I am losing my C Class coupe 250cdi six months before the lease ends. Bloke at work has left and I am to take over his year old Audi A6 avant 3.00tdi S line Quattro auto. Only 6k miles. Loads on here would smile and say yippee . But I like my coupe . I so do not need a car that seats five six...

Took car to Mercedes York for B service yesterday.Asked for cost of sorting out scuffed AMG alloys on front wheels. Phone call mid morning and one of them had some signs of corrosion round wheel nuts . Garage had called Mercedes and they agreed all four alloys be replaced . So, tonight my car...

Went to a funeral on Friday. Had to park on a village green with loads of others. Very very wet and hey ho the merc struggled to keep going on a muddy slight incline . Interesting to watch a colleague's 3 series ,with winter tyres, just power out and away !

My 250cdi has had brake squeal from new.Only when gently coming to a stop but annoying and enough to cause people to turn in the street. Had it to dealer twice and they have now fitted new rear pads and no more squeal ! Seems there has been a technical bulletin issued on the cure so if you have...

How do those of you using DAB find the reception ? I had an Audi A4 wuth a DAB radio and it was fantastic with no break up on routes to work etc. The Merc DAB,on the other hand, is a nightmare cutting out all the time. I have rung the garage and they will take a look but i just wondered if ,in...

Dab reception in my C Class (side rear window aerial I think) is not as good as in my old Audi A4 with a roof top aerial. Has anyone on here fitted an aftermarket Dab aerial and if so with what results ?

Thinking about purchasing Becker Map Pilot and wonder if anyone using one can give me an idea if it is worth having ?

Just ordered a C250cdi coupe with delivery in March. Sales guy said to expect 50 plus mpg.Anyone on here got this car/engine and if so what real world consumption is ? Presumably C250 saloon will be similar if anyone has one as well.

Well first real snowy winter weather round North Yorkshire and,as usual, my C Class gets stuck! Anyway,this year I bought a pair of snow socks put 'em on the rear wheels and hey presto traction and off I went no problems.They are a must if you have rear wheel drive , auto and live in the...

Now filled up with two (expensive) tanks of BP diesel ultimate.Not sure I have seen any better performance or fuel economy from my usual Shell or supermarket vin ordinaire fill up !! Just what does Ultimate diesel do ?

My aim is to upgrade the handling to my C320CDi (06 model year) by replacing the Avantgarde springs with some AMG ones.Has anyone on site done this and with what results.Fully appreciate the ride will be harder but am ex TT owner so what is new!!
