Hello

[-AJC-]

Hi everyone, not new to Mercedes but new to this forum.

Currently own a ML 320 CDI, which we hope will be with us for some time. Have previously had a SLK, C280(W204) and an E350 CDI.

Expecting to do much of the maintenance myself as I buck at paying £180ph for Mercedes to do it, their coffee and pastries ain't that good!

First jobs will be the usual service items and then see what's what. Makes a difference to not be chasing performance and rather concentrate on things that make the journeys more comfortable.

Cheers

Andy

Welcome Andy from a fellow brand new member. The above quote of yours is basically my thoughts now...I may use that myself at sometime

Cheers guys.

Must be a sign of middle age wanting to be comfortable but since the roads in the U.K. are so dire I get nervous going above 60mph in case another crater looms. My previous C Class had new rubber and was told all 4 wheels were slightly buckled as a result of our wonderful roads!

Yup, i am old enough to remember when the 'Road Fund Licence' was paid by those who use the roads to maintain/repair the roads. Unfortunately now it appears to be another 'back door tax' for the Government coffers under the prefix of emissions and s*d the state of the roads.
