    Just Insured C63 Cheaper Than 520d!

    My renewal is coming up and it is looking like I am going to be going with Mercedes Insurance!!!!!! Since when did the dealers become an option????? Have been with LV for years for the C63 and previously the C43 but this year they have rocketed!!!!!

    Tyres - sorry! Goodyear Aysmmetric 5

    Michelins all the way for the C63, need as much grip as possible as mine will light up just joining the motor way from a slip road. Had Continentals on my old C43 but they were not as good as the Michelins.

    Internals differnce?

    I looked at the Brabus page, the B40-600, it looked a tad expensive initially but then when you consider the warranty is not invalidated then it doesn't look such a bad deal!

    Internals differnce?

    Thanks for the info Unimog, it is what I thought but wasn't 100%. So once the car is out of warranty (over two years though), putting a map on her to 580BHP is not going to be an issue on the internals.

    Internals differnce?

    Just wondering if anyone can tell me if there is any difference in the 4Ltr Bi-turbo M177 and M178 engines internally ie is the M178 got stronger internals to allow for the extra BHP or are the internals the same. I realise that the turbos are different. cheers - ferg

    E350 recall

    Took it to Merces of Ayr....... a long story but I would not recommend this dealer to anyone, I would not even trust them to check my screenwash! A long story but since the car has been butchered by them it has been traded in for a Range Rover Sport for my wife. The only thing I will grant them...

    E350 recall

    Have a read!!!! I am extremely annoyed with Mercedes about this and have now had a courtesy car for nearly a fortnight while they work out how to get the wifes MPG back to where it was. They stated in the recall letter that the fuel consumption would not be effected!!! Diesel Software Update

    Diesel Software Update

    On the exact same run, my missis was getting 40+mpg prior to this update and now is lucky to squeeze 32mpg. Compare this to her using my C63 and getting 33mpg on the exact same run!!!! Really, a C63 is more economical than a GLE250!!!!!! And we are to accept that! Interestingly, the wife has...

    GLE Software update

    Seems unbelievable that they can take a customers car, that was running fine, and re-flash the software and expect you to accept the reduction in MPG. Don't get me wrong, we never bough the car for its economy but they cannot expect a customer to standby and accept losing 25% of their mpg! It...

    GLE Software update

    HI all, The wifes GLE was recalled end November for a software update. Car was in the MB dealer for a day. When she got it back she noted that the start/stop wasn't kicking in very often. After about ten days of driving she noted that here over all MPG had plummetted from 40mpg to struggling...

    My wife and my car!

    Exactly the same as me and the wife. It can be raining snowing and I'll be cleaning the car...... I can't stand going out in a dirty car. Even under the bonnet must be cleaned and polished.

    Command

    I've got the manual as per the link but I have HERMES installed but dont want to use it. When in the connectivity menu as described in the manual, the instructions don't match the menus as there is no "internet settings " menu. So is there another way of doing it?
