My Dads 76 years old and took his 180k 4 years old for a A service and MOT this morning ..... the service manager told my dad that because the cars 4 years old ...it would need new spark plugs, 2 filter eliments @ 70 each, brake fluid and esp remanagment ..... the up shot is he said if he dose...

First of all a Happy Christmas and a Prosperous New Year to you all. Kerry's Smart 4 2 is 4 years old and has racked up 48,000 miles. I've ordered a new Fiat 500 for her, due Feb or March time but we are undecided what to do with the Smart. Should we keep it or part ex it ?. Does anyone have...

Hi Do you guys agree with my dealer that the gearbox on my '99 W220 S430 is "sealed for life" ie will never need a fluid change? Car has done 110k miles and isn't as smooth on downchanges when slowing down as I would have expected........so was thinking of getting them to do a fluid change...

Hello, I'd appreciate some advice, please. We have a 1997 C200 estate with 130k on the clock. I'd be interested to know how many more miles people think I'm likely to get out it before the running gear will need major surgery. I read somewhere that the petrol engines start to play up seriously...

Might be of use to someone as there going cheap http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Mercedes-Benz-Car-Parts-Accessories-Job-lot-Rare-NR-e_W0QQitemZ200155445945QQihZ010QQcategoryZ10398QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

My 53 reg A170 has had 3 services done so far, the first one at an independant (why????) and the other 2 @MB dealers. Upon purchasing the car I checked with the local dealer who advised me that provided the car's last service was with MB it was covered by Mobilo Life. I then contacted MB...

My car is a 1999 on a T W210 E280. I have had my share of tin worm repairs to the car, all paid for on the Mobilo paint warranty. The car has done 165000 miles now and has a full MB service history. My query is, at the last gtg at Ollie's brilliant workshop, it was mentioned that MB will only...

Not that I need one yet, but I am interested in the typical life span of a Mercedes exhaust system on a C class, or other model.. Milage / year of car etc. How long is it expected to last ? Anyone ever had to purchase one recently or in the past ? I bet that this will bust the bank.

I had my front brake pads changed last night .. I am pretty sure that they lasted 52k miles! New ones were £122 though. Front discs are slightly worn but replacement is unnecessary. Steve didn't believe when I mentioned it to him. I have had the car for 28k miles (and never changed any...

I am tempted but I have always hated after market lights but these look like the facelift lights http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MERCEDES-W210-E-CLASS-Black-Red-LED-TAILLIGHTS_W0QQitemZ140135447286QQihZ004QQcategoryZ23010QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

rust treatment on my w210 Nothing major but I want to keep on top of it

What is the shelf life of a 100% synthetic oil? I have 10 litres of Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40 with a date stamp 30-05-06, unopened, that I'm intending for my next service, in January 08. Does the date stamp refer to the dom or is it a 'best before'?

On my drive to work I listen to a local radio station, which has a sister station in a neighbouring county. When I reach certain points of my journey the radio changes to the sister station, and then changes back again. It's happened in several places along my route, but tends to happen most...

Came across this interesting site for sad people.:rolleyes: To give you a flavour of whats available here's a couple of examples. Here's one for the girls. http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-check-your-cars-oil-level and here's one for the boys...

MobiloLife is in a mess. It does not do what it says on the tin. What many salesman tell customers about it is not true. It is not virtually the same as full breakdown cover for 30 years with the RAC or the AA. What you read on Mercedes own website about MobiloLife (in early September 2006 when...

I have not lost my mind, I have it backed up on disk somewhere... Or so I hoped to do... I just grabbed an old compaq server off eBay (2 processors, I can fit 4 - pentium xeons, 700mhz each - some ludicrous amount of ram at max (I've been offered a 16Gb ram card for it... its 16 1gb pc133...

Driving south on the M1 today in driving rain and wind, doing about 60 when I noticed the steering becomes very light. I look down at the road which now has a running stream on the right side of the lane and the car starts to aquaplane and then starts to spin very slowly so that I am about 10...

I've had a slight problem with my C32 that whilst it hasn't caused any great problems, I wanted it sorted. I'm a perfectionist!! Car's at the dealers as we speak After much head scratching, diagnostics, and changing parts, they've concluded it was the gearbox oil. Replaced it and they...
