Do you happen to have a link to the pucks dude please?
Sure. I got these to suit the recess in the sill 2 x Mercedes Benz Rubber Jack Jacking Pad adapter Tool Hard Rubber A B C E G M R 4260446390554 | eBay
And these to suit my particular axle stands. (I think the same seller has others for alternate brands which have a different profile seat on the axle stand)
Sealey Axle stand Jack Pads for AS2000F Axle Pad Axle Stands Rubber Jack pad x2 | eBay
Sold by Sealey Model AS2000F will also fit Aldi, Lidl, Wilco, Steetwize and many others. When jacking a car this should be done on solid level ground, the jack pad should be placed in the centre of the trolley jack head which must larger than the pad and jacked from and too a flat surface.

The upper puck is keyed into the recess in the sill, and the lower puck is keyed into the axle stand. That leaves two high friction flat surfaces to compress against each other under the load of the car. It does require a little extra time to ensure the car lowers centrally onto the ‘stack’.
Appreciate the note of caution, I certainly don’t want to get squashed. First Merc I’ve had and first car with recessed slots in the sills so bit if a head scratcher on how to use axle stands without damaging the car. What does everyone else do?
Me, ramps when under, jack when working on a wheel with said wheel slung under car.

An up and coming road trip to the South of France. Hopefully with lots of roof down driving, led to the purchase of a set of luggage tailored to the C Class Cab. Tried the fit today, it’s perfect. Cannot wait for the day of departure

Well that's your wife's luggage sorted. Where are you going to put your bag? On the back seat?
thought the luggage might help swmbo better understand space restrictions; but no you’re right, I don’t get space in that lot

I really didn’t want to decorate so I convinced Mrs D that it would be a good idea driving around antique shops, furniture shops and garden centres.
The weather has been like the final throws of Armageddon so what went out as a clean car went home absolutely filthy. A normal person might wash it.
Not me I took a different clean car to pick up the furniture we bought whilst driving the other car, so it also had to drive through the same fields and lanes and got filthy too.
It’s the first time I’ve driven one of them for three months or so though, so it was great to take it out for a spin, love that car. Decorating avoided to do a great day too.

I must be getting old , just bought a B180 d SE on an 18 plate .Decided that with my retirement moving closer we would reduce to two cars. My wife found the steering on the BMW X1 too heavy so for the past three years has been driving an old Peugeot 1007 . She wanted to get a Seat Arona and after trawling through the `net I decided to look at what Mercs would suit both our requirements and budget . A class was too cramped for her, C Class too big. Saw that a B class was "due in" at the local dealer and called in on the offchance that it had arrived. It was awaiting prep in the workshop and we struck a deal so now look forward to collecting it next week. Still have the Boxster for high days and holidays , though I must admit I do miss my old 450SL (R107).
