I have a 03 E320, which is great, except for the pathetic horn. Would have thought it would have twin tone horns, for a top end model? What is recommended to add to oem fitted?

I usually holiday in Europe & go via Dover/Calais. As I enjoy my wine I stock up in Calais on return , where there are plenty of places to buy. However, next year I am going to Spain on Brittany ferries, Portsmouth/Bilbao. Looking on the net I can't find any supermarkets/wine stores in Bilbao...

I have an E320 petrol & was glad to see on a trip to Gloucester, that at a Jet garage I could refill for 120.90/ltr. Diesel was 10p/ltr dearer. At last my E 320 is proving its' worth!

I'm on holiday in Germany & today did a run from Oberharmersbach to Baden-Baden via the B500. This road is renowned for the scenery & driver enjoyment, as it is very testing due to the numerous hairpins & sweeping curves in the road. Some nice stop off points as well. Probably not best done in...

I have an E320 '03 first registered in May. Mercedes started galvanising their cars around this date, so how can I find out if mine was done? I have no evidence of rust so hopefully it was .

I have an 03 E320 which has a switch on the dash to raise the rear headrests when required. Recently, when I had rear seat passengers, the headrests would not raise when the switch was pressed. The motor could be heard running to no effect. Any ideas what's wrong?

I have an '03, E320 petrol which has done 68k. I am having it serviced soon - should I have the ATF fluid replaced? It is running fine but I have no service record of this fluid being done.

Just got back from my hols. in Czech Republic, where I did about 2k. On the autobahn, I cruised at 90/100 mph where possible & the computer showed around 32 mpg, which was good. I found the most economical cruising speed was 80/85 mph where it showed 34mpg. Cruising around 70 only showed 30mpg...

End of May, I am taking my E320 petrol on holiday to the Czech Republic,about 30 miles from the German border. I want to visit Pilsen & Dresden & think Prague will be too far for a day trip.Any advice on visiting these cities appreciated. Any other towns/places you can recommend, plus any route...

I will be using the German autobahns to get to the Czech republic when I go on holiday this April. I have a low mileage E320 petrol & will need to get a move on to reach my destination on time. Anybody know what mpg to expect when cruising at 80, 90, 100, 110? Last year in France I got around...

I have an E320 petrol, 03 reg., but when I need the performance on kick down , it is slow to respond. I would have thought that by flooring the accelerator the box would chose the appropriate gear to give max. acceleration. but it seems a bit hit & miss. Is it better using the gear selector to...

Was told of long delays on A16 before entering Belgium, today. Roadworks on A16 but police redirecting traffic off A16 for vehicle/passport checks. I'm off tomorrow to Germany, so will use the coast road via Bray Dunes to Adinkerke & hopefully avoid the jams.

I have an E320, 03 vintage with only 58k on the clock, so is in good condition. However, during its 13 years, it has only had the usual wash & vac. when needed. Decided to give it a good going over, so booked Mobivaleting, based in Gloucester, to do the job. They arrived [2] in a self contained...

My 03 E320 petrol was due for a B service @58k. However the brake fluid & plugs [12] would need changing @ 60k, so I decided that due to the age of the car, I would use a local Nissan garage that I have had used before, to give it a major service inc. the brake fluid & plugs. It also had a...

I have an 03 E320 petrol, which has only done 57k. When I got it nearly a year ago [left to me by a dear friend in his will] it had 8 stamps in the service book from a Merc. inde. Trolling through the display, I came across a message saying F service due in 18 days:confused: This is...

I have an 03 E320 & am having a problem with my door mirror. After parking on the road I returned to the car to find the drivers' side mirror hanging loose from the surround, just supported by the wiring. Probably been clipped but no obvious damage. There are 2 curved metal clips on the...

Went to use my E320 petrol [93] today after it had not been driven for 9 days. Every thing completely dead. Had to gain access via the key & not even a glimmer from any lights. Fitted a new Halfords battery in April when I first owned it & it has been fine since. I tried to charge it but my...

I have a recently acquired 03 E320. When I have the w/wipers going & use the turn indicator, the wipers stop working! Not an ideal scenario in heavy rain. Presume there is an electrical problem but where do I look?

My '03 E320 had bad corrosion on the top half of the headlight lenses. After looking at several remedies on You Tube, I decided to have a go. First used 600 W & D using plenty of water, then next 1200 w/d, using lots of elbow grease. I was a bit worried that the lenses were now completely...

My '03 E320 has corrosion around the wheel studs on all 4 wheels. No curbing on the wheels, so could this be a diy job & if so, how do I go about it re rubbing down & painting?
