My 03 E320 petrol was due for a B service @58k. However the brake fluid & plugs [12] would need changing @ 60k, so I decided that due to the age of the car, I would use a local Nissan garage that I have had used before, to give it a major service inc. the brake fluid & plugs. It also had a...

I have just bought a W212 E350 CDI saloon for my wife from the main dealer in Edinburgh. Now, normally I check everything like a hawk but this time I didn't. All the tyres on the car said Continental and have plenty of tread depth but, on closer inspection when we got the car home, one of them...

Hi I've always maintained my own cars once they've reached the end of their warranty but this is the first 'prestige' brand I've owned so was a bit reluctant to not keep up the full MB service history to date. As the car is now 10 years old I suppose most of the depreciation has been taken...

Hi all, My best mates dad is looking at possibly a new GLA or and X4. Does anyone know of a friendly Merc dealer? Trying to talk him into the Merc!! Cheers! Tom

Having owned our little MB for only about 7-8 months ive not had the pleasure of visiting a main dealer until today. Over the months ive read many horror stories on here about how various things have gone wrong, or the appalling service people have recieved, so had mixed thoughts but decided to...

I don't know what it is but every time I take my car for a service or repair I get annoyed. 1st they broke my arial off but never said anything before I pointed it out. 2 nd they damaged the seal on a MOT ,didnt say anything, 3rd I was short of 2 liters on engine oil. So asked myself s it worse...

As my username suggests, Im very much a newbie in the world of Mercedes, and even having a brand new car. My E220 Mercedes is a '15' plate, so a month or so away from its 1 year anniversary. The Service A due indicator has now come up, so debating whether I am better off taking to a dealer...

Hi All I'm looking at a car at the moment which claims to have a FMBSH until two most recent in 2014/2015 The seller has simply a sheet with mileage a and dates , no stamped book or no invoices I contacted a MB dealer servicing dept who I know has services the car in 2013 and they...

Some of what follows has been discussed in a technical thread. This narrative brings the story up to date with a further development and asks the question: what do you do when an M-B authorised repairer turns out to be a nightmare and there's no easy alternative? The car in question is a 2003...

Hi guys, the time has almost come for my C300h to have its first service done. Given its relatively low mileage (below 10k), all is needed is an A-service, which as far as I can understand is just a bit more than an oil change. Since this is my first MB, I have a few "newbie" questions: 1) Is...

I intend to take out a service plan for my C220, can anyone recommend a decent dealer to carry out the service when it's due in or around London. I have looked over lots of posts and cannot seem to find any recommendations.

Hi I am thinking about buying an e350 bluefficiency sport coupe on either a 2012 or 2013 plate, my questions are... Should I get a low mileage, 21000miles, or one that has done, say, 45000 miles. As long as it has a full mb service history will it matter? Is there any work on it that should've...

Hi, Wanting a bit of advice. I have a good understanding of what you get when purchasing an approved used car from a main franchised dealer. Your paying top dollar for a good car with warranties etc. I have also purchased from private sellers before. Again, i understand the buyer beware...

Patience has never been a strong point so the dealer sent me some pics to keep me going until March 1st :bannana:

Hi all, Had the car serviced at main dealer last Friday. It was a 3 year service at 29250 miles so required the gearbox oil and filter changing as well as the A service and air filter. Their computer was "down" so the sat nav didn't get updated which I needed doing. My 485 odd mile...

Seeing as the Audi dealership is right next door to the MB dealership I went in there as well. New Audi A4 , had a quick sit inside after having a double take on the outside , is it the new model ???? No wonder there are so many new "C" classes about , in a dark greeny grey it was the most...

I have a 2011 W218 CLS running what I think is Comand 4.5. I'm constantly frustrated by the routing and TMC features - TMC seems to be very slow to update, and then tells me of traffic when I've hit it (er, thanks). A colleague's BMW system is 100 time better in this regard. - It seems a...

I know it's a long shot, but does anyone have a 1980s classic with an original Dicksons of Perth dealer sticker in the rear window that they could take a photo of?

Pensioner gets £85,000+ payout after Porsche dealer sold ?his? car Justice has been done... eventually :thumb:

Hi, Had my 2 yr old B220 cdi on a B service. I was charged over £100 for the engine oil alone. Is that normal? My 2010 ML350 CDI blue efficiency is due the service in a few days and noticed it had an 8.5 litre capacity and did not want to get spanked in the same manner by purchasing the...
