decision

Hi all, I am about to purchase my first ever Mercedes having previously been driving BMW or Audi. I've decided to go for a new E-Class coupe and am considering upgrading to the 20" alloy wheels. I've heard that the ride can be a little firmer but is there anything else I should be...

My custom gearshift handle is almost ready - the leather part and the carbon fibre hydrographic parts are done. The only question remaining - which top to go for? Rather surprisingly, the silver AMG top looks very much 'in place', and the black MB star ... not quite? Opinions? BTW...

Hello! Wanted to introduce myself as I am a new member and will be buying my first AMG within the next few weeks. Current cars are a Range Rover Sport and an e46 M3. Both are now for sale to make way for something different! Was torn between the M4 and the C63 AMG (2014 V8 of course)...

Following on from this thread http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/general-discussion/200976-tell-me-about-owning-range-rover.html a big thank you to all who participated making it enjoyable and informative. Without further ado, the decision was confirmed this morning and on the eighteenth, we will...

Hi All I've had an SLK AMG 55 since the beginning of this summer and really enjoy it but just lately have felt the need for it to be a little louder under acceleration and at tickover whilst not being too much louder on a motorway cruise. So - I am looking at an X pipe conversion at CKS...

Well the lease is just about up on my C63 507 estate, so it’s time to decide if I keep the car or trade for a new AMG C63 estate. My take on this is: I’ve had a test drive in the new car and my thoughts were its quick, the exhaust note was great, it handled well, the interior was very...

So the C250 cdi coupe goes back in December after 2 years and I have enjoyed it. A couple of regrets were rushing into it and not considering any options and just getting a standard AMG sport which basically comes with nothing! I am going to get the new C250 saloon W205 Amg line next and...

I just realised i might have made a wrong order. I acquired some days ago a Brabus D6 chip for my CLS 320cdi,and thought of renewing engine and transmission fluids and filters together with the D6 installation. So i ordered 10lt of "Castrol Edge fst turbo diesel 5w40" oil for the engine and...

So, it's getting to that time where 100,000 miles is only a year or two away on the C55 and I may want to think about getting rid of it. It's also got to that time where an estate or similar would be very useful for transporting bikes with the kids, etc. Something the C55 saloon is useless at...

Hello all. I would like to find out what you would do. I need to get a new fuel pump. The car is 25 years old and I plan to hang on to her for another 3 or 4 years .... Just got a quote from my local dealer and the current price is £220.- incl vat. Ouch !! ECP sells one for around £55.- but...

Hi all, I have a 2003 e270cdi W211 with an faulty SBC. Tried getting a free fix from MB but no luck. They quoted approx £2300. Even a good indy garage wants £1500 to replace. So am faced with the decision of whether to sell the car and put the £2300 towards the cost of a newer one or pay up...

Hi, The painful time is fast approaching to replace the rubber on my 2001 W210 E55 AMG. Might only do the rears for now as the fronts look as though they may hang in there for a couple more thousand miles. Seeing as there is only a £10 or £15 difference between Michelin Pilot Sport 3 and...

Hello chaps, Must confess to above description of my behaviour, swapped my 208 CLK 200 k for ...wait for it A169 a class 180 CDI avantgard, first impressions ECONOMY (55mpg +), surprising pleasant drive(slight "bucking" to ride excepted), without to much abuse any comments from you wordly...

Hello everyone, looks like a great site with lots of information.. I am lucky enough to be ordering my first MB as a company car.. I have these two cars in mind, I am looking to pick them up from the pool list as MB messed up my first order and got the specs wrong, managed to cancel last...

Dear All My Agility agreement is about to come to an end and the big decision time has now arrived: 1. shall I keep the car and pay the ballon payment (only £13k which I can finance myself); or 2. renew my contract and get a new car. I have been scratching my head with this and my wife...

I must be one of the worst people in the world for making decisions regarding cars. First I can't choose a model and then I can't decide on spec. Ok, this is where I'm at. I have ordered a c63 estate for April delivery. I am leaning towards magnetite black with black and porcelain interior...

Note this post isn't in the "other marques" section. I've got a great deal, I've used a tactic never used before and it worked. I've bought an MB from a jag dealer with a jag warranty - odd but should be ok I now (or soon will have) the most powerful version of the 6.2 Engine I'm a...

Hi All, Am new here - hello! - and seeking some advice, as I can't make my mind up! And when I do searches I come across this excellent forum. I have a 2004 E Class estate 320cdi Avantgarde with 7 seats. It has been mostly great for last 6 years and now has just clocked 100,000 miles. It...

I've just being to the dearlership for paint warranty work on a 2003 c class to both the front wings, (runs out in April) they said its easier to fit new ones to both sides, great I thought, now i've had the decision back, they want 50% customer contribution L/H £370.85, 50% customer...
