Hi, Ordered a new E Class. Got pretty much everything with exception to the Driving Assistance Package. This contains: Distronic Plus with Pre-Safe® Brake Active Blind Spot Assist Lane-Keeping Assist PRE-SAFE® PLUS DISTRONIC PLUS with Cross-Traffic Assist (DTR+Q) Enhanced Brake Assist...

Always admired the mid 90's sl500 roadster for its sleek lines and I notice that cosmetically mint ones with full service history can be found for around £5k.Would I opening myself up to a whole world of expense with one of these or not? Obviously I dont expect to run one on a shoestring! Would...

I recently saw this ad for an 89 SLC and was rather taken with the car. I confess that the colour scheme - and the interior in particular - was what attracted me, but I wondered if I was in danger of committing myself to something regrettable! SLC COUPE 450 For Sale (1979) on Car And...

Hello everyone, I have just joined and although I do not have a MB at present have had a number over the past decades. My very first MB was a S420SEL, it was a brilliant car which I changed at just under 100,000 miles and often wondered why after the fact, it was a 1980's car, sorry can not...

Hi all, first post cherry popping right here, had to seek some opinions I can't wrap my head around the back lights on the A class looking a tad bit chunky. Was considering a little bit of tint spray to tone it down, though I want to stray away from the full on tint front and back... thoughts?

I've just bought a ten month old C63 from a Mercedes dealership. The car has done 6000 miles so was pretty much immaculate when I first went to look at it. It's fitted with the optional 19" multi-spoke alloy wheels. My pet hate is scuffed alloys so I checked them all carefully and they were...

Hi all Just considering changing our 210 E320 estate and there is a nice looking 2005 E270 CDI estate for sale locally. It has covered about 113K miles and has a full service history (not sure if MB or who carried out servicing at the moment). What are your thoughts on the 2.7 engine please? I...

Hello All, Haven't been on here for a while! First year of my car is out the way, one more to go! I'm constantly wondering what to do when the 2 years are up. Up until recently I was adamant I wasn't leasing again as I had the normal thoughts of "I'm paying £370 per month for nothing at the...

Just wondering what people's thoughts are on LPG conversions on Amg 55 engines . For me it just doesn't seem right and a adds More complexity to it all !!

looking to get one of these will either be a 2013 car or a 2014. any options which are worth looking out for and what owners general impressions?

now, call me a sceptic but i tend to think along the lines of there being no such thing as a free lunch - that said online feedback on some of these "tuning boxes" you can get for diesels is pretty good and i must admit i`m curious. Anyone got any real world experience of them?

Hello, For the last few months I have been having some minor, but irritating problems with my Becker sat nav: * Map slow to change - you've passed a road before it shows on the map * (Linked to above) Turn instructions spoken after you've passed the turning * Satellite detection fails...

Hi, Just summoning up the courage to get another car (only happens every 10 years or so) - I'm looking at a 1-2 year old C220 Diesel Auto Estate. Question: is it worth getting Tiptronic, or not? I do 17k miles per year - mostly on motorway or country A road. As I get older, I drive more and...

Hi Im sure this has been covered over and over again but can you help me out and take a look at the link below and give me your thoughts before I go and see it such as price, spec and what to look out for. My choice is an ML or Range Rover Vogue around a 2003 for the same money. I appreciate...

hi all I'am going to have a look at a 2000 w220 ( 2.8) model tomorrow and would like to hear any suggestions you might have regarding what to check. It has 127k miles on the clock and i have been told it also has a comprehensive service history and receipts to back up all work and its a 1...

The new CLS is on order, Diamond Whie as my current car, but mad moment about the Designo Alanite Grey..... Seems to be a sort of Matt Grey, which as a student in the 80s I feel I could have "rattle canned" from the local auto parts shop What do the team think ? Worth £2,500 because no other...

So my new CLC has paddle shifters... I've used them once and thought 'What the hell?' Then 'What is the point!' Can anyone change my mind on this because I love driving a manual sometimes just to thrash it about a bit but I don't get that with this so I'm just leaving it in auto and thinking...

Hi All, I'm looking to upgrade the audio in my W204 with COMAND. Having trawled various forums for what their members are doing, one of the common speaker upgrade options seems to be. Front Door- Infinity Kappa 60.9 Rear Door - Infinity Reference 6032si (shallow mount) I understand...
