    W245 B Class: considering buying one. Any tips?

    Same here: nearly all of the diesels use the wet clutch system too according to my research. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    W245 B Class: considering buying one. Any tips?

    Thanks so much for your detailed post and highlighting the areas you’ve had “fun” with. I’m thinking I may need to compromise due to my budget limiting what I can afford in terms of the MB vintage. I’ve seen a nice VW Passat nearby which I might go to see this weekend. Sure it won’t have the...

    W245 B Class: considering buying one. Any tips?

    I have it on my current daily (Mitsubishi ASX) which I seem to recall is chain-driven....but it's covered 90k miles and all is well so far. To be fair..if I could find an auto version of the ASX I'd probably go for it...it's a good car.

    W245 B Class: considering buying one. Any tips?

    My requirements are: - Raised seating position for the sake of my back (currently in a mini SUV so I know my back likes this), - Folding rear seats so I can lug stuff to the tip etc (my last C class didn't have this), - Automatic or at least not a manual, - Diesel due to my annual mileage. -...

    W245 B Class: considering buying one. Any tips?

    Hi guys, I’m tempted to return to the MB stable for my daily driver in the form of a 2011 W245 B200 cdi and I wanted to gauge peoples opinions of them in terms of comfort and reliability. I’m looking at a CVT one (70k miles) which I know is a bit of a marmite choice on most Internet forums...

    I’ve left the fold again

    Yep the ASX Diesel engine is definitely an agricultural one in terms of noise. I’m just hoping it’s also agricultural in being a work horse. Did my first work commute the other day and it returned a healthy 58mpg according the obc so I’m estimated 52mpg real world pump to pump Sent from my...

    I’ve left the fold again

    Well it’s official: I have left the MB fold for a second time and I suspect this time it may be for good. I’ve sold my C320 this afternoon having already bought its successor a week or so ago. Reasons for sale was mainly due to seating position and my sensitive back which didn’t mix too well...
