Hi Picking up my 2009 C Class 250 CDI saloon on Friday traded in my 2005 BMW M3 . I know it is not as quick as the M, but it is soooo nice to drive (auto). Expecting it to be somewhat less thirsty than the M3 - the local petrol station owner was in tears when I told him :D Tony

I only have one key for my 2005 W203. My key's bit worn out. How much will MB charge to code it to my car? Are there any independents that can supply/code spare keys? I would pay 170 pounds or less for replacement key. Thanks for helping

Hi All, I've just bought a 2002 SL55 that needs a B service. There are a bunch of items that need replacing due to time and I've been quoted £1610 from a MB dealer. I think I'd prefer to get the work done by a specialist (although the car has FMBSH so far) to be sure that it gets done well...
