Evening all,

I bought my first mercedes yesterday. 2012 c63 in arctic white. It's an amazing car, I've been driving it all day today and it really feels like a car that does everything. Refined when cruising and an absolute monster when you put your foot down.

Looking to learn more about the car, will be settling down with the manual and getting up to speed. In the meantime, I'd love any tips or 'wish I knew that' stuff that you guys can tell me.

I've come from an impreza and I loved getting involved around the car with the spanners. I'm terrified of touching the merc.

I have one issue, the passenger door suddenly started not opening. It works if I press the unlock button on the key and pull the exterior door handle at the same time. Have I pushed a button or changed a setting somewhere or something?

Thanks guys

If anyone can recommend a good indy in the Croydon/south london area I'd be grateful.

Hello and welcome, John.
+1 As per Blobcat's post for an indy: give Alex a ring/email.

Quick question, what is the mode selection dial called? (And why might it have gone really stiff, over the course of a day).
