My C-Class estate has started being a little fussy over when you can manually open the tailgate. It will always open using the electric assist but sometimes if I try and open with the handle I meet resistance and it will only continue with the motor. Anyone any ideas? Also should it continue...

I have some nice C63 AMG 18" wheels, rears are 9" anyone know what is the best tyre size for this? Current 81/2" rears have 255x35x18 so should I go 265x35x18 so there is a bit more width to the tyre? maybe help a little to protect the rim? or just stick with the 255. Fronts have Conti 5's but...

Thinking of doing this having read much on here. Has anyone used AMD in Thurrock for such or know if they are recommended. They sound as if they know about it, although mostly VAG work and don't promise silly figures which sounds good, as I still want reliability. Any advice greatly appreciated

Is there any way of making it work? It won't even detect the handset. It's not listed as a supported phone on the MB Bluetooth site so is it just a case of waiting/hoping for future updates to sort it out? Bitterly disappointed as I really like the phone but lack of BT connectivity is a bit of a...

I'm thinking of buying some spare alloy wheels to fit winter tyres too. To keep costs down I'm wondering about buying a set of 16" wheels of which there appears to be pleanty of choice of genuine MB wheels. My question is, the C250 appears to come wit 17" wheels as standard where as the C200...

Does anyone know where I can get one of these? I just have an empty foam tray under the carpet. I've trawled eBay and contacted a few breakers but no luck. Can anyone actually tell me what tools should be there? Many thanks.
