Very nice!

What is the "Auto Lane changing on cruise when indicating"? Does that mean you just put the indicator on and it changes lane without you needing to touch the wheel?

I don’t know if I could trust a car to park itself. I would be scared it would hit the other cars.

[aitkenaj]

It's quicker to do it yourself. Plus I can get closer to the kerb than the system does.

My lad is climbing the walls as he obviously can't go out. School are setting him work to do at home but technically he has left now (no exams for him), so he's cleaned the Mercedes for me inside and out. A top job too -









I'm a little miffed as he's been the first person to use my new cleaning products. But at least she is clean now.

Lovely motor. This is what will replace my siggy in a few years.

[Howy]

He's done a good job there

You're brave...Reminds me of the old Spar advertisement

He's 16 on Monday and has watched/helped me clean my cars for years. I do trust him.

The wife took the Merc to work today and has left her Insignia for him to work his magic. I think I'm made redundant, so I'll stick to the gardening this weekend.

Blummin nippy them mercs was so surprised when i drove one a few years back. Ad have one but am a tight arse and a like my servicing bill to be low unfortunately not with a merc. Got some toys and the seats are mega comfy. Do love the dash. Had the flappy paddles in i know it was a diesel but i cant remember the model it was an estate like yours.

[aitkenaj]

Yeah, it lifts up and goes when you need it to and does surprise a lot of other cars. Mine is a E250 so is a 2.2 diesel with 204bhp.

To be honest the car doesn't encourage fast driving, it's a cruiser. Mid range could be better too, but in Sports mode is a bit of a handful and feels sharer.

Servicing isn't as bad as you think. I use a specialist is Stockport.

Very nice, Alex. I have read it's actually a higher-powered version of the CD220 (both engines having 2143cc capacity). The CDI 250 has proved to be very popular, rather than going for a V6 diesel, which was what MB were aiming for.

All your detailed cars have been a credit to you, and Aitken Jnr will surely follow in your footsteps.
