    A Productive Saturday

    Hi All, I decided that my car had been sadly neglected during recent times. So, Saturday I set about putting that right. A full rinse, snow foam, rinse, snow foam and then wash. This then allowed me to try out my new toy (a present from my daughter and son-in-law) the BigBoi BlowR Mini dryer...

    What Purpose Do They Serve?

    I'm referring to the felt-type strips that run along the base of each door window. This morning all of the car windows had condensation on the outside but powering them down/up they were still completely covered in condensation. That tells me that there is no contact between these strips and...

    9G-Tronic Box

    Hi, Has anybody had any issues with the 9G-Tronic box on their cars? In particular, selecting reverse. The box is as smooth as silk and makes the car a pleasure to drive. However, selecting reverse is an infuriating lottery and is taking the edge off my ownership experience. The series of...

    BMW Drivers, or Just a Coincidence?

    I was walking home from work last night - a new found pleasure having commuted for 10 years. As I was on the pedestrian crossing a BMW 3 series ran the red light, passing the static cars in lane 1 and shot through the junction. I luckily spotted him and stepped back behind the static cars. Not...

    Excellent Service Once Again

    I was fortunate enough to be able to replace my W205 with a new W213 yesterday. And for the third time in almost 6 years I went with Sytner Mercedes of Teeside.

    Michelin CrossClimate

    Had Michelin's all season CossClimate tyres fitted in December. It's the first time I have departed from the Contis. So today we have plenty of the white stuff and I have to say they performed brilliantly. Unless something drastic happens to them in the coming months I'm now a total convert.

    W205 Timing Belt Tensioner

    Hi, A quick heads-up re the above on my W205 C220. The car was going in for the Garmin Sat Nav update error (fixed with a software update) and the Dealers asked if they could carry out a service request on the tensioner. Apparently it affects certain 220 engines across the range. Seemingly the...

    W205 Fuel Filler Flap

    Had and interesting experience yesterday. Went to fill up my new C Class for the second time and the fuel nozzle would not go into the filler. The metal flap inside the filler neck would not release, despite several attempts to insert the pump nozzle. I double checked the fuel type (BP Ultimate...

    Hello, Just a quick intro. I'm new to the forum and just bought my first Merc. It's a 2012 C Class 220 Sport CDI. Three weeks from new and it still puts a smile on my face whenever I drive it.
