Those interested in both running a new car and in having pretty low running costs, may be interested in figures derived from my brother’s A160cdi Classic SE 3 door manual. I have converted all costs to today’s prices including fuel. In 30,000 miles he has had two services done by the MB...

Hi all, Drove a couple of very pristine C-Class cars today but as might have been expected for someone looking to come from a Cooper S they just felt a little sedate - then I drove a CLK320 Sport :D Well the CLK is a model I've always liked and with prices for excellent low mileage examples...

Has any one converted their car to LPG? I am doing about 20,000 miles a year and am thinking of changing my car to a newer E class and converting it to LPG? I am currently filling the tenk on my E200 every 4 days, do 370 miles and it costs £60. I am keen to hear your views about conversion or a...

Has anybody any idea of the likely service cost of a W211 for dealer services at around 45k miles and 56k miles? I'm assuming that I'll need a spark plug change and that brakes will also have to be done at one of them. (The real question I guess is 'how bad might these reasonably be?' :()

Hi all, I am considering buying a CLK 320 but want to know more about the servicing costs. All I hear is that it's ridiculously high at the main dealers. Does anyone know of good independent garages in the Staffordshire area? What about the price for a basic and full service? Can anyone give...

Hi folks, Anyone know the "service A" costs for the C32 ? Mines due shortly (<1200 miles) and I might need to start saving and scrimping for it. Currently got 55k on the clock and all is well. I might get the gearbox fluid changed at the same time as it appears to be quite "clunky" at the...

Hi all. Does anyone think £460.00 for a standard "b" service is a bit steeeeeep!!! :crazy: this tight yorkshireman does. By the way, it's for a 320clk

Hi, Can anyone give me an idea into the annual costs for the above car? I've got a W220 CDI now and as I do higher than normal miles I allow for 12p per mile plus around £4k, servicing £97+VAT PCM (20k PA basis) and at an average of 28mpg, around 15p a mile for diesel so 20,000 miles costs...

Had an interesting conversation with a Tiscali rep last night who said I could have 2mb broadband (most my line will take:mad: ) unlimited local and national calls to landlines 24/7 for £19.99 a month. He also said their calls to mobiles were 5% cheaper than Tesco (who we are with now) and...

Hi all - This is a strange one. I have my Son's CLK55 sat in the garage waiting for his return from abroad (it's for sale by the way ;) ). he asked me to get it serviced before he returns, so I emailed MB for a quote. A B-type service was quoted at £605 (VAT inc) - so I asked for a...
