history

Time for renewal - myself and the good lady alternate holding the policy to keep our no claims. Is it true that you can have no policy for up to 2 years and keep your no claims?

Well, I joined looking for help in getting my dad's E class started again, but you seem a friendly lot, so I thought I'd share with you my meagre car history. I might hang around if you can deal with a peasant who rides a bicycle. :p Annoyingly I cannot find the decent pics, I shall endeavour to...

This makes sense I suppose. I'd still want printed copies anyway.

Been to look at a 1999 C180 sport. The car seems to be in excellent condition and has no apparent faults. It is also reasonably priced. Trouble is the service book is missing (the whole wallet actually) So no history, no receipts or anything. I assume Mercedes will be able to tell...

Somebody really should stop this crook! :mad: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MERCEDES-BENZ-CLK-HANDBOOK-WALLET-SERVICE-BOOKLET_W0QQitemZ230169312576QQihZ013QQcategoryZ10398QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Just bought my first Merc:- January 98 SLK 230 with 28000 miles in great condition. Up to now it's services have been carried out at MB dealers. I have been quoted £200 & £400 for the 2 types of services. I can carry out basic servicing (oil/filters/breaks /suspension) myself . At the age of the...

Theres a comprehensive history of the " C CLASS" models from the 190 W201 to the present here. Lots of historic design detail. http://www.emercedesbenz.com/Mar07/12_Fond_Memories_A_Look_Back_At_The_History_Of_The_Mercedes_Benz_C_Class_1.html

I have often suggested that the service history of modern Mercedes-Benz might, or should be held on a main database. I have been told this does not happen, but I am still far from convinced. Today I contacted Mobilo on their European free-phone number and before arranging for a technician to...

Hi My W202 has a full set of stamps from Puttocks/Tony Purslow in Guildford. Unfortunately I do not have any of the invoices so I have no idea what has been done except that the 80k service last year cost over £1000 so it must have been pretty comprehensive. Do you reckon I would be able to...

Dear Members. I need your opinion. I bought a Jan 2002 51 plate CLK 200k last month from Mercedes of Doncaster over the internet. (I am in London) I totally relied on the description and assurances given to me by the dealer. The car has covered 55,000 and has all the services carried out...

I'm a bit annoyed as I drove a 150 mile round trip to look at a 2000 W Reg SLK230 at an independent dealers. It was described as 44,000 miles with FSH and was priced at £11,000 I'm no mechanic but it looked OK to me. The paintwork was fine with no chips or dents and the only thing that I...

Hi all, A couple of weeks ago I brought my 300te 24 you see on the left. Its a great car and I am slowly putting her back on the straight and narrow and trying to sort her little problems out. I have some service history up to 126000 (mb) then nothing for 3 years or so until around...

:crazy: Hi guys, looking at another E320 CDI (w211) yes, they are great... Anyways, im looking at a car that has the service history which is stamped at Mercedes Benz of Herts, and of Mercedes of Edinburgh... only problem is that the stamps look a little 'home made'... anyone had a service at...

Hello to all Is there any way tracing a cars service history from the reg document if the service books are missing? Just planning on buying an ML320 only 55k miles on an x plate but can't find the service books :confused: Am wondering if this can be traced through an MB stealer or through...

BBC Link

do they use the same database as HPI?

My motor has just over 100K recorded but judging by the state of the interior it has done more... and has no history whatsoever. I'll be putting it in to a mechanic to look over and service but is there anything I'd be recommended to do right away, or ensure that he does? I want to avoid...

I have heard a rumour that if you give a Stealer your chassis number they can give you a print out of your service history. Having brought an ex-company car without the service book this would be quite useful. I do have a company spreadsheet listing all the spare parts used over the years...

I have a very good 1989 190E 2.5-16 which is for sale. I've had it for nearly a year and am reluctantly selling because I don't use it enough. It's smoke silver/black half leather. The spec includes original 15 hole MB alloy wheels with excellent tyres, electric windows, electric tilt...
