If you remember I took delivery on 3rd March of my C-Class 200 Sport Premium with paint defects, MB offered a respray but I took it to Petrolhead detailing in Peterborough and they said that they can make it good. The dealer has paid for a new car preparation which has given me a ceramic...

So the wife's 2000 W210 E320 CDI estate went for an MOT on Sat. The first MOT since we bought it 12 months ago. Its now on 190500 niles :eek: Since they are renowned for rust, I was expecting the worst. But no, only failed on brake pads, and no advisories! :bannana:

So I had my Celtic tuning mapped E280 CDI Sport RR'd today @ Surrey RR and I knew the 290bhp map was more than likely quite optimistic but was expecting a better result than what I got (I've had more powerful cars before and it certainly feels more powerful than 220bhp considering the weight of...

Hi all just to inform you CL500 owners i have fitted a new pulsation damper to the hydraulic system, the results are: the droning sound in the cabin has gone, before fitting the damper i noticed when braking at higher speeds there was some juddering on the brake pedal that's gone also with the...

So I took my E55 to a dyno in Crawley, West Sussex. They managed to extract a figure of 440bhp..... This does not seem to be right. I suspect I have an issue with the pump or heat exchange as the S/C will turn off very quickly, after one strong run at times... I will upload the dyno...

08.30 this morning my friend and neighbour was startled by the sounds of a crash from the rear of their house. The rear faces a T junction at the bottom of a steep hill. This is what they found in their garden. These marks on the road go for 35mtrs back to the kerb on...

Andy of Aqua Detailing in Hull travelled the 22miles to my place and spent the day converting my car from bag of *h*t daily drive to showroom condition. At a price of £400 it included interior valet, engine bay clean up and exterior clean, polish and protect. I was very impressed with his...

Did my usual, bought a car and then started looking for insurance, that way the premiums cant put me off :doh: So popped on to the usual price comparison sites and for my new toy 2006 CLS320 I was pleasantly surprised. :bannana::bannana::bannana:£316.50 fully comp :bannana::bannana::bannana...

You may recall I recently bought a 1993 W124 220CE on a bit of a chance as although the car looked and ran great it had virtually nil history. After getting the V5 in my name I wrote to the owner before last and went to see him tonight and had a great result. Picked up all of the original...

Saddo that I am I always try to get the closest model of any car I buy. Anyways, I searched for "w202 model" earlier on eBay. This is the result, the top item is very interesting: (poss NSFW) w202 model | eBay :bannana:

http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/general-discussion/111354-oh-no-not-again.html After reading my bad luck and how the dealer bent over backward to do everything for me UNTIL -----I filled in the feed back report and praised them :doh: big mistake Here we go , As merc of stockport said they...

Yesterday while reversing onto my drive the engine just stopped before I had completed the manoeuvre and wouldn't start again. Called the recovery company who couldn't get it started and the technician thought it may be the fuel pump so towed it to WDM. They weren't expecting me and were...

Took advice from a recent Mercedes Enthusiast mag article and visited MB dealer in Beckenham, Kent. Showed the Body Repairs man the offending areas - f ront edges of 2 rear wheel arches - and he took paint thickness readings etc. View is that MB will undertake the necessary repairs on production...

There i am driving around listening to the vibration i have had for a few days convinsed it is the exhaust loose. After reading lots of posts about vibrations and (gearboxes) i deside to get the ATF checked. Local stealer didn't want to know localish indi said too much oil so took it to my own...

I previously mentioned in the General Discussion forum that i had taken my 2001 E320 CDi Estate back to Chelt/Glos MB for a rust warranty claim. They had the car for an hour to check everything while i enjoyed free coffee and papers. I did not think i had much of a chance as i am the third...

So, after my seemingly pricey Indy service (thanks for the feedback on the anti-freeze post) I returned to pick up the vehicle. They were very apologetic and took me straight out to the car. Their car cleaner had reversed my ML into an E class! :eek: Damage: E class bumper caved in - ML 2...

Result for London Mayor announced. A Mr. Johnson Replaces Mr. Livingstone.

I had just decided to get my 2 arches done (£400+vat), when I read on here that Merc have a warranty. Took it in yesterday morning and today got a phonecall to say it's all been approved. Booked in for 3 weeks time (with a courtesy car !!!) To say I'm amazed is an understatement. :D...

Hi I was cleaning my car this weekend and noticed a tiny bubble on my front offside wheel. Today I took it in to MB Swindon - discussed the demise of service + which he thought was better value than a used car warranty - and he found the smallest of bubbles (I had missed it) on the other...

I was in Scotland on business for a couple of days this week and on arrival at Edinburgh airport was presented the keys to my hire car... ...a nice boggo Ford Focus. Spying a key with a three-pointed-star on the desk I entered into some light-hearted negotiation and a few minutes later and for...
