Top Gear Episode Question - Help me find a certain episode

Wifey and I were discussing Top Gear the other day, whilst watching the re-runs on UK TV Gold 2. The one they were showing was the Caravan Holiday, one that we laughed at uncontrollably first time.

As the conversation went on, we remembered the one where Jeremy Clarkson was driving a big car (not sure which) and pulled up outside a Stately Home. He then preceeded to try to program his mobile phone to dial his Manager for the next few hours. Each time he spoke a number, the cars mobile phone dialled a different number causing him no end of stress and my wife and I to cry uncontrollably with laughter.

Questions are folks:-
1. Which episode was this?
2. Which car was he in?

Any help anyone can give us would be apprecaited, cause no matter how many Top Gear repeats we watch, we`ve not seen this one again and want to so much. I have checked the Top Gear Website, but still can`t see the one I want....guess I need to know what else was in the program to locate it?

Can`t remember the episode,but I remember him getting hacked off with the voice activated dialling. :D
I can`t remember if it was a BMW 7 series,with the godawful i-drive,or a Merc.
I`ll plump for the Merc.

Edit - I found something saying it was the Merc CLS 55 AMG he was driving,with the voice activated computer.
Still no idea what episode,but I`m sure the car will help narrow the search.

To be fair to the Merc voice operated system,he was confusing the hell out of it.
It`s designed to operate using simple commands like HOME/OFFICE etc.etc.
Saying things like "Yes,I`d like you to dial home please" will confuse it.
Adding "FOR GOODNESS SAKE,DIAL HOME" will just confuse it more !
Still,it worked for comedic effect. ;) :D
