pleased

First trip of any length just completed from Birmingham to Northumberland and impressed with frugal fuel consumption of my beautiful Merc. Achieved 68.9 mpg getting there (I was so hoping to hit my Holy Grail of 70 mpg) and after driving around to lots of places over 4 days, the overall figure...

I thought I’d post my early impressions now I’ve had my C200 (petrol) W205 for 7 weeks and have done 1,600 miles. It’s a UK specification car built in South Africa in April 2015 and has the Sport Premium Plus package and most of the other available options. The bottom line is that I’m very...

Mercedes-Benz is launching its own Apple Watch app sometime this fall

Jon here from near Liverpool / Chester. Picked up an 06 plate C320 v6 CDI AG estate yesterday. A bit of rust on the driver's door - just on the edge. Another little bit on the front bonnet where it bends around the grill. This thing is FAST!!!!! Our other cars are a 14 plate A6 (Ultra model S...

Merry Christmas all The wife and I went to see her Mum at the weekend which is nearly 200 miles away at Thame so I thought it wood be good to see what sort of mpg the new E350 would do. Filled the tank at both ends. I used the cruise as much as possible at 75 and I know there's a couple of...

Hi all An update on my tyre purchase. I have gone the budget(ish) route and fitted 245/40/17 Nexen N6000 tyres to the rear in place of my Conti's. I'm very pleased with them in the dry but I'm amazed in the wet, I've just driven on very wet with standing water Motorways, A roads and side...

To buck a trend I am pleasantly surprised by the quote I have just received (and have not shopped about yet). Admiral multi car. The basics: 2 cars - brand new c63 estate, 2 year old Mini One Clubman. 2 drivers - c63, me (30 yr old, company director). Mini - me and SWMBO (29 yr old...

Hi folks Part of my working life involves renting out holiday cottages and we have just gone live with a new search. Imagine your ideal cottage is in Devon with sea views, wifi, sky sports and a pub nearby. Type those words into the search and you will get a list of places that match, from...

I called yesterday to get one of those oil dip stick, the person at the parts counter quoted me 55 pounds :eek: for something that he said was really hard to use, differents marks etc.... Go figure? He then pass me to a mechanic advisor, a nice chap that I knew, and he just told me come over...

Yesterday did a 300mile round trip up to Norfolk. Not trying for good mpg, just normal motorway/A roads most of the way. I thought that was pretty good for a 2004 C200K W203 with 3 up and a bit of luggage. :)

Hi! Just wanted to say that today I've done 61.2 :rock: :bannana:miles to the gallon on 40mi route (daily work-home). Also, my last tank lasted for 603 miles :rock: and range was still around 6 miles!! It is W203 200 CDI :) I've got some pictures if anyone interested... Link to my route...

Just to say that I'm very pleased with my favourite car, the 1990 190E 2.5-16 manual. It's been very good to me, fantastic fun to drive and has been a joy to own. Owned it for about 2 years now. I think I will treat it this year to some special maintenance, it deserves it :bannana: I...

I know this goes against the grain...but I was majorly impressed with the Stealers at Cribbs Causeway in Bristol. I even wrote to them to let them know. I took my car back with many faults (headrest motor, heated seats, radio, cd, navigation, and linguatronic all playing up) They couldn't...
