Hi both, I'm thinking about buying a cls shooting brake but can't seem to justify the funds for one at the moment, I'm going to see how the wife gets on first with hers lol I have a Saab Aero 180 estate which for the funds is great

Welcome aboard. I’m running a 220 CLS Shooting Brake and love it. Moved from a 3.0 Jaguar XF and barely notice the drop in cylinders or power.
It also tows our Coachman 520/4 caravan with ease.

Hello and welcome to you

Well I’ve got to wait a little longer, the trader I was buying the car off has gone and sold it to someone else, pissed off is an understatement

 

[TheGoldenShot]

Going Monday to look at another e220, it's not got the air scarf but has everything else so I'm told, fingers crossed its as good as he's saying, it's a private sale not got them pesky traders

Hi all been reading about the e class auto and it’s recommended that the ATF fluid is changed at 40thou, has anyone got a rough idea how much this would cost at an independent dealer, thanks for your help, I’d rather have as much info as I can as a bargaining tool

Welcome to the forum, enjoy it.

 

[TheGoldenShot]

I've done a search and it seems that it should cost about 80 to a100 notes, does this seem a fare estimate

Welcome GoldenShot.

Hi all yes I’ve bought a e220 convertible, I’m after help on best place in Birmingham for body repairs as it needs a rear bumper repairing and the alloys repairing as they have been kerbed

 

[Smart320]

An eclass auto box will be around £200 to change fluid and filter maybe a little less if you do not change the fluid in the t/converter. Definately more than £170 if they do the job properly and use the correct fluid. Make sure you use a MB Indi not your local garage

 

[TheGoldenShot]

Thanks for the info on the ATF and gearbox, We use a good independent garage at the moment and think we will take merc there, just need to find a decent body shop now that don’t charge the earth
