Just a tadlet over my budget which reminds me to do the lottery tomorrow. A beautiful car. As for being too young to be president of the US I modestly think I am not stupid enough either.

I agree just trying to find one! PS I'm 73!

Thanks. Had a look on Auto trader and yes, the black plastic looks grim on white cars. What really annoys me is that they put low profile tyres that get a puncture if you stare at them on an all terrain vehicle. It's like putting slicks on a tractor. Daft. I will look further! It is also v...

Yes I am also tempted by the BMW. I briefly had a 635 which was brilliant, bought it at an auction as I needed a car quickly-had it nearly a year and sold it for the same money. Won't do that again. My only reason for the E class is the huge load capacity, I suppose I could always buy an old...

Thanks Billy Boy, Looks like you have had as many cars as I have! I've had A6 Audi Quattros and Allroad (Manual and worst gearbox ever). Also had a Discovery but managed to sell it before it bankrupted me. But have had E series for about 10 years. What is the difference between an All Terrain...

I have owned E series estates for years. I am now thinking of buying the 4matic version. Does one have any thoughts on which is the best engine, any problems with the car etc etc.

I am afraid to say that oiling the hinges did not work. I therefore bit the bullet and paid £116 for a new tailgate latch. I fitted it today and it solved the problem. It is not difficult to fit, have a look on you tube. Basically there are four bolts in the two handles in the tailgate (two in...

My Hinges now ooze with oil but lock still clicks like a good'un. I reckon it must be the locking mechanism but can see no other threads to suggest otherwise.

I have the same problem and went onto "ask a mechanic" who also suggested oiling the hinges. I have pumped WD40 and some spray grease with no success so far. Will see, it does seem a somewhat unsophisticated solution in a high tech car!

I am afraid that quoted MPG and actual are miles apart. My E 300 bluetec hybrid has figures of over 60 bandied about whereas my actual is 43.5. My old 220 Average was 46.5. I am 72 and wish i was a boy racer!

Hi All, I am new to the forum. I have owned E series Mercs for the last ten or so years and bought the hybrid looking forward to the MPG! Wrong-my average MPG is less than my old E 220. I will sell it sometime soon and will but a 4 wheel drive model. Any thoughts?
