    Mercedes Me - disconnected

    23 days ago my Mercedes Me system lost connection with the car. Everything on the car works as it should with the exception of the SOS call system but that might be the car recognising that it isn’t where Mercedes Me thinks it has been for the past three weeks, (in a village 6 miles away)...

    Mercedes Benz insurance - rip off

    I retired recently so I called MB insurance today to advise that I am no longer employed and I don’t need cover for commuting anymore. Cost me £38+ in order to comply with their requirements to inform them of any changes, £18 premium increase!, and £20 administration fee. Just done the same...

    MBUX Built in Dash Cam!

    Aren’t they ludicrously, obscenely overpriced?

    Charging point on driveway.

    For me, this whole discussion about ICE vs EV is moot. Once the government decides that the fuel duty losses are restricting their gay abandon spending plans they will find a way of extracting even more taxes from all motorists and the whole issue of “it costs a lot less to run an EV” becomes...

    To Wrap or not to Wrap, that's my question?

    I’ve never seen a car wrapped that I didn’t identify as wrapped within about 30 seconds. Especially if they were wrapped a few months ago. Its your choice, and your money, quite a lot of it from what I hear. Adds zero value to the car.

    I probably should of known better

    Prostrate instead of prostate gets to me. Politicians who start every answer with “Look” it asserts that “clearly your a bit dim so let me explain in a very simple way that a dummy like you might understand, but you really must listen carefully” And of course ”like”, it’s as if ,like, no one...

    2021 C300 prem+, dash rattle

    Anyone know of a common source for a rattle from the front interior of our C300. It is provoked by road surface changes not engine speed or music. ”luckily“ it is becoming permanent and not intermittent - so the dealer won’t be able to claim “we couldn’t replicate the problem” Just wondered...

    Rear (right) Subframe shortages??

    £470 on eBay, don’t know how much a genuine MB part costs? This could be a genuine part, could be a reputable pattern part, could be a cheap copy fabricated with sub-standard material and dodgy amateur welding - bashed out in a shed somewhere, how will you find out? The fact that the company...

    To run flat or not to run flat

    I had a new W205 in 2016 on Conti run flats 19” - could not get rid of them fast enough, might as well been fitted with wheelie bin castors, noisy, harsh ride, didn’t wear particularly well and expensive. Fitted conventional tyres at about 12K, - different car. I actually thought that I had a...

    BMW driver...hard shoulder is a lane? Not for long ...

    I’m sure there are plenty of comments on Audi / BMW fora referring to MB drivers as dawdling old farts ……… whatever, we should all just relax a bit more behind the wheel, it isn’t a competition.

    Battery cars on holiday

    Never, ever believe ANYTHING that any government encourages you to do, there is always a “hidden” agenda, “you must all buy diesels” is a perfect example. Wonder how long it will be before the government declares its plan to recover all the fuel duty that will be lost when many are railroaded...

    BMW driver...hard shoulder is a lane? Not for long ...

    Plenty of comments about indicators being used, my biggest gripe of late is the adoption of “I have indicated, therefore I now claim my lane with immediate effect, whether you have to brake or change direction is of no consequence to me as I did indicate” In the event of a collision I’m sure...

    New C Class pricing

    UK prices start at £38.8k (saloon) and £40.4K (estate). Wow - talk about rip-off Britain! Suspect these will have to be heavily discounted - a C200 Sport (1.5 petrol) for 38k!! I know these are quality motors but I feel as if the world (or the marketing people) have gone quite mad!

    This is just wrong.......

    I think there will be import duty and VAT to pay on top of the selling price - wow! And I agree - it ain’t no looker!
