disappointed

Hi, I have already opened new threads some time ago but back again after some time away. My 2011 E220 cabriolet steering wheel lock has recently gone down. I was at my fitness club and on coming out found I could not move the steering lock or start the car with the key. After a £110 check of the...

I had firs B service at 16100 mile today. E-220 bluetec 2015 model. On top of my service cost £660 charged for front discs/pads and rear pads as over 80% used. They said. When picked up the car after 2miles of daylight driving warning came on . Back to dealer again , car diagnosed and offered a...

Tried a W212 E350 today. We were disappointed. The car was a 2010 model Avantgarde. Good price, Silver, Pano roof, full MB service history, memory seats - All the boxes ticked. The downside was 104K on the clock - but the service history should cover that, surely. It also needed a B2...

Hi; just picked up the new 16' A Class 220d AMG Premium Plus with Night Pack. Can anyone tell me how I can make a phone call please iPhone is pair to the car and receives fine. I press the voice button on the steering wheel and it opens SAT Nav "I agree" then sat nav. I can press telephone on...

I have an old W210 320 CDI estate and love it. Looking to get an additional car (sold the Jeep today) and have seen a lovely 2007 220CDI E Class estate, perfect in all respects except I don't know about the engine. After the 6 cylinder diesel, am I going to dislike the 220? Its 200...

Moving from a Navigon (Garmin) iPhone system to a large screen I thought would confer advantages, but so far, I found it very involving to follow, and still get wrong footed. Minor gripe is launching navi on W205, it doesn't kick off with the destination entry screen - it goes straight into a...

I have a 2014 C63 saloon with the Eurocharged V5 map. Was minding my own business the other day driving down a certain toll motorway. Having paid at the booth I thought I'd see what my car could do acceleration wise so as I exited I floored it. Coincidentally, next to me a young lad in his...

As a reasonably new member i thought i would buy an MB sticker for my car, so i bought the windscreen sticker through paypal, after not getting it from the club after several weeks of waiting, i contacted the club, now after six attempts in contacting them without any feedback what so ever, im...

I have had my 2014 E63 Estate for about a month now and I have to say I am slightly disappointed. Two reasons: Technology I think aspects of the technology in incredibly outdated and it just wrong in a car of this calibre. I cannot believe that the car still has the same Parktronic...

Have my E220CDI for 4 days now, done just over 200miles, average fuel consumption according to computer 34mpg!! all town work. My ex C250CDI did 39.8mpg, similar journey, thought it would do better than my C250CDI if not at least the same fuel figures?? Apart from that both refinement and...

Hi all. Mrs JB was involved in a fairly nasty smash on Thursday in the Galaxy. Rear ended and pushed into a towbar equipped car in front. From the culprit's damage I estimate he was doing 40 ish on impact as his car was totalled. Ironically the Galaxy superficially looks lightly damaged, under...

As the weather was so glorious yesterday and my wife had taken time off work, I decided to do the same and visit Mercedes Benz World at Brooklands. It's about a 160 mile round trip but in this day and age that's nothing of course. As those who've been will know the premises are pretty...

Travelling up A12 today and having fun with a 5 series trying to keep up and we run into the usual traffic jam in the 2 lane section before you get to Marks Tey turn off. Long line of lorries overtaking each other at 55 to 60 all the way up the hills, no problem there but the second car ahead of...

I am doing some work in Paris, and because the place I'm working is slightly south of the city, I am hiring cars and driving around. Last week I had a BMW 320d touring. I've never driven a 3 series before, but I have to say it was absolutely superb. The 2L diesel engine is a peach - a...

Bit of a bad day. Just back from dealer and have been told to expect new radiator and gearbox @ £4-5,000, and my warranty has expired. I have just come onto the forum to post my dismay and seen 230K's post about the radiator issue - coincidence, as prior to today I knew nothing about this...

It is just initial disappointment I hope....lovely inside and out but enroute from Birmingham to Edinburgh tonight decided to try the new toll road. All going swimmingly until I got to the toll booth. Put window down, paid toll, drove off.....window wouldn't go up again. Pulled off slip road...
