Another day and and another drive to Scotland! Everytime my 3.5 V6 petrol gets this sort of mpg it makes me smile! So glad I didnt get a diesel! One tank of unleaded :)

Evening all, I know Le Mans was over a week ago but I have only just got round to writing a thread on the subject. This year Le Mans was a bit of a funny one for me, I normally love the lead up to the trip, prepping the car and finalising the arrangements, getting all the camping gear...

Arrived back home last night after covering 2639 miles around Europe in 10 days (63 hours driving time). The first two days provided some awful weather but it was non-stop sunshine after that. The car took everything we threw at it, from torrential rain to snow to mountain ascents in...

As some of you know I often visit Scotland from my home in Kent and I don't feel I really know my car until it's done the big run! Well circumstances have meant that although I bought my C350 Elegance at the end of August 2012 I hadn't been able to get to Scotland until this week. My last...

Hi, Pardon my ignorance ... when you upgrade to NTG 2.5 (from Audio 20) does this then give you more functions in the computer. At the moment I only get basic trip info. and would really like the consumption stats. If this has nothing to do with NTG 2.5, is there a way of upgrading the computer...

Hi chaps I have swapped out both batteries on my W211 Merc after getting the Convenience functions temporarily disabled after a cold winter on cold starts - those problems have since cleared However since doing the battery changeover - the analogue clock on the dash has frozen to the time...
