhaps I should emphasise that the word 'downgrade' is used merely in financial terms, not quality ! I just worry a bit more about hidden problems when buying the 124 series, though I appreciate you can get them even on brand new cars. I was kind of hoping to get £19995 for mine if I sell...

Yes, I've certainly decided I need one of the bigger engines i.e 280 petrol or bigger, or 320 diesel. Fuel costs don't worry me too much as I don't even do 8k a year. To be honest I'd love a 430 - don't know if they have any specific problems.
