I've owned a C220 CDI Coupe W203 panoramic 52 plate (manual) for over 10 years now and it's looking tired. Although it drives fine and still gives me ~50 mpg, with a young family it's time for an upgrade and a couple of extra doors. The amount I have to spend is ~9k because I do not want to...

Hi to all and many thanks for reading and possibly replying. In my search for a reliable car , I recently tried a W246 B class - sports tourer. I came to the following conclusions about the seats comfort but I would appreciate to have feedback as well. 1. The back seats are very uncomfortable...

Hello Newbie here. I've had a few Mercs as comapny cars and always loved them. Opted out now but am gonna buy one, not going mad and spending about £7-9k. I like CLK and am favouring the AMG styled ones. Any advice on things to look out for welcome. Any issues with that particular model...

Been looking for a nice facelift C63 AMG for around 3 months now... My preferred Spec was, Perf pck, lsd, 19" wheels. Don't mind saloon or coupe... Seen a few nice examples but unfortunately they sold before I could get to them. As of late I haven't seen many nice examples and I'm...

Hi all I am contemplating buying a W111 in Germany,does anyone know what the procedure would be I.e import duties if any, registering, is there a web site that gives the information. Thanks Paul

I had an interesting one today. I turned up to view a car I was considering bidding on, and as always asked for permission to plug an OBD reader in to check for fault codes. The seller refused this, without providing a reason. Needless to say, I walked away; but it made me curious. How...

Dear members, I am replacing a 320 I've had for 13 years with a 350sl around 4-5 yrs old. I would really appreciate any advice members could give me, ie I have heard its a good idea to avoid ABC suspension as it costs around 2k a corner to replace, also I have seen that there might be a problem...

Im looking at buying a diesel c 220 estate on a 2011-2013 2.1 depending on price, its for my wife who does lots of short journeys will the engine play up with this? with DPF filters or such alike? if it could become a problem would blasting down the motorway once a week solve the issue?

Hallo all If there is a sticky somewhere about this please point me at it. I'm looking for my first Merc, 2nd hand. I'm looking at 2007/2008 auto diesel models. I haven't decided on C-Class or E-Class (or even S-Class, ha ha). So I'm seeking general advice on (I suppose) C220's, C250's...

Not that many years ago it was reasonably common for people to nip over to Holland or other EU countries and buy a UK spec new car and drive it back home saving yourself a bundle of cash. In fact my business partner did this with a new golf a few years back. Back then £1 would buy you in the...
