Can the collective give me an indication of the effect of adding miles to our E320CDI in tgerms of its value? I have a fair bit of travelling to do for a work project in the next few months and it got me wondering about the cost of this in relation to depreciation on the car. It is a 2006 S211...

I've had a search around old posts for windscreen replacement, but I couldn't find the answer to this, so apologies if I missed it. Does anyone know how much MB charge for a genuine OEM replacement windscreen for a W203 C Class? My windscreen developed a crack from a chip I hadn't noticed (it...

Just back from MB World as our eldest two had driving experiences booked. Have to say a very impressive set up and it was the perfect thing to do on a ruddy awful day. Cars that caught my eye were a E reg 560sec in gold and a E36 W124 cabrio in red with a hard top both in superb condition...

Just had an email from Mercedes about 'My Service' and how Mercedes are changing the way they do things in an attempt to offer better value. There are four choices when booking a service. LITE. This is where you drop your car off, 8am to 10am and collect after 4pm. LOUNGE. This is where you...

Was very surprised to find out yesterday that the cost of a pair of front discs for the cars above (same part number) is a mere £130. However, the front brake pads per pair is £340! Even so, £470 for front discs and pads on an AMG ain't too bad. We have 8 piston calipers .. with 360mm...
