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

Guys Just putting an idea out there, once again. If you were have a driveway dug out, would you use the opportunity to replace the lead mains pipe with plastic ? £500 reconnection fee is the sting though . . . Chris

Mercedes Benz that venerable marque now trading on its name and destroying its future through a chain of main dealerships operating like dentists. And my problem is? I have a year 2000 W210 E320 CDI estate that may be beyond any help from anyone because it's a reshelled car with a DVLA...

Booked in to replace the SBC pump on my W211 at the main dealers yesterday morning. Last weeks phone call to Mercedes D****ter; Me: "Are Mercedes still replacing the SBC pumps FOC" Them: 'Well, we've never had a claim refused sir, worse case scenario would be a software upgrade at a...

Put the SL in for MOT at M-B Guildford (Tony Purslow) today. Asked if they could also have a look at the accelerator which has always been very slightly 'sticky' - I said I thought it might need a new cable. Requested that the car be ready by 3PM. At 2:20PM I had a call advising the car was...

Chatting to the salesman as my MOT was being done. He says only four options add value at resale time (relating to E Class). Can you guess all four? I should say, one was a bit odd and not applicable in many cases

My super son Greg (well I would say that wouldn't I) gets to play the main set at our local open mic night this Wednesday 11th - it's his first time doing the main set. This is my lad who has been the subject of the most vile verbal bullying, which, at present, isn't resolved - a separate...

Good Morning Folks, I am having problems with the engine cutting out on my CLK320 (W208). It has been plugged into a diagnostics kit but no faults were reported and I believe it may be a problem with the main engine management ECU. Does anyone know where this is located on the car as I need to...

I hope you guys can help, The problem is that the main beam lamps work when the light stalk is pulled to flash, however when pushed nothing. I have read in another forum that it could be a relay, the main light switch or the stalk. Has anyone had any experience of this as any input would help...

Hello folks, I bought a 53 reg c220 cdi last year on ebay. It didn't have a service history with it at the time, but the bloke i bought it from said it did have a complete service book all stamped up, but he had misplaced it when he moved. The car has only got 1 previous owner, so i figured...

just looking at getting back in the MB fold and looking at a couple of SLK55s at the moment. These will be 2005/06MY cars and will probably have FMBSH. Question is, is there any benefit to maintaining the history with a dealer other than having a prettier stamped up service book or just go...
