decisions

Dear mbclubbers! Let me introduce myself. My name is Captain Twinky, and over the last five years or so, I've flitted between German and Jap cars. I owned a C180 some years ago and really liked it. It wasn't very fast but the interior was nice and it was a really comfortable and reliable car...

I have maybe just this weekend to decide if I want to add the Head up Display to my 350e. What does anyone think about this option, waste of money or must have extra ?

I have always owned run of the mill cars, my last two being Mondeo's but now I have ordered a C200 sport petrol automatic. Decision 1/ I always pay cash and ideally keep cars for around 5 years but Mercedies are doing an offer if the car was bought with finance. I went via a broker but the...

I just cant make my mind up.....:confused: Which should I buy?

A month or so ago I was debating on having a new SL , trading in my 2 Mercedes cars for it..... But after driving past the jaguar dealer in Shrewsbury I'm now Tempted by the new f type cab !!! But my allegiance is Mercedes !!! Always said I'd never have a jaguar , but now I'm not sure !!! Lol...

Hi, I have just joined here, I am currently looking for a new car, I have test driven a 2009 C320 cdi estate and love it, my wife loves the car too but isn't sure on driving it as she hasn't driven an automatic before and the handbrake is all a bit different to what she is used to. Anyway, could...

I have a glow plug that's stuck in my CLK CDI 2005, I have took it to my independent who tried to remove it and couldn't. they told me its better to leave it than attempt to take it out and break it. They could use a third part to remove it....... They also said that its not really an issue when...

Hi. I'm looking to get a CLK for the better half, I want to get a diesel Auto. They seem to have a variety of engines, 200, 220, 270, which one makes more sense for fuel efficiency, power, issues etc. Is there anything I need to focus on, which version and year would be recommended. There's no...

Hi All After many years of VAG ownership I have decided it's time to break away from the dull drums of Audi and VW ownership and join the three pointed club :) I'm aware that the E Class Convertible facelift is imminent and this is leading to quite a few good deals out there. Well I think...

Did some serious car shopping this weekend and have narrowed it down to two cars. E350CDI COUPE - White 330D M SPORT - ??? Estoril Blue??? Haggled both down to some seriously good deals, less so on the BM but as it is a new car, to be expected. I do 30k miles a year so running costs factor...

Ok, well I'd be interested to hear people's thoughts.....apart from gIzzE who's already "in the loop" and probably sick and tired of my emails!!! :o Situation is I have narrowed down my requirement to a C class estate auto. This will give me some useful added space and practicality, while not...

I'm new to all of this Mercedes Benz stuff. I've got myself a Ford F150 and my wife has a Ford Fiesta. We're looking to buy a Mercedes Benz but we arent sure about what year and which are better on mileage. I've been to many places searching but nothing has really helped me decide. Im looking...

V Class, Vito, Viano? Basically need one of the above to ferry 7 people and luggage, something newer than an 02 plate ideally and not been to the moon and back but.... Don't know which one to go for, have seen v-class and space was ok but heard a few horror stories about mechanicals. Also...

OK, so SWMBO has thrown me a curved ball! :D I think my heart knows the answer, but just out of curiosity, which option would you guys choose... :) 1. Chop 211 and Saab for CLS and keep newly acquired Celica (for fun and urban warrior duties!) 2. Keep 211 and chop Saab and Toyota for...

It's getting towards the time when I could do with something bigger than the Cupra. At the moment I have the usual suspects shortlisted: 530d/730d Sport (can't get on with SE interior) E320cdi (and an Accord Tourer as an outside choice at a cheaper price) I don't mind whether it's saloon...

Well I keep drooling over Mercs especially having had one for my hols and loved the sense of occasion when sitting in it and driving it. Well after speaking yet again to swmbo she says "just get what you want".I thought I knew what I wanted but now I have no idea. I love the W124...

I love my 2004 W209 CLK 200 Avantgard Cabriolet but I do find occasionally that it lacks the necessary grunt. As I see it, I have two options Chop it in for a model with a larger engine. Get it chipped, remapped or whatever you call it. The first option is clear and would cost me a lot of...

Just been to the bodyshop this morning to pick up SWMBO Puma, as you will recall we decided to get the paint done and kep the car another few years. Well I got quite a shock this morning, Firstly the car is immaculate they have done a stunning job, so well pleased with that. But a guy was...

Evening all, Nearly tyre time, got a choice of Bridgestone Turanzas and Conti SportContact2's. Anyone had experience with either, or both? :confused:

Okay so here are the parameters... I'm approaching 40 and 6'5" and have for a long time wanted to have a proper car that's mine. We've got a Toureg for the family outings and that does brilliantly. I've got a bike for the adrenaline and the commuting but I want a blatant drivers car. Basic...
