Hi All, Yesterday (Tuesday) at 8am I dropped my car off at the dealership to have the comfort seat none working pneumatics investigated. He phoned me today to say he has "some" news.. He said "The air pipe coming from the pump had a chafe through it and they had done the authorized repair".. Ooh...

Hello I really never believed about oil going into MAF sensors. Today I found this: K&N Response to Mass Air Flow Sensor Concerns Ive been using K&N Filters for 60,000 kms with no problems. Check the VIDEOS in there...

Hi all, I have conflicting stories from various Mercedes dealers over keyless go/entry cards for a 2003 CL. I have one card that is damaged but working and would ideally like 2 cards so have asked 3 Merc dealers how to get 2 new cards (1 to replace the existing 1 and 1 new). Dealer 1 - said...

I won this and went to collect it today: eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace Messy ad, but I had sent seven (yes seven) emails asking clarification. All MOT's? Yes = actually no, only two present Full Mercedes history? Yes = er, no, duplicate book, first two years blank, 3 Mercedes stamps then 3...

The ongoing saga with my C270 continues.... I called today to check when I'll be having my car back and was told that the part they need to fix the rear screen demister also works the fuel gauge (!!?) So they've had to find the part which will be here tomorrow. Does this sound right to anyone...

Hi, Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, but I would like the truth from someone really in the know, not just what you think should be done. I have a W204 C180 K. My preference would be to change oil in the gearbox, but at my last service I prompted the dealer about it and had a call back...

Hi All, about to take a trip to Ireland in my 2003 320CDI. Decided to check spare wheel today just in case. Currently have 18" alloys fitted with a 17" steel spare. I have read various comments about needing shorter bolts to fit the steel spare. Then again I have also read that shorter...

An article in todays Daily Mail reports that a forthcoming article in the weekly UK car magazine "Auto Express" reveals the true facts and figures behind the so-called 'ECO CARS' and that they are not as green as their makers claim. Makes for very interesting reading...

Having only recently moved to the MB brand from BMW, I was a little alarmed to read on here posts about rust etc. My son has added to this by suggesting that MB paint is "soft" and not very resistant to bird droppings etc (he worked in the motor trade until recently). I know certain models do...

....please. My fathers contemplating trading his 51 plate C270 (19k miles only!) for a new E270CDI A'garde. A wee while since i spent much time on the MB forums, so looking for some honest answers on owners experiences with this model (or the 320CDI) please. I'm also wary that MB...
