    [SOLD] Cat n W211 E320cdi Sport- great project

    Just bumping this up, as I would very much like to remain on the receiving end of my wife's affections, and she has not so gently affirmed that she really does not want it on the drive into 2024. Theres a set of 17" Near perfect alloys with almost new winter tyres as well. So depending on how...

    W211 Auxiliary Port - What’s it all about?

    Any recommendations for a bt unit? I’ve just got a long cable from the glove to my iphone with a 3.5mm jack to lightning adapter. I’ve got the HK uograded system and I love the sound and loudness - I don’t want to lose too much of the quality.

    Bonnet badge 06 W211

    Hi, no problem- I'm pretty slow at checking in. TBH, not sure. I wanted to sell the whole thing inc the pretty perfect 18" wheels to someone who knows what it is rather than a scrap dealer, and I wanted to avoid my shared driveway looking like a Mad Max set with a car being slowly stripped. I...

    Still searching….

    Just found this thread. So chuffed you’ve landed in a W211. I’m in love with mine - I grin every time I get in it. fwiw - I don’t bother with the sat nav, I just put my phone in a holder I’ve got on the drivers side air vent and use waze. And I’ve got an audio cable from that, over the steering...

    [SOLD] Cat n W211 E320cdi Sport- great project

    Hi All, So my recent foray into w211 territory has been frustrating, enjoyable and expensive - but worth it. My wife however wants the space back on the drive. I have a nice facelift w211 320 cdi sport that has refurbed wheels, good bodywork and I had just paid for the oil cooler to be...

    Anyone seen any good number plates on cars lately?

    On the A1 near Scotch corner, I saw a trade van from a pasta supply company. LA 53GNE

    W211 v6 love, and maybe some advice?

    Still haven’t managed to get the windows tinted. Unexpected bill for replacement of inlet port shut off motor and maf sensor replacement put a stop to that. Really enjoying driving it - getting about 44mpg on the highway if I keep it at 70. Down to 30 knocking around ferrying kids and parents...

    W211 320 cdi Sport post facelift

    Thanks for all the info - I followed your advice and managed (I think) to get a good one. I had narrowed it down to 2 private sales and 2 traders, but as all were over an hour and half away, it seemed like the traders wouldn’t necessarily be any easier afterwards. I’ve just had it inspected and...

    Does this turn you off as much as it does me?

    Slightly different but in the same context, after trawling ad after ad after ad on gumtree, the bay, bookface etc - I lost count of the amount of: “I brought this X years ago…..” You brought it where? To a movie, to a football match?

    W211 v6 love, and maybe some advice?

    Finally! 64k on the clock, refurbed wheels, pdc, sunroof, memory drivers seat, full service history, linguatronic (whatever that is), HK sound and a set of 17” refurbed alloys with winter tyres almost new. I need to polish and wax it, give the leather a bit of love, get it tinted and then a full...

    W211 v6 love, and maybe some advice?

    Ok - so I’ll get some pics up tomorrow. It was a long delayed journey down and a bigger coming back up and the family needed some attention upon my return. Plus I have to get the 4 spare alloys and winter tyres out into the garage and tidy it up before showing her off

    W211 v6 love, and maybe some advice?

    Well, good news (I think) in that i found an 07 plate with 65k miles, black, memory seat, HK upgrade and a brabus chip dealer fitted. Picking up on Friday. Hopefully, my bad automobile luck will end now (someone just dented the rental car in the car park....) and I can get back to thinking I'm...

    W211 320 cdi Sport post facelift

    That great info - really appreciated thanks. So I guess the ability to return it after an inspection only applies to a fairly reputable trade seller? There seem to be so many driveway dealerships on eBay/AT etc. Is it worth me getting a code reader? I guess I am looking for a bargain unicorn...

    W211 320 cdi Sport post facelift

    Looks awesome - I did see that one but it’s a bit out of my budget. Unless I max out the plastic. Super low miles - I guess I should have 50k relatively trouble free. I was thinking (ie hoping)around the 4-5k mark. It is tempting though……
