So my car has arrived at the dealership (at last!) and I can't wait to pick it up, but I'll have to for a month, as I had decided on a 2017 registration. In the meantime I'm learning all I can alloy the car and it's systems. Can the W222 owners on here share their experiences or tips? From...

Hi All Was just wondering what you guys have been quoted by main dealers in the past to service your W212 for a A service, doesnt need ATF etc, car is under Tier 1 warranty and as its just a A do want to go to the dealer. Just wanted to get a idea of prices that have been quoted to members...

Hi All I've got some work which I need to use MB Watford for as it will be FOC (long story, wont go into it here), however I am concerned about the level of negative feedback on them. In a hope to balance things out, has anyone actually had decent service there?

Afternoon all, Week 1 with the GLE Coupe has just gone. My 2012 E63 AMG went into Mercedes the other week due to the engine management light coming on. I took it into merc and they say they suspect that it was a wiring loom fault or the dreaded timing issue which is a known issue on the...

Hi All Have put a deposit down on a 4 year old approved used W212 and one of the questions I'll get asked is if I want gap insurance which I do want, I've seen other companies online providing this cover, just wanted to see if any members here have used them with success? Do not want to buy...

Hi, Long time reader, first time poster! I'm going to do my first ATF change on my 2005 w203 (facelift, WDB2032081F650135). I bought everything needed from Germany because the prices were great compared to local retailers. I bought a relatively cheap ATF by SWAG, I have used some of...

Due to assisting 2 sons to buy cars over the last few weeks, and then one for myself, I've managed to max out my most pleasurable hobby quite well recently. However it wasn't always a pleasurable experience of course, and it's fair to say that Mercedes were squarely at the bottom of the pile...

Hi, I don't suppose any of you guys have had any dealings with VÄTH? On my quest for the perfect exhaust system for my SLK 250 I've come across their systems online, unfortunately they don't list prices and there's not very many high quality videos on YT. I've emailed but not had a...
