Can someone tell us all where and how these cable ties are fitted by Merc and pictures would be even better..!?

I wonder if these bushes could be the reason for the 639 gearbox being so notchy and crunchy when cold? Ive had a few now and theyve been the same..

Whats different about Viano seats? Ive taken bulkhead out so I can actually move the seat back and Im much comfier. Going to make up a 50mm spacer for the bulkhead so I can refit but 50mm more space for seat to stay back where Im comfy!! Im 5ft8 hardly big, space with bulkhead is madness...

Ive went from a W447 back to a W639 (now I appreciate the W447 even more!) and I cannot get comfy. The W639 is a 2011 and had standard seats which combined with the bulkhead limiting sliding movement- was super uncomfy. I picked up a comfort captain seat from a pre 2010 model and swapped over...

Ive already picked up a captains comfort seat and recovered it with my fabric! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

After comfort driver seat preferably the double armrest one and in 2011- fabric like pictured. Willing to consider any comfort seat though.. Could recover etc. Anyone? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As above remove alternator and remove outer plastic cover to reveal the regulator. Take regulator part number and search online. If changing just this its very simple. Once removed take a look into where the brushes have just came out of and check the wear on the slip ring. This can be...

Cant help RE lights but agree on cabin, its very small if you are in passenger side and massively smaller than the W639! Im on 10k miles and my front tyres are heavily worn on outer edges, anyone else having this? Merc were supposed to get back to me after checking at service- surprise surprise...

You get a 4x4 but only in LHD in Europe! The sooshing noise takes a bit getting use to but its definitely normal, its just the noise of boost pressure bleeding off. I think itll probably just be autos that you hear it off as its swings between gears etc? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

After all this snow Im really wishing they had done the 4x4 Vito here, thats what I would have had. They are rendered useless with the slightest bit snow in RWD!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks! Haha house clearing?? I dont want to get the back of it dirty do I?? Hence Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well coming up for a year of ownership and still loving it and looking good as ever (even better actually as Ive done a few things to it), its going for its first service tomorrow at just 10k. Small chance I might need to consider selling it in coming months due to possibly getting into...

After buying my new Vito 116 a few months ago Im still loving it. A few minor things Ive noticed though and wondered if any other owners have the same thing... 1: I get a static shock nearly every time I get out the van- very obvious! 2: Whirring noise from brakes if braking hard at...
