report

Thanks to hawk20’s tip, I managed to get a 24 hour test drive of a W212 E220 CDi Blue Efficiency SE last weekend, from MB’s corporate department. Picked up from MB Bromley (who first said they had no idea who I was, and that I should go to MB Dartford) on Sat am, and returned Sun am. Drove...

Well well. What surprise. I suppose there will be Select Committee soon that will be telling us that bears do in fact poo in the woods. "The Government handled a phased set of increases to Vehicle Excise Duty so badly they tarnished the image of environmental taxes. Report: Taxes and...

Just had the free health check at MB Ashford on my 2001 C270CDI estate (first MB, love it!!). They had a few comments that I'm not sure about as I'm not "oily handed". First, they said my brake fluid is black. It was changed on 10/5/2006 and 45848 miles - currently 70500 miles, have only done...

Below is my report on the GTG in Torquay last Saturday. :D We drove up to Torquay on Friday and arrived back in London this evening. The s-class performed its magic as per usual and the ride was therefore comfortable and smooth in the extreme. However, there were quite a few traffic...

Mercs only have basically conned me on several occasions and i'm not sure what to do now, i tried going to them for a refund on Brake fluid change, Spark plug change, Air filter change and they rejected even after i showed them the report i recieved from the mercedes dealer themselves. The...

OK, I've had my W204 now for just over six months and as this is a still considered a "new" model and one which Mercedes have made a big fuss about in terms of the reliability gremlins of past models being a thing of the past, I thought I'd start a thread for W204 owners to report any issues...

Hi All, Just something I am working on over at an Australian forum. Keep in mind that AMGs are a very rare thing indeed out here. So I'm in the back of a taxi in Melbourne, heading out the airport. About to head home to Sydney for the week, I received a phone call from Brisbane (stay with...

Hi All, I just got the RAC report on the car we are planning to buy. It lists a few problems, most are minor such as scuffed wheels, stone chip in screen, small crack in wheel arch liner etc. There are a couple of parts missing: Small grille next to front fog light, drivers side sill tread...

There was a long thread about the high cost of Mercedes Servicing earlier in the year and one of the reasons given was that mercedes dealers were struggling to make any money.:rolleyes: Well here's Daimler Chryslers last quartery report. They seem to be doing alright?:crazy...
