Going to France on Sunday on eurotunnel. Should I top up before getting on the train (where is cheap and convenient near M20) or in Northern France? And on return trip? Last year coming home we filled up just on leaving the train, but then discovered the first motorway service area was...

Hi all. I've been here a while but haven't posted as I was Mercedesless for a while. I mostly drive Italian cars but have always had a softspot for Mercedes and have owned a few over the years. It all started with this 1979 280 SE It turned out to be a British Embassy diplomatic car out...

Brittany ferries are doing a fantastic deal for a trip to Santander and 4 nights in the Paradores so Ive booked it. The SL will be the perfect tourer again! Does anyone have experience of the area 150 miles around Santander and suggestions on good driving/touring roads or places to visit? (I am...

Hi. New to MB ownership. Was leaving my daughter back to uni in Chester and bought a copy of Autotrader, flicking through I spotted an absolute minter of a C180 auto estate for sale in Wilmslow, being only 40 miles up the road I borrowed my daughter's little Picanto and went up there. Fell in...

Hey folks, just found the site through Google. I am Jonny (26) and i am from Bangor Northern Ireland. I will hopefully be a w202 owner as from 7pm this evening! I have had a few BMW's (9 to be honest) and am still addicted to VW's (8 of them!) Hope to stick around for a while:thumb:

Anyone know/recommend one?

Hi all. my 2004 w203 estate is due its next A service in about 1200 miles or so (car has 21.5 K on the clock). It is a UK car, imported into the Irish Republic and as it is still under its 3 Year UK warranty I must therefore use a MB main dealer to do the necessary. Instead of using a Dublin...
