A brilliant update on the Mercedes Sir, i can see a owl face in the rear vents for the back seat passengers, glad it is serving you well.

Yes, I would prefer to just drive something a bit more subtle than this, like a Kia Ceed SW, but it's been in the family for years, and so we may as well keep it!

Service costs....ouch! Thanks for showing your car though. I think you gave a very honest and open review.

Yes, they are a bit alarming, even on a car with really low mileage like this one. Fortunately, my mother is still happy to pay for the maintenance, but not everyone has that luxury.

Good update , can't help but think this is in many ways a step backwards from the previous W204 in terms of build quality , plastic gearbox sump is a joke . Thanks Mr Lloyd .

I have driven an S204 a couple of times, sir, (which we are unable to discuss), and it's really not as great as other people seem to say it is, in my opinion.

Lumbar support is on the side of the seat on the memory fitted cars. There is a little round dial that does up down, in and out

Yes, that is probably right. Don't have this car any more, as we decided to sell it in August.

Nice to see the Merc is still serving you and your Mother well, sir. It looked very smart when I saw it at the Lakeland Motor Museum last year! Out of interest, what car did she have before she chose this?

I am afraid that my mother and I had to sell our cars due to the announcement of the Ultra Low Emission Zone due to having engines which the Mayor of London does not like, therefore I am unable to discuss what she had before on the channel....

I have this model sport premium...the lumbar support is on the base of the seat, put your right hand down the side of seat feel for the button or take a look.

Thank you very much indeed, this car was actually sold back in August.

3:03 you can take out all this plastic shit and put normal tyre it should fit 10:46 lumbar support you got at the side of the seat

Well, the car has been sold now, I am afraid.

It does look lovely in dark blue and those alloy wheels. Nice interior design with the contrasting black and white. As for the cost of parts: that factor will likely keep me away from this brand.

I think in a way it is sort of good that a Mercedes is not a cheap car to run, as it does should give the brand a tiny more exclusivity in a world where Audi was the Number One best-selling make of car in this country last month, even outselling Ford.

Interesting what you say about MB parts. Volkswizard , on his channel, does some servicing on his various VW cars and uses parts from manufacturers who actually supply VW so identical in all respects . Big savings if you do that .

Yes, we do that with the SsangYong, actually. Since it is my mother's car (but not in her name any more), she doesn't mind so much about just paying for it.
