Agreed a price for the purchase of my lease A Class. Part of the deal was it went back to dealer for MOT, Service etc. before they could sell it to me as used Merc with warranty fair enough. One of the things listed was Stargard - ok fair enough crack on if you want. Like I said I was give a...

Dealer has postponed my booking. Looks I might be close to 1000 miles over by the time. Its leased via mercedes finance. Any idea what the allowance is? Before they moan when I take it back next year.

Made a bit of a mistake today. Bought 4 tyres then realised the cars going back in 13 months.... Checking the lease agreement it said vehicle has to be returned with "premium" tyres. Obviously, I dont want to be driving around for a year with these mid-range ones then have to shell out £500 for...

Tipped paint - luckily its not gloss. Difficult to get to it around the seat runners. Is it possible to get the seat out at all?

Bit difficult to find this info..... Is there a set interval or is there a way to tell how many miles before its due? i.e. service indicator

Brand new A180 Sport Exec. Used twice. Twice its directed me to an area about a mile away from where the actual postcode is. Its so bad that you can't rely on it - better to use google maps on your phone. Surely Mercedes can't make a sat nav that bad?

Impossible to get at IMHO.... Really winds me up that its so difficult these days to change something like a bulb. Should be a 10 minute job. Passenger side. Other bulbs not so bad but this is impossible. Wondering if its easier to take headlight unit out completely? (Used to have an...

Same stalk as wiper controls (this bit works fine). But the push forward/pull back for normal/high beam is broken. Both settings are full beam. Only way to turn full beam off is to nudge the stalk forward a little. Trouble is go over a bump. Any ideas? Complete new stalk needed? Or just...

Even on this early a model?

And I've only got one. Seems to be the bit on the circuit board that contacts the batteries has snapped off. Managed somehow (it half worked for a bit) to get the alarm turned off. Now I'm able to lock the other doors manually from inside then get out and use the key to lock driver door...

Some idiot flying through the lanes. I'd actually stopped because I could see this idiot coming. Hit my mirror. Glad to say theirs shattered into a thousand pieces. Best thing was I stopped they stopped. Went to speak to the driver, then went back to move my car (blocking road a little) and...

OK, so it looks like I need to get this fixed. But in the meantime, what effect is it having? Im assuming since the airflow is not being measured correctly its having an effect on fuel mixture so affecting performance and mpg? If so how badly - doesnt seem too bad at the moment....

Which is the MAF sensor I believe. Garage has tried cleaning it to no avail. They mentioned replacing some air filter part that can cause it also (£70). Surely though if anything has caused a problem with the MAF sensor then replacing another part now is too late since its the MAF thats...

Been on since I had to jump-start the car which I understand can happen on the merc. (BTW - its a 2001 A160). Bought an OBD reader off ebay and there was a fault code. Managed to clear this. Trouble is today its back - first time I used the car. Couple of questions:- 1. Is Check engine...

Any idea where to find? Assume it has one?

Seems to be some sort of plastic cover. Few inches wide. Hanging down under engine. What is it? Seems to clip back up but doesnt stay....

Pull the red handle and nothing. I can sort of reach under and feel cable still attached but its not tight by any means. Assuming its either snapped or come loose at the far end? Any ideas for:- 1. Getting bonnet open temporarily. 2. Fixing this.

Tried to start car the other day - battery flat. Called AA who came out and got it started. They checked it all and said, battery fine, and its charging well. So I assumed I'd left the lights on or something. Today, flat again. Definitely not left anything on this time. So, is it:-...

Wife not used for about two months. Battery was completely flat. Jump started it with portable charger. But light is now on. Is this normal considering its not been used? Also, how far to drive to charge battery?

Had AC refilled and it worked fine for a few months. Now it appears to have stopped working again. Any ideas? I'm guessing:- 1. I have a leak and its all leaked out again? 2. Compressor? 3. Fuse - is there a separate blower/AC fuse?
