• Hmmm. An A Class? 20 Aug 2004 (Forum)
  Does anyone have any experiences good/bad or (sensible) opinions on the Mercedes Benz A-Class? I've been kicking around the idea of a new/ish car for a bit and have a slight problem in that I've got a small garage with an odd approach - can't get the Clio in, for example. I borrowed an A-Class 160Cdi Avantgarde from the local dealer today to weigh it up and see if it would fit in.
• M-B: 1. Bargain oil change 2. Servicing 5 May 2003 (Forum)
  Many, many minutes were spent trying to find the filter canister on the engine block, which reminded me of feeling foolish when I took ages to find the sump plug on my Golf VR6, which is hiding at the back at an angle. Anyway, in case anyone else doesn't yet know, the filter canister in a Mercedes-Benz E320 Coupé is well hidden at the back of the engine and not at all easy to unscrew. And, while I'm here, it may be of use to others to know that I have had written confirmation from RAC Warranty that the extended warranty on the MB does not require main-dealer servicing, provided that "the vehicle is still serviced in accordance with the manufacturer's schedule and that any parts fitted must be main agent parts".

• Young driver education 25 Jun 2013 (Forum)
  I know this because tomorrow (Wednesday) Autocar will be revealing the full details of a new scheme called Autocar Start. It’s been put together with the Mercedes-Benz Driving Academy, Smart and Carrot Insurance, with the single goal of trialling a scheme that does something practical about addressing the problems young drivers face. Without giving too much away, for a small deposit and set monthly fee, new drivers will lease a fully insured Smart car, and be instructed by the Mercedes-Benz Driving Academy both before and after their test.
