Re: Macan 2 S confuserator now in place

Newcastle must have a large allocation or little demand. I placed an order 2-3 months ago and I am hoping for delivery in Apr-May, still tbc. The guy at OPC Portsmouth contacted me a couple of days ago to tell me that he has got two build slots available for a Macan S in March - I had to disappoint...

Re: S is on confuserator

Out of interest, I just specced one up as close as I can get to my new GLC and is was £63,600, so well over £65k on the road. My Mercedes was only £51k OTR. Yes, I know it’s not a Porsche but it does have better bhp, torque and 0-62 figures than the new S!

Re: Goodbye and Thank zyou

Some initial thoughts, as promised. I’ve had the GLC for four weeks today and I’m delighted with it. It helps that I drove a Mercedes for eight years previously so, although the technology is much more up to date, I am generally familiar with the systems and can find my way round the controls withou...

Re: Goodbye and Thank zyou

I'll post a full review when I get a moment but I'm loving the car and here are a couple of photos.

Re: Battery conditioner/charger

The CTEK 5A MXS5 seems to get good reviews on the Mercedes forum I frequent. I’m thinking of getting once since my last budget one broke last winter when I dropped it!

Re: Insurance

I have just changed my LV policy from my eight year old Mercedes 3 litre diesel to a new GLC43. The increase for the four months to expiry was just £49 with all T&Cs the same - so theft excess of £300 (including £100 voluntary). I have always found LV very good value

Re: Insurance

The vagaries of insurance companies are unfathomable. Our youngest has just left home (hooray!) He informed his current insurers of his new address and received a £100 odd refund (on a £600 premium) We live in a “nice” rural area, he now lives in a “town” environment..... I dont pretend to understa...
