Hi all, Does anyone know of any coding/MB specialist firms in Scotland or the North of England? Also is there an easy way (apart from looking for the dash switches) to tell if my mirrors have the internals required to fold on a W203? Many Thanks Euan

Hello people of the MB. I've been looking through the site since last Thursday when I became the owner of my first MB which is (according to what I've found on this site) a face lifted 2005 W203 C220 CDi Sport Edition.........................:crazy: Still getting used to the tech speak and...

Being in Scotland I sometimes get requests for recommendations for MERCEDES specialists in the Aberdeen area or further North. I am slightly out of touch now about this so if anyone has any suggestions / recommendations it would be good to know of your experiences. There are already several...

Hi all, I come her looking for advice.. I foolishly bought a W123 on ebay a few months ago, using heart not head :confused:.... and now am in a position to have to dispose of it. I have been advised by two garages I trust that the amount of rust in the rear section means it is not worth fixing...

This is a catch all thread for several different thoughts. I've just returned from a 1500 mile drive arrive Scotland where we experienced all 4 seasons over our fortnight and thoroughly enjoyed the countryside and sea.:D A few thoughts: 1. My car C180K averaged 33mpg over the whole...

Hi all, I've just gotten hold of a lovely W123 280CE, and it needs a bit of rust treatment/bodywork to the usual areas (jacking points, front and rear valances).

Well, folks, its time for another long thread. For my summer holiday my mate and I decided on cornwall. Naturally this involved touring in the shed, eating lots and some sun and light activities. Full photo album here Corwall pictures by stephentaylor4 - Photobucket The shed was...

We're driving around the west coast of the Scottish Highlands at the moment in the 300TD (which is behaving faultlessly) and came upon a police roadblock near Glenuig. Turned out they were filming the SLS AMG Roadster advert. I just happened to have my video camera to hand... [YOUTUBE...

Hi Folks, My name's Kris, I'm 39, work for a major uk insurer and have just bought my 1st MB. a '99 ML320. Drove it 80 miles home today after picking it up and have totally fallen for it. Hopefully I'll pick up a whole heap of tips/ideas from all you MB fans. I may call on you for technical...

There's one famous advert about "probably the best beer....", and another about "refreshing the parts that others don't reach...". Both of these apply to Merparts (Paul and Steff Mazzoni) in Port Glasgow. I have just had an outstandingly good experience with them, and it's only right that I...

Following on from Seans, Keith and my discussion what the lads on MBC need is a trip of driving around here http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/general-discussion/106988-day-out-shed-celebrate-solstice.html The idea is to meet up on Loch Lomond around 8am and undertake the following I recommend...

Well folks, happy new year. How about a day/lunch out in January, maybe 1st weekend of February. Lunch somewhere?

Having recently watched Countryfile which featured North Uist, and having an interest in photography, nature, ornithology etc seems like a really good place to go to on holiday next year. Only 700 miles from London too:bannana: Anyone rented/know of accom. there or on any of the other Islands...

Hi all, I'm meant to be driving to the highlands near Elgin on Saturday and the forecast looks bad. I don't have much scope to change the date so I'm looking for any local info for my route as the week progresses into the Thursday and Friday forecasted snow. My route will be M40, M6, M78, A9...

Gosh who would have thunk it. My cousin reports that he got stuck on snowy motorways and had to endure 9 hours stationary, 3 hours of crawling and constant moaning from direction of passenger seat (containing my aunt, who is not a patient woman at the best of times) to finish the last 30...

Anyone knows where in Scotland I could do a CO2 emission test for a diesel? The MOT only do petrol car CO2 test and only smoke test on the diesel. It need to be somewhere specialized on this. Anyone has an idea? Thank you. Olivier

I am still keen on buying one of these beasts. Are there any owners in the Central Belt of Scotland - Edinburgh / Glasgow that would be willing to show me over their car and give me a basic S Class 'tutorial'? Hopefully there may be a couple of you out there - I'm in Edinburgh... Cheers

A weekend away with my mate was in order. The 211 performed brilliantly. Took the booze, and copious amounts of food required to fuel me. Went to a campsite in Dumfrieshire, and stayed in a "Wigwam"-basically a mini chalet as it was chucking it down and quite chilly. However, getting to the...
