For me, it's France. Beautifully surfaced roads on the whole and hardly any traffic (away from Paris). So far every trip has been enjoyable. What's yours?

Hi not sure if anyone can help but here goes. Put a selection of albums on a USB stick, all tagged correctly (as I thought) with album art etc, connected to USB1 in the car and noticed I had some errors on the MP3 tags that I needed to correct. Made some changes and plugged the USB back in and...

Hello all . Got a bit of a problem with the old tank. The missus was driving today and suddenly without notice the engine cut out, dead as a dodo, and all the dashboard lights are on. She switched the ignition off and rolled to the side of the road. (without power steering) . Then apparently...

Hi Changed my petrol C class for a diesel E class (2012 E350) and looking at the web it would appear that I may have a problem with my Diesel Particulate Filter. I am now retired so don't do much mileage. I have read that short journeys are not good for the DPF and may require it changing...

Hello, After years of aspiring to own a Mercedes E Coupe, I'm finally looking to make the plunge and have found a 2012 model that includes the driver assistance package: Distronic Plus, Blind Spot Assist, Lane Tracking. Now here's the Q: Does the Distronic Plus on 2012 models automatically...

Hi everyone out there, Does anyone have any words of wisdom please? Driving along M1, then onto M25 the car started making high pitched noise once over 60mph. It is a 2008 reg, therefore it still has timing chain as opposed to belt. Performance wise, no problems and no warnings or codes...

Hi Just been advised by my Doc to go for an eye test as I'm on the borderline of needing glasses to drive! I've never worn glasses and and would rather have prescription sunglasses. Anyone wear these? Advice, recommendations would be great chaps... Thanks Lee

Hi All, I have a 2016 GLC AMG with standard lighting, Mercedes call it LED High Perfomance Headlamps I am absolutely stumped by the owners manual...... For driving abroad it says that no changes are required for halogen headlights, it also says that the car has ILS they can be changed...
