Hi all, So out in Cyprus, I bought a Weber II 310 and recently put it together. We are a heavy charcoal grilling country lots of "souvla" and "souvlakia" but I wanted a gas grill because it's easy and cleaner and don't have to make a mess with charcoal on the roof garden/veranda. I bought a...

I managed to go into a dodgy dusty car-park here in Cyprus last summer and managed to scrape my lower bumper on a divot/pot hole. I am since being extra careful over speed-bumps because some are not exactly within normal specifications and avoiding dirt roads and non tarmac car parks etc. There...

I'm abroad at the moment where the petrol station usually has attendants who fuel your car for you. Me speaking in English whilst being distracted on the phone meant I was juggling things but I told the guy "20 euros, 95 please". There's a been a couple of occasions where they approach the car...

Had some issues with our rooftop balcony in our new build flat in Greece. Some issues with the roof drains and water getting into the wall and ceiling through the dodgy drain set up and unsealed glass / marble viewing area. We have our inside on the third floor with a balcony and then an...

At our flat in Greece. Had a six page long thread on here about the way they bolted a heavy duty steel pergola to the wall with the rods not straight and out the wall. Ended up taking it no further but luckily it's still standing! A lot of the work and especially finish / quality and care taken...

Mum was in an accident the other day. She was turning right from a main road into a residential road and collided with a moped going in the other direction which cut across her path. The guy came off the bike and someone shouted to call a ambulance which she did. The police then turned up. The...

Welcome to Cyprus :doh: Recently (November 2019) purchased a new build top floor apartment in Cyprus. Being Cypriot from the UK, we've already heard stories about the quality and standards of construction and other sectors here, and I think we've got off fairly lightly, but we've had loads of...

Hi all, At the moment I'm the owner of two cars. A 2012 C Class Coupe which I have up for sale and estimate I will sell in the region of £8500-9500 for. I also recently at Christmas purchased/took out a deal on hire purchase for a 2018 CLA. My preference would have been to sell the 2012 car and...

Hi all, Booked in for MOT at local KwikFit on Wednesday. First time taking a car there but couldn't resist the £25 price. Car has just been serviced, and is a used approved from Mercedes - 12 plate C Class C180 Coupe. Would have passed without any trouble however the other day an old boy was...

Hi guys, Just running the figures on a used C Class coupe I purchased from MB in April 2015. I put down a big deposit with low monthly payments with an option to purchase at the end of it. I've just got an early settlement figure which is obviously less than the value of the car due to the big...

Purchased a used approved C Class Coupe (2012) in April 16 from MB Stevenage. Went away for 10 days recently and dad drove the car to work and back once, got a tyre changed and got it valeted. As soon as I get in it, I notice that the sound/music is only playing on the passenger side. I checked...

Hi all, Went out to the car this morning and noticed these white marks on the badge in the centre of the alloy wheels. Checked every tyre and noticed the same thing, all appear on the MB badge. I bought the car from an MB main dealer and have had it one month. They definitely weren't...

Hi, I had another thread running because I was looking at getting a new C Class however a 2012 C180 C Class Sport AMG Fire Opal caught my eye at MB Stevenage. With 16,000 miles on the clock and a £1000 dealer contribution to make it £15,450, it was a much more reasonable price for me so I went...

I am looking into and very interested in buying a new Mercedes. I was looking at upgrading from my current car to a newer used MB but I am now looking at getting a brand new C Class Coupe with MB Agility Finance. It would be great if anyone has the time to advise or help with what I should be...

My elderly granddad 78 years old, went to see a car at a dealer out in East Herts. I searched Auto-trader and found him a decent low mileage 07 Renault Megane hatch-back for £1800. Told him to go and have a look and let me know, I couldn't make it to go with him, but he ended up putting down a...

Hi Guys, So recently we hired a local well known (British) loft conversion company to do our loft conversion. Guy kept delaying, and then said he works with someone else as well who will be doing the loft. Sent another English builder round who said he was going on "holiday" but his builders...

Hi all, Need to replace my front two tyres on my 2002 C Class Sport Coupe C200 Kompressor. My current tyres that were on when I bought the car are: 225/45/R17 94W however when I type my car into the tyre checker etc, or look for tyres specific to my car, it appears that the current tyre...

Any ideas guys or basic checks/quick fixes I can do to try and figure out the issue? A couple of months ago both my keys started to work intermittently. I put this down to leaving them out in the cold when I was running but then they started to not work more regularly. I often had to open up...

I had my windscreen replaced in March by AutoGlass. They fitted a non dealer screen. I bought my car last November and I can't seem to remember any issues with the screen holding a lot of condensation or steaming up even in the coldest/wettest of weathers. I do seem to remember that went it did...
