After a 2 week wait for an appointment I finally took it into MB on Friday and when I went to collect it they said 'the wheels have been overtightened when the discs/pads have been changed and now need new disc, pads, wheel bearings, hub, AND alloys' - total cost £2833! I was gobsmacked to be...
W205 Coupe 16' needed discs and pads changing, bought OEM ones from MB and gave to trustworthy indy garage near me at work to change. Then I started to get juddering/vibrations when breaking mainly at high speeds, juddering got worse and worse so then I took the car back to the garage about 4...
So last month (7th Dec) I bought a new set of brake discs and pads from Mercedes - cost just over £300, for my W205 Coupe. I got them fitted at a local garage near me. From the evening I picked the car up the brakes didn't seem right - the brake pedal would slightly shake when braking at higher...
So this week the drivers side heated seat isn't turning on. I press the button to turn it on, the 3 lights come on for a few seconds and then turn off. The passengers side works fine though. Has anyone had this problem or know the fix for this? I'm hoping it's not going to be a very expensive...
Considering buying a private number plate for the first time. I’ve seen a D4 NXO which the current owner has always had printed as D4N XO. What are the chances of getting pulled over? And what actually happens if you do? I’ve seen so many people with plates that have been moved like that.
Definitely will get a compressor and can of goo to put in the boot for emergency use just in case. Thanks guys put my mind at rest to get normal tyres.
Just trying to make sure I go for a tyre that's got good grip but also more importantly will be good economically and last a while. Any other...
So my C Class Coupe has had the standard Pirelli P Zero run flat tyres but its now come the time to change them. I was thinking of changing them all to normal tyres but wanted to see if this is quiet common to get done and if anyone has had any problems doing this?
My fronts are 225/40 R19 and...
I have a 16' plate C Class Coupe which has done 24,000 miles. It has had 3 years of MB servicing and is now due its Service B. MB quoting me £428 for the service but I have also gotten a special (NHS offer) quote from Mercedes independent specialist garage in Manchester for £234. Of course I...
The thing is over the last few weeks I've driven the car the stop/start rarely ever became activated. I know there are lots of variables that must satisfied before it does. It only starting coming on more regularly a few days before the incident where it stopped and wouldn't start occurred. And...
So I called MB and they said as the service in April was done with the previous owner then I am not covered under the breakdown cover - the cover runs for the owner not the car so when I get it serviced next year then I will get the breakdown cover (unless I take out a service care plan with...
Thank you! The warranty finished in April. I literally have no idea what to do - I'm located in Manchester. And yes MB quoted me £110 just as an investigation fee before anything else. Do you know of any specialists I could take it into?
The warranty finished in April. So as it was serviced by...
So a little background - Mercedes C Class Coupe 2016 Auto Diesel (done 12k miles) bought privately about 6 weeks ago. It had a Mercedes service just before I purchased it. Over the last few weeks the auto stop/start function rarely ever turned on green but I didn't think much of it. Then a few...
