    Courtsey cars supplied by MB dealers

    I'm currently in a 65 plate C220cdi SE supplied by my local MB dealer as mine is in for repairs at the moment. Is it just my local MB dealer or is it all MB dealers...the courtesy car I have been given is poorly maintained. I get it that the car I have been given is a courtesy car with will...

    Why buy new diesel cars?

    I know this has been discussed within many other threads, but I still fail to understand why people continue to buy new diesel powered cars. I'm not really interested in whether or not they cost less to run (debatable) or provide greater torque (not something that most drivers will appreciate)...

    Drag race with some of the best AMG cars...

    Hi everyone, Just seen this youtube video doing a drag race with all current AMG cars - interesting to see how they perform at the start and finish line. I won't say more, but was impressed with the A45amg... Video just released by Matt from carwow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-HAJ9x70HE

    I'm absolutely devastated, both our cars smashed up.

    So tonight a dirt bike stopped outside our house, guys came in the garden with an axe and a bat and smashed my Merc and her Insignia up. Pretty much every window, pretty much every panel. What will happen with insurance as mine is pretty rare, and I think they'd struggle to find like for...

    Courtesy Cars Are Good For You

    Now, some of this is obvious, but stay with me. Service time for the E63, the car I drive day in, day out, so I drop the car and pick up the service manager's GLC 4matic. It's a nice change, I think to myself, as I drive off the forecourt - high driving position, giving excellent...

    Polishing Black Cars - a slightly "left field" approach

    Having been plied with a gourmet meal and copious amounts of alcohol, it appears I "volunteered" to detail my next door neighbour's new-to-him 8-month old Kia Sportage or should that be "Sportard" :D The Phantom Black metallic paint was in surprisingly good condition with evidence of only...

    Mercedes Autonomous Cars

    Interesting approach by Mercedes to the dilemma of who to save with self driving/controlling cars. For those that do not know theregister, just be aware that it is often tongue in cheek but usually factually correct. Mercedes answers autonomous car moral dilemma: Yeah, we'll just run over...

    Redex - Experience of its use on older cars

    My car will be 16 years old in March and I was considering using Redex. The engine is a 3.2 litre V6 petrol. Any good/bad experiences of its use out there?

    Are cars going to be reliable when they're old?

    I was out with a mate who works for a well known car hire firm delivering vehicles. They do a lot of courtesy cars for prominent car manufacturers. Quite an eye opener just how many cars have problems. So, probably covered this before but when people like myself can afford one of these cars...

    AMG GTS tested against other sports cars - great videos

    Hi gents, I thought you might be very interested in watching these videos (quality is really good, made me think that these guys would be much better than the new top gear team IMO)... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7SuBv6vf4Y&list=PLGvTvFzdMg_NhD2PTEHfli18aDuwlOdKH&index=14...

    Getting used to powerful cars.

    So I recently acquired an E92 M3 to accompany my Caterham on the track and I've been driving it around for a few days, I hadn't used my E63 for a couple of weeks, but jumping back into it today made me realise just how brutally powerful it is and how easy it just hurls itself at the horizon...

    Dealer says B service, car says E service ?

    Asked dealer about prices when I was in there yesterday, he told me to go on My Service. So my car says E service in 1500 miles but when I put details into my service it says B service which it would do for £762:eek: So who's correct ? Lee
