    I heard that on the V1 auto pilot but this has the V2. Keeps you dead centre in the lane ... allegedly.

    D4 in R-Design with a few other options. They have all the active cruise etc as standard which shocked me.

    New Car Advice

    Like the look of the CLS but the boots a fair bit smaller than I would like. My car is on for MOT and service @ Mercedes tomorrow so I will have a skeg around the forecourt whilst I am there. I am getting drawn to the E estate tbh, but I am struggling to find ANY with Distronic Plus. Going from...

Ill have a cheeky skeg at some V90’s online as I just seen on in traffic and they look like they might...

    New Car Advice

    Any E estate owners in? 2017 > onwards? The time has come to move on my immaculate c 250d coupe and I am looking at the E estate and A6 avant currently. What are they like in premium plus guise? Spec wise? This also means my c250d coupe (66 plate, MY17) may be going up for sale privately as...

    Changing wing mirror LED on a c205

    You dont need to remove the glass. You can press the clips holding the cover off (x3 of 4) with a long flat head screwdriver by carefully moving the mirror about. Fr there remove the camera (if you have 360) using a t10 torx. Unplug and wiggle the dead led out. Put all back together.

    Changing wing mirror LED on a c205

    Just incase anybody else runs into this. Its a 20 minute job first time. 5 minutes if you have done one before. Mercedes quoted me £145+VAT to change it. I bought the part for £30 delivered (genuine Merc) and now it works perfectly. They have changed the part to a newer style so I might...

    C Class seat recall?

    Anybody else got the letter about recall for backrest frame and driver and passengers front seats? I assume coupe only? Going to ring them to book in now. Sounds like it could be quiet serious. Ref SRPC1817

    C class Front bumper differences

    I think the two fins of trim in the foglight area is a 2018 model+ thing. I have a MY2017 C250 Premium Plus and it doesn't have them.

    C class queries if anyone can help please.

    Oh but you do. No other way of removing the motor unfortunately. Whole dash, including the centre console where the wheel is and the storage box. Biggest job ever for a cheap vent motor.

    C class queries if anyone can help please.

    The fan noise from the left hand vent is a PIA. They ripped my full dash out under warranty so solve (Dread the think the cost) and replaced. Every single loan car I have had has had the same issue. MB seem reluctant to actually solve as it does involve removing dash to get to it. Greasing it...

    What Waxes and Polishes do you use?

    I've never polished a car so cannot comment. Clay Bar always leaves my car feeling Butterly smooth, ready for the first big wax coat of the year. Removed the iron filings we get around here as well (At least most of them).

    What Waxes and Polishes do you use?

    I don't polish but I do wax. Clay Bar first this time of year, to clean up any contaminates / fall out. Collinite 476s for me.
