The driver's seat back fell off the other day. On examination it looks like the thing is held on by two good lugs at the top and by pushing two holes in the inside of the cover over a couple of protuding lugs at the base. Trouble is these are made from rejected Trabant building material and...

Whilst talking with a very helpful fourm member, I thought I would ask the forum in general about their experiences with regard to changing indicator lights and rear lights on a W126 420SE. I have found these bits, and am wondering 2 things: 1. How easy is it to change it by yourself if you...

Is it me or does anybody else agree that the quality of mercedes has gone downhill? My C class has done 40,000 miles now and apart from the normal filters and sparkplugs changed, has also gone throu a set of front disc's and pads, new draglinks and antiroll bar and a new key. My friend ml has...

Hi, Just cut this from an article on new M-class: "Quality improvements Mercedes' quality has been dinged recently. Consumer Reports said in 2004 that the brand's new-for-2003 cars, as well as its 3-year-old and 5-year-old models, all had more problems than average. ``The...

More Poor Quality? I saw something fly off the front of the car hit the windscreen and spin off into the distance last week. Didn't think much of it until I washed it this weekend and found a peice of chrome trim missing from the grill. Took the car to the local dealer and fortunately as...

Autocar 7-13 Septenber: Good news for us; Autocar tested the new CLS: good reviews for this radical loking car, but what gladdened my eye was comments like: "The interior , as radical as the exterior , also lifts Mercedes interior quality to a level not seen for a decade". and ...
