things

I have updated to the latest UK maps on my new E350. Lots of strange things but one REALLY annoying one. When you get to a junction I am told keep left to turn right and vis versa. It also shows in the lane indicators in the screens. So, "take the right hand Lane and then take the first exit on...

A couple of things I've learned over the years about ABS sensors and thought I would share. One key driver of failure over time is rust, this can have two impacts. 1. if it's under the toothed pulse ring then the ring expands and can have 2 issues. a) the ring expands and begins to rub on...

How long before other councils adopt this ruling? https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/jan/27/westminster-council-first-charge-extra-park-diesel-cars-air-pollution-emissions It doesn't seem that long ago we were being advised to buy diesel cars by the government. How times change...

I love the look of my C220 Coupe but couldn't help thinking there was way to much silver in the grill so I set about sorting it out, gotta say I'm happy with the result Before After Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi all While cleaning out the estate today I noticed 2 plastic nut type things attached to the rear interior wheel arches. One is almost flush but the drivers side one is sticking up a lot more. Does anybody know what they are/affix too? Car is a W204 estate. Many thanks in advance of anyone...

Hi all, As above, looking at an SLK250 for a family member The one in question is a 2012, 26.6k mile example SLK250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY AMG Sport 7G-Tronic Plus Questions (if someone may know the answer, haven't got round to visiting the dealer yet): - Do they have sat nav, heated...

Used Cars for sale in Oxford, Oxfordshire | Vehicle Sourcing Ltd e500 has poor spec but for £2k I can't really see you could go too far wrong. On winter tyres and high miles but if it has a resaonable SH it could make a good hack for a couple of years. 850 looks nice too.

So, what do you do? When it comes to new tyre do you buy...

The tops of the wings on my G and the bonnet have quite a few scratches that could do with being polished out. I suspect good old T-Cut is passe now, so any recommendations on a good compound to use by hand (I don't have a machine) on black paintwork please? Thanks

Gents, I'm on a three line whip to get the garage a little less cluttered. We may be moving so a downsize of chattels is needed. Briefly: Toyota LC 120 genuine load liner and grey floor mats. Also have grey leather third row seats. CL500 W215 Mercedes rubber boot tray. W211 saloon...

Hi Had the Car in at the Mercedes Indy in Ibrox this morning. After doing the safety check I was informed that the car had 35 fault codes. They appeared to have been stored for some time. And after clearing them appear to be gone. Was told the nearside font Ball Joint had a slight amount of...

While I really love my new C class, which is a cut above my old Mondeo 4.5 powershift, there are somethings where the Mondeo was far superior. I won’t include interior and boot space in my list as it was my choice to pick a smaller car so here is my list of items where I have been left...

Hi, Few things that I have noticed about the new car after moving from a W204 C63 507 Coupe: 1) I think the ride, even in comfort mode seems quite stiff - not sure this is a good thing - anyone else noticed this? Note I have a track car that is VERY stiff - I am more referring to overall...

15 Things You Didn?t Know About Mercedes-Benz – My Super Cars

I've driven the car for the first time in the dark. 2 things seemed odd: the interior lights don't go off completely but stay very dim. I assume this is adjustable? The headlight switch doesn't illuminate the settings around the dial, just the dial. Is this normal? Not sure the car is sitting...

I found out recently that manufacturers intend to phase out OBD2 ports and add SIM cards to ECU's to contact emergency services in case of an accident. Oh and of course to prevent anyone other than the main dealer working on your car ! Interesting thought for people like myself who buy cars...

Guys I may have to travel to Cornwall (I live near Guildford) to collect something with a trailer that I may (!!!) have bought. I have access to said trailer but I suggested to the Mrs that we have a night/weekend away, rather than me doing the 4.5 hr each way journey in one hit by...

I've finally decided after much soul searching to replace my old rusty CLK with a more modern CLK500 5.5. My thinking is 99% of the AMG performance but with 50% of the running costs. I'm looking for a 500 with the full AMG kit in coupe form. Bit like this one: Mercedes-Benz CLK500 5.0...

Me again :-) I have a few things already that i will be checking when I go and look at getting my first MB its a facelift 2006 E320 Sport. I know there should be a first aid kit under one of the seats but is there other stuff? MB kits? Warning triangle bulb kit etc? Any common...

Hi All I'm new to MB and MBClub, so first hello to all. I have and E280 CDI Avantgarde estate on a 55 plate (W211 I think) and am enjoying the drive, comfortable, quiet and quick (well I did have a Discovery before). And I have a question, the alarm has gone off a few times now (twice today...
