Cool! you will love it
post some pics before it gets dirty! I would like to see the red interior and the pano roof please
If the weather is better than today I will do so, I am intrigued (and a little nervous) to see the interior as all photos I have seen look very different to the swatch I based my choice on back in September. I am also looking forward to seeing what the metallic white looks like as every car I have seen so far in white is Calcite.
Hopefully I am not in for a nasty shock!!

Well!?? you've had it for 10 minutes already, how is it!?
I guess they are going through the handover with you...
It has arrived...
Just heard from the service manager, apparently, they have been back to merc techs in UK and Germany, and have loaded a new ECU update, and calibrated it to the injectors. He is saying that the car is much quieter. I will collect it when it is fully cold later today, and will be comparing it to a brand new one just delivered, along with the service manager.
He knew that the temp car has the same problems, that is "their next project"
Would have been nice to know that!
I will report back later, I still have a feeling that the journey hasn't ended.
I took delivery of a C350CDI on 10/03/10 and it has the seemingly standard pinking /tinkling noise between 1000-2000rpm under light to moderate load. It seems so unrefined even compared to our Mondeo 4-cyl diesel pool cars at work!
Mercedes Ashford & Canterbury are so unhelpful (refusing to even correct a misaligned steering wheel with a simple adjustment of the tie rods) so wondered what dealer you have used? I live in Whitstable, Kent.
a comment on the "pinking"...
I have had my 350cdi coupe now for six months and the "pinking noise was there under acceleration but I noticed that it seemed to be fuel related.
ordinary diesel it was sometimes bad (Esso & Tesco) less so on BP or Jet and much less on BP Ultimate.
However since using BP ordinary with Millers Diesal Power Ecomax added, the "pinking" noise has completely disappeared. It took a couple of tanks to take effect but no noise !
