Thanks Giantvanman and BlackC55. I'll find a local welder. Any ideas how much this type of repair weld costs? It's a hairline 1 inch long crack running perpendicular from the rim edge.

Hi All I have a 2005 CLS. I had what appeared to be a slow puncture. I took it to a tyre place and they couldn't find a puncture but on taking the wheel off found a 1 inch crack on the inside edge of the rim and they believe air is thus seeping from the tyre. I assume this is wear and tear...

Hi cliveBRABUS, I've tried to email you, not sure if it worked as apparently you need to have posted 30 times to pm, which I haven't. Any chance if you don't receive my mail that you can try to pm me? Cheers.

Thanks Dieselman. Now that's a good comment cliveBRABUS, what was I thinking? ;) Although I have recently gone to an MB dealer for an issue my indie couldn't solve as he needed extra kit and got good service! If panels have moved as opposed to just dents and scrapes, I assume that is a...

Hi All My 2005 CLS has a couple of areas on the interior that need attention. The driver's interior door handle is plastic, covered in a chrome finished plastic veneer to give it the look of being metallic. There is also a similar coating on a button of a lid on the centre console. Both...

Hi All I had a prang in my 2005 CLS, fortunately no-one hurt. I was doing about 5mph and a Nissan Micra doing about 30mph drove across the front of me. The result was a dent in the Micra which wouldn't allow the driver's door to open. My number plate cracked in two and fell off and my bumper is...

Thanks JohnEBoy. Well all seems OK at the moment so the update has worked by the look of it. Thanks for your comments

JohnEBoy, yes the dealer wouldn't budge even when I gave them the contact at the other dealer to call, so I just said fine I'll drive 30 miles further. The idea re: the counter is an excellent one! Seems an easy thing to but obviously not worth the cost given MB have now pulled the SBC system...

Hi All, I'm pleased to report that the software update was completed by the MB dealer and went through successfully at no cost, so all solved. What I don't understand is why the other MB dealer 30 miles away wanted to charge me £68 just to plug the car into STAR and this neighbouring dealer did...

Thanks for your comments everyone. It's interesting I took my car into an MB dealer to get the SBC software update completed. Unfortunately the update froze and could not be completed so I was told to go back another day. My business took me 35 miles away so I gave all the details of what had...

Dear All I wonder if anyone has recently been through negotiating price on a replacement SBC unit after having the 'Service Brake - Visit Workshop' message/issue? I had a failed software update and am visiting MB for next steps today. Is MB currently doing any FOC or offering goodwill...

Hi All New here, I hope someone can help. I have a 2005 CLS which needs a service. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good independent please near Taunton or Bridgwater, in Somerset? I've heard Jacks in Taunton is a good garage, any views on this, or any other comments? Thanks
