1st

So I turned up at Derby MB this morning for my cars 1st service. Without going into the long story telling of the exact conversation i'll just summarise : My car reg not right (something with 61 reg quoted) My car model not right (A class) Advised of my 'quotation' of £310 for the service...

I just wanted to say a big thank you to MSL for working on w124 had lowering springs fitted and new shocks and a service. I will definitely be visiting again with all my merc related issues and the added bonus is they are on my doorstep.:thumb: Acid excellent customer service and after care...

Just ordered the KW DDC Kit with the special offer that Acid (MSL) was running. So hopefully this will remove the well know "lightness" that the C63 suffers from at "higher speeds". Looking forward to seeing it lowered approximately 10mm and it will definatley be a novelty and a "new toy" to...

Hi all, I have just bought my first Mercedes, its a C180 Elegance from 1995. I think it's also known as a W202 but not really sure as I'm not that clued up on the range. Hopefully, there's a pic of it below. Auto box, 101,000 miles with tax and MOT

Ok one of the "niggles" on the car is this... As you look at the Dash Cluster, on the right there is a button with R on it...I beleave this resets the trip etc... In the exact same place but oposite (as in mirror position) I have a hole...2mm ish..I beleave its not just a button but also a...

32Gb, wi-fi only. Good condition, with fold over case. £110 ono including P&P.

Hey, 1st post here as I'm looking for my 1st ever petrol car. I'm almost 27 years old and have been driving Diesels. Currently in a BMW 335D E92 (coupe) and have modified it heavily. I'm fortunate enough now.. to have a small window for about a year or so, to have something silly and...

So, I love my 500sec so far, everything apart from the transmission. It starts off in 2nd by default. It would have been great if it was a super-smooth limo or big luxury sedan (which is what Benz engineers was thinking when they designed that transmission no doubt) but in a small nimble...

hi, I,m a newbe,just got my first Mercedes(very old slk320)and I wish I,d got one years ago.....amazing machine!! by the way thanks for the stickers now proudly displayed

Anyone interested in a Meet & Drive on the 1st Sept? I was thinking we could first meet at clackett services (west bound) Then we could head along the M25 to Leatherhead and then head south to Worthing. I will try and find somewhere new for us to have some lunch but if I can't find...

Got to give a big thumbs up to Andy at PCD.... did quite a lot of work on my E55.. w211 and the guy knows his stuff!!! expected the bill to a bit of a biggy (£1500)... but in comparison to Mercedes and my local garage, I have no doubt it would have been much more.... service was great and...

This is my c63 i picked up 2 weeks ago! Had red becouse everyone seams to buy white and dont think black shows the shape of the AMG and just looks more like a normal c class!

Hi All, My car is due in for its first service in 2 weeks after doing around 10k over 12 months. The garage phoned me to book it in on a very busy day in work so I wanted them off the phone ASAP so when they asked if I wanted the 'Fuel Injectors' cleaned and the Air Con 'reconditioned with an...

This section of the forum will celebrate it's 1st Birthday on Saturday 8th and with 6,000+ posts is going strong :bannana: Thanks to Vin for agreeing to create a separate section :thumb:

Hi all, My nice little B Class must be reaching its first birthday because it has started showing a '1st service' warning on the dash, service is due in aboiut 3 weeks. Mine is a motability vehicle, so I will ring the dealer and make an appointment. Being burdened with an enquiring mind I...

hi, i have a 1995 c36 amg, i just changed the head gasket and the car has developed a problem. when i accelerate(wot) from a stand still the car makes a strange noise like a big v8 and is quite slow. however this only happens in first gear, if i accelerate(wot) and the car shifts to second it...

Thought i'd do a comparison between my cls & it's replacement E350cdi on my daily run into London & back(dropping my mrs to work),same route every morning,5.45am start & exactly an hours roundtrip of 26 miles,mixture of 30mph single lane & 40mph carriageways-cls used to average between 20.8 &...

Hello everyone, This is my 1st post, i've been prompted to join by searching for advise while I am closing in on my 1st MB. I love the styling of the C Class which has pulled me away from 'the other lot':eek:. Anyway, I had the 220 manual in mind (one of the sports variants under 18...
