As above finally bit the bullet and bought a new key from MB Colchester, Should be here sometime this wk if not early next wk. Was assured it will work straight away without issues hummm we shall see :doh: Im going on Holiday in August and didnt fancy runing the risk of having to get the car...

Wanna say a BIG BIG thank you to a member on here by the name of ( M2M ) for letting me know about the new AMG GT-S being down at Bolton Mercedes:), just got back from seeing it an i've gotta say it's a beautiful machine very big but i love it very very much, it was in diamond white and was the...

Corrected my paint with menzerna compounds and had to do 3 stagers to remove all the swirls and RDS then sealed .

Picked up my first MB yesterday (2007 e280 estate) Loved the silky drive home. I think i need to run an injector cleaner through it and maybe change the fuel filter though as despite being a seasoned hypermiler i only managed 45mpg on a long run driving it very easy, But still love the car!

Guys, the dreaded glycol has eventually caught up with my gearbox despite having all the plumbing changed 40k ago (It's lasted really well) So, I need a used 722.6 five speed auto. It's a W211 Il6 320cdi. Any thoughts please ?

Having originally ordered my E350 Estate is September, I have now taken delivery of it (30 March). It was then whisked promptly round to a local Car Detailer ( Specialist Car Detailing & Professional Valeting - Fareham, Gosport, Hampshire) , who prepared the car for me. The link below is the...

Took the plunge and brought an e63 - 6.2 1 owner, 20k, performance pack and diff, what a car!:D The only thing i wanted to ask other owners is there is a little juddering sometimes at low speed when starting off is this the diff? It feels a little bit restricted at very low speeds when turning,

I had a knightmare getting these things to fit. The hub lip wasn't long enough to reach the centre bore of the wheel as it was chamfered. So I tried spigot rings, didn't work and eventually found some hubcentric spacers that had a longer lip. Anyway, here they are on: I think it needs lowering...

After all these years of dreaming about driving a Merc I bit the bullet and on Wednesday I collected a 2011 E220 CDI form MB Basingstoke. It ticked all the boxes, after driving a Kia Sorento for 10 years you can imagine what it feels like. Sadly my wife spotted some chips/scuffs on the offside...

Like the current SL apart from its headlights, slightly odd looking. hopefully the facelift will have changed them enough :)

At long last I was able to pick up my W204 C220 CDI Sport on Saturday and I couldn't be happier with the car. A nice step up in class from my previous motor, 3 series coupe, although IMO the interior of the BMW is slightly more stylish. Other than de-badging the boot lid which I've already...

I posted a while ago that I was changing my CLS for an E class estate, this freed up some cash which I've had permission to buy my dream car. So today I did the deal and bought a Porsche 928 S4, it's an 88 auto in Lagoon Green (silver with a hint of mint green). Can't wait to pick it up.

Now being on my second SLS meant that I really needed a second round of AMG Design Studio upgrades....AMG ownership just calls out for any kind of excuse to travel to Affalterbach ;) I'm getting kind of excited because I've been without the car since mid-August and I collect it on Friday :)...

Hi, after a hiatus of some 10 years, I'm back to mercedes. Albeit with a 2012 w639 Vito 113cdi LWB. I'm in south wales, and while my van is for business, I would like to improve it over its, travelodge-esq, basic spec. Mind it is metallic amber red, and the blue efficency model ( one...

After a bit of a battle with Mercedes that i shouldn't have to pay for a map update that was missing on my car i finally got my hands on this today. Part no. if anyone wants to order one. They are £156 inc VAT which thankfully i didn't have to pay. Checking i didn't need a...

Hi All, After being a loyal BMW driver for the last 7 years with 3 different variants, I have finally made the move to Mercedes! Why? Well, if I'm being honest I have always admired MBs but recently I have not been that impressed with the build and more importantly the interior quality of...

Hi All, I've been a regular visitor to the forum for a couple of years so these photo's are well overdue. The work below has now all been completed which only leaves a new accelerator cable left to do ! - new shocks and springs all round - wiring loom repaired (done by Tony Leach...

Hi All, After years of missed chances to buy an S320 and still having the desire a few years on to buy one; now was the time as I managed to purchase this beauty. Collecting it tomorrow - to say I am excited is an understatement. Now for the upgrades!! Certainly want a rear diffuser with...

Well today I collected my W211 facelift E220cdi from the dealer. :bannana: What a great drive home especially after waiting over 25yrs to finally buy a merc, not new I know, but everyone got start somewhere. Weird, but I actually feel calmer in the car more than any other car I have...

Hi all, new to the forum but a life long merc and german car fanatic (although this is my first since a short time with a w124 many years ago) - have mostly frequented Pistonheads but go easy on me! After the dark days of a brief flirtation with a clio RS200 I picked up its replacement 3...
