I've never been happy with the sound system on my July 2000 C220 CDi Estate. The Sony CD / radio that it came with would only play certain CDs and would never search properly so I replaced it with another errrr... Sony which was £100 in Halfords and came with a free Walkman. It works well enough...

You’ll find it in my newly-acquired silver 1981 W123 280TE automatic. It has 208,047 miles. Engine is near silent and still pulls like a train. Reverse gear has (just) started to go. There is rust on the front and rear arches. Chrome parts are real chrome…no plastic at all. The blue M-B...

Had an idle stroll around the stealership yesterday lunchtime whilst killing time. Of about 6 used W210s, 4 had rust bubbling around the bootlid lock. Also noticed this same problem on a CLK. When you pay a premium price for what you perceive to be a premium car, should you not expect...

Hi all, I have been a MB owner for the last 15 years and have always been happy with the products but I feel I have to write in and express my dissatisfaction with my latest purchase a 2003 ML270. Mercedes advertising states "And unlike ordinary off-roaders, when you're driving in the city or...

When is it generally considered that the build quality started to drop off on the W210? Friend is looking to buy one but keeps reading about the quality problems that may be encountered on later models. Is there an end date or do we just assume that this carried on with the E class until the...

You views on Jasper Blue? (Paint quality) Why did I (we) opt for Jasper blue. Hummph knowing what I know now I don't think I'd pick it again. We didn't want silver. I personally think silver is best suited to the more sporty mercs. Ours is a lowly W203 and thinking of future resale values we...

Hi My C320 ( W203 - Elegance ) ) has done 50,000 now and is just 3 years old I have had the car for the last 15 months ) and although in general I am very pleased with the car there are a couple of issues that I need advice on. 1. Basically the suspension feels quite harsh sometimes, but...

Well I bought one of those Blaupunkt MP3 Compact Drives and have been trying to get to grips with MP3. All my current CD's are saved to my HDD in Windows Media Audio (.WMA) format. Is it possible to convert .WMA files to .MP3 files? I have started re-saving my CD's to a new directory using...

I've been considering a 202 C220cdi for ages now. For the kind of driving I currently do, it seems like the ideal choice, as my fuel consumption is currently a big problem. However, several people have advised me that there have been problems with reliability and build quality on this model...

Went to wash my car today and I noticed the silver on the bumber trim is coming off. I wasn't impressed to say the least, especially given the age of the car! Makes the car look tatty from the front.

Hi, Someone posted a link to a review/chart for different quality of tyres... can you please re-post it?
