Hi there, I've been quoted £290 to replace the front discs and pad on my CLK 350 Sport W209) with Jurid discs and pads by a local indie. I've noticed I can get the discs for about £70 each and pads would bring this to less than £200. Do you feel say £90 is reasonable for labour..seems a lot...

Hello everyone, first post on this site so bear with me! :D Quick couple of questions. I am thinking about getting a C63 2011 or more recent (my dream beast). I wanted to know what sort of money ill be paying for Fuel. I do around 600 miles a month all mainly through towns and very rarely...

Hi all, I'm helping a friend find a new merc and he has taken a close interest in a 2005 CLK 200, 1.8, 60k miles. However, he is on a budget and can't really afford sky-high running costs. Does anybody know the costs of MOT/ servicing for such a car? Also, are many things likely to go...

Hi, I have an E220 2012 as a taxi. Just bought two weeks ago 36K miles. I have a 1 year warranty and 400/ yr after that. If I use a local mechanic to service my car it voids the warranty. Could I possibly afford to stay with MB for servicing ? ( I would like to but have always thought their...

Being new to Mercedes I would be grateful if anyone can give me an idea of servicing costs on a new C Class 250 Bluetec, tried to talk to a Mercedes dealer servicing Dept but they said could on quote on vehicles on the system (something mine is not yet), As I am trying to find out if a monthly...

Hi Just out of interest what do people pay for there warranty's after the 3 year Mercedes Benz one runs out?

Hi, the engine wasn´t starting smoothly and a little smoke from the engine cover so went into the local Merc independant here in Valencia. They said it was the injector seat and that an injector would need replaced , the others cleaned. I may have driven it 500km from noticing this fault but...

Any A45 owners on here can help me out? What are the typical costs for pads/discs etc for these? From both MB directly and also alternative suppliers such as ECP etc? ECP don't seem to have anything for the A45 at the moment, just after an idea of potential costs for some wear and tear...

I'm getting both front inner and outer tie/track rods fitted at the weekend and a full geometry set up done front and back because the existing ones are seized solid and the alignment needs doing. I'm supplying the parts and the same place who are doing the geometry set up are doing the rest of...

I don't know if this has already been discussed. I've only just seen it. Diesel car drivers 'betrayed' as EU cracks down on Britain over air pollution - Telegraph According to yesterday's Times, diesel car pollution is 25 times the legal limit :eek: Diesel car pollution is 25 times...

Hello all, I'm new on here and seeking some advice. Basically I have been looking at w210 e55's. I have reached an age where I can afford to buy and insure one, and the want to own a big V8 won't go away. And for me AMG's just have something special, and the old w210 has aged well, and now...

Do all main dealers work to a standard price list, or are there variations worth phoning around for? My car needs it's first Service A and my local (big chain) dealer wants a kidney. No surprises, I researched before I bought but I'd like to do the best I can now the day is near. And, does...

Hi Guy's, At fear of being slammed for asking another question that gets raised all of the time I apologise in advance (I have done various searches and found lots of useful info on the dreaded black death). I am currently looking (possibly stupidly- given the horror stories and some peoples...

Does anyone know roughly how much the engine mounts are for a CLK 230 Kompressor W208 from the dealer?

Hi all, I'm new to the forum, looking to place an order this week for a C250d coupe. My question relates to service costs. The dealer has quoted £36/month. I plan to keep the car for 3 years then change. My question, is £36/month value for money? Would it cost me more than £432/yr to...

My CLK was serviced yesterday. Other jobs needed doing too, so after adding 5 hours of labour, the total came to £707 which was a bit of a shock! Just out of interest, I wondered if any indies out there could advise me on the parts prices. I have always trusted the indie I used and certainly...

I'm thinking of changing to an ML63, any owners on here who can advise me? I'm used to running AMG vehicles and presently run a 2005 CLS55. Any noticeable differences? Colin.

I'm aware there are a few options as to levels of cleaning / restoration / repairation of paintwork etc, but does anyone have a guide as to ballpark costs for the various works? I'm keen to maximise and protect my black SL, but I want to get a decent base detail (whatever that is) done...
