I've just spent a good 20minutes trying to remove the old H7's from my main beams with no avail. They don't seem to have the normal clips that the dip beams have that you just ping to the side and pull out. Any insight into how they are removed/replaced?

At times, rightly or wrongly, MB dealers come in for a lot of stick. I must say at the outset that I have nothing but praise for MB Ayr. During my ownership of my CL600 since July 2011 they have been exemplary both in customer service, parts, and product knowledge. Earlier this week I went for a...

So today the "30 days to A0 service" message popped up, my first ever Merc service, so a little unclear, it seems its just an oil change service? I called MB Chelsea, asked for service dpt, spoke to someone and was given a price of £295 + parts, clarified and he said that wouldn't include oil...

I am thinking off upgrading the H7 bulbs in my dip and main beam. Despite my car having loads of extras i am surprised it does not have xenon lights. I have ordinary H7 in now and have in my other car replaced the H7's with Philips extreme 55W and have tested those bulbs in my W209. They...

Anyone got any first-hand experience with either the MB workshop in Orpington or MB in Dartford? My C-Coupe is coming up for its first service and needs to stay main-dealer serviced and I'm not enthralled by Lookers, where I bought it. Regards Dave
