Hey folks, Ok so after chasing Mercedes Benz Customer service & getting the garage to take photos Ive finally got a decision out of them. They're offering 51% good will. Claiming its a failure but not a warranty failure. or not a manufacturing fault. Thats leaving me with a £250 bill. Anyone...

Hey, just seen this reply, been busy getting married haha. Thanks. I'll challenge them on it then. Worth calling Me about it maybe? As in, any way I can get confirmation from a higher power? Haha Thanks again

Hey Folks, I wonder if anyone can help here with info... So ive noticed smooth patches on the left hand back support of the driver's seat (W204). The car was in for a service today and the garage has actually admitted that the damage to the leather has been caused by the heated seat...

Turns out it was a shock absorber. They replaced it under warranty so all good again. :)

How much mate? The site wants you to sign up to see the price. Ta

Found some documentation. Its a Tier 1 warranty so that should be fine eh? Ill call the dealership today and see if I can get it into them. Cheers for the quick reply Markjay

Hey folks, So I took the car to Islay and Jura at the weekend and after a particularly long, heavily patched road Im hearing a noise when going over any bumps. Kind of like a brick bouncing about in a plastic box...:dk: I am guessing this might be a broken spring but not sure and no idea...

Ive heard Carbonite is quite good yeah. I opted for CrashPlan over it as I used their software for a local PC backup before moving to their online backup service. Windows Azure backup is still in preview though and its mainly aimed at servers I believe. Not really suitable for a laptop Id...

I use Crashplan. Its backup software. For $60/year (£40), you get unlimited storage online. Its great. Its US based so their other services arent available in the UK -- like "Back it up fast" - send them a hard drive copy. Or fast recovery when they send you a hard drive full of your backed up...

Hey, as I said im coming into this a bit late. Its my dad thats been working on it so Im not 100% sure what exactly has been done. I know he has properly prepared the surface, applied the paint then applied several layers of the clear coat. When I say Dull finish its more of a Matt effect. We'll...

Hey,these are sold now. Had an email from earlier. Maybethe buyer will post here to sell on again once they're finished? Ta

I think it was shiny before the clear coat. Im only getting involved after the fact but I can ask him :) Cheers! thats great advice! Im a bit stumped on all the abbreviations but ill have a google. Thanks

Hey, I wonder if someone can offer some expert advice here. Quick version: My dad has a dark blue Lexus and there was an accident with a pillar. Anyway, he's built out the damage, sanded it, primed it and now painted it with the colour & clear coat over the top (not sure how many coats)...

I do, yeah. You want them? Drop me an email with your address and if you wanna send money through paypal? (if thats easiest)? I'll pop them in the post tomorrow for you? Cheers [email protected]

So I followed the Throttle reset procedure. There was no indication that it worked or completed or anything. By going on feel, I dont think it has worked, or its not made a difference. I had 2 situations at roundabouts where I was left lulling halfway out of the junction for a few seconds before...

Magic! ordered :) hope theres no catch lol Thanks btw

No that sounds spot on with my experience. I believe that pressing the pedal to the floor (though not beyond the wee click point where it will red-line all gears) makes the car want to drop down a gear, hence the further lag. Ill try the reset as weve only had it for a month and the previous...

Cool - Ill look into the throttle reset. Why would that be needed though? & why does it only last a short time? Ill maybe just swing by the garage on saturday then, ask them about the updates. Thanks tons :) I havent been to it no. Not been to Mazotos either. It seems my family done all the...

Ah, I cant imagine that would improve MPG though eh haha. Ill take a look. Ta My god mother & her family are from Famagusta but have been in Larnaca since the invasion. My parents now have a house in Avgorou. Been going over for about 28 years.
