Anybody on the forum bought my C250 late April from MB Sheffield ??

Is it the credit squeeze or is the used car market getting back to pre covid prices ? At the end of April 23 I p/exd my 2018 C250d 4matic (31k miles) for £21,500 (same WBAC Offer) against a 3 month old Macan , not much wiggle room with Porsche. Out of interest I got an updated price today...

A difficult decision but after 5 years I finally waved goodbye to my W205 yesterday. I bought the car back in April 2018 , pre reg with 50 miles on the clock, for a discounted price of £31,250 Sytners had bought about 50 of these top spec cars from MB which were pre facelift models and were...

Selling my car shortly and the dealer is happy to take it with my 18" 5 spoke AMG alloy winter setup. So my original 19" AMG Turbines are up for sale. All 4 wheels are in absolutely pristine condition and have never been refurbished ,unlike most sets on Ebay, and only used during spring/summer...

Whilst comparing the specification of various SUV's I looked through the standard spec for a GLC P Plus and at last MB fit a dashcam to the car. I haven't checked whether it's stand-alone or taken from the forward facing camera , but about time this was offered as std or even an extra.

The FRONT 19" MB Turbine alloys on my W205 C250 are 7.5J x19 ET 44 , I'm thinking of buying a set of alloys from a W205 C43 which are 7.5J x 19 ET 33 , tyres are the same size. What problems am I likely to get with the different ET. Any thoughts please.

I bought a bottle of Zymol , at least 10 years ago, and used on a dark blue Audi. Had a hell of a job getting a decent finish so it sat in the cupboard for years. Used it on a Polar white MB and it was easy on/easy off and a great finish. It's now down to the last 30mm and I've been looking to...

All loaded up to go kayaking this morning , and a few miles from the reservoir the engine management light comes on. Pushed the button for MB breakdown and was told to book it into a dealer to check , all OK to drive if no power loss. I'm about 10 miles away from Neyland MB so drove straight...

Listed some car parts on Ebay this week and sold 2 items today. Item 1 was marked "collection only" , because it needs delivering on a pallet, and I got an offer which I accepted. Next message from the buyer " do I deliver to an address 300 miles away , FFS. Item 2 was clearly listed as W205...

Picked up my grandson , 12 years old and built like a greyhound, from school last week and he got into the front seat with his schoolbag still on his back. He then removed his bag, the thing weighs a tonne, and put it on the back seat. About 300 meters later the above message flashed up and from...

Planning to swop out the Artico in my C class for a full leather set. Any recommendations for trimmers within about 150 mile radius of SA32 postcode.

Loaded my kayak on the roof earlier and couldn't quite reach the restraining strap. Opened rear door , stood on the sill and reached over with my right hand whilst my left elbow was pressed against the side of the roof above the rear door. When I got down I noticed a neat 25mm dent where my...

I've been with Aviva for about 6 years and my renewal turned up on Saturday. Premium had gone up from £266 to £341 which I thought was a bit much so rang them to ask why the big difference, no reason given. Started looking around for a new quote and tried a new online quote from Aviva which came...

Somebody mentioned on another forum that you should inform your insurance company if you use a roof rack, any info ??????

I've been browsing the MB used car website for the past few months and as everybody knows , used car prices are just crazy. I've just seen a similar car to mine , exactly the same spec , reg date but admittedly less milage for sale at £30900.00 , mine cost me £31500.00 pre-reg with 50 miles on...

I've had my W205 for over three years but I hadn't realised that if you press the volume control wheel on the centre console, it mutes the music.Learn something new every day.

I had an 85 mile trip to the old Severn Bridge today to collect my new kayak , set off a bit earlier than I needed to meet up with the delivery driver so decided to see what the best mpg the car could achieve.. All motorway miles, didn't exceed the speed limit , there were long stretches of 50...

When I booked my car in for a service today I mentioned that I might have found the source of the rattle in the Pano roof to which the reply was - " I'll make a note of it but won't book it in for diagnostics because they have to lube the roof anyway". Fine I thought. Since they trashed one of...

Am I turning into Victor Meldrew or not. I appreciate that people are allowed to work from home , but how can they, in all conscience go abroad on holiday and still work from home on their return. Surely working from home was to reduce the chances of catching Covid ?

I recently noticed that when braking hard from say 75 - 35 it feels as if the ABS is working, slight pulsing or judder. The car's covered 17,000 miles and the discs and pads seem OK and there doesn't appear to be any uneveness on the discs. Anybody any thoughts please?
