    Main Dealer Service London

    I had my car serviced today at a main dealer in London - Temple Fortune. I was dubious as to how the experience would be I have to say they were amazing and very professional. I dropped the car off earlier than arranged and I was immediately met by a service member who explained what would...

    W204 main beam

    Was off downs country lane last night and thought I'd give my main beam a go for the first time. So flicked the stalk forward ...and nothing. I did get an icon appear in the dash display, but no main beam. My lights are always set to 'auto'. So what's the deal? Do your lights automatically...

    I have a service plan on my C220 and was wondering if anyone could recommend a decent garage to carry out the work as it's showing 20 days until a service is required. I am based in North London.

    discounts on 2nd hand S class from main dealer

    Interested in some advice. I suspect that discounts on the current S class purchased 2nd hand are likely to be good given the high list price only some people would be willing to live with such a beast. If looking at the 1-2y old sector selling at 48-58 bracket. Who far would a dealer...

    Main Dealer, Independent or DIY?

    Hi I've always maintained my own cars once they've reached the end of their warranty but this is the first 'prestige' brand I've owned so was a bit reluctant to not keep up the full MB service history to date. As the car is now 10 years old I suppose most of the depreciation has been taken...

    My first MB main dealer experience

    Having owned our little MB for only about 7-8 months ive not had the pleasure of visiting a main dealer until today. Over the months ive read many horror stories on here about how various things have gone wrong, or the appalling service people have recieved, so had mixed thoughts but decided to...

    Service Plan for E Class from Main Dealer?

    As my username suggests, Im very much a newbie in the world of Mercedes, and even having a brand new car. My E220 Mercedes is a '15' plate, so a month or so away from its 1 year anniversary. The Service A due indicator has now come up, so debating whether I am better off taking to a dealer...

    Used car purchasing: main dealer vs non main dealer

    Hi, Wanting a bit of advice. I have a good understanding of what you get when purchasing an approved used car from a main franchised dealer. Your paying top dollar for a good car with warranties etc. I have also purchased from private sellers before. Again, i understand the buyer beware...

    C63 MCT box jerky after main dealer service

    Hi all, Had the car serviced at main dealer last Friday. It was a 3 year service at 29250 miles so required the gearbox oil and filter changing as well as the A service and air filter. Their computer was "down" so the sat nav didn't get updated which I needed doing. My 485 odd mile...

    Non main dealer Nav updates?

    I have a 2011 W218 CLS running what I think is Comand 4.5. I'm constantly frustrated by the routing and TMC features - TMC seems to be very slow to update, and then tells me of traffic when I've hit it (er, thanks). A colleague's BMW system is 100 time better in this regard. - It seems a...

    Main Dealer vs Car Supermarket

    If you were paying £25,000 for a 12 month old C Class is it worth the premium you'd pay at a Main Dealer? Any experiences of the service and back up that you get?

    E55K side lights (smaller lights beside the main headlights).

    I've been using LED units for a while now. One has gone so I need to replace. However, as they get more powerful, they have become out of sync with the xenons and I don't like the imbalance. The side lights look too bright and too blue. Is there a more powerful whiter halogen bulb...
