As the weather was conducive this morning (and not being sure if I'd have the time to do again before the weather turns and the nights start to draw in) I thought I'd give the exterior of my E55 a good going over this morning. It took a bit longer than I'd planned but I'm pleased with the...

I wonder if anyone has come across an issue with the boot release on a W210 (specifically 1999 E55), whereby the boot release will operate, either from the key fob or from the console button, precisely ten times before failing? After failing, the boot can still be opened via the mechanical...

I'm thinking of getting a bluetooth handsfree kit for the car and thought it would be useful to have one that I could move between our various vehicles. I came across the Parrot MINIKIT Neo 2HD and wondered if anyone here had one and, if so, whether you'd recommend it? Also, is anyone...

My recently acquired W210 is missing its boot lid mounted warning triangle so I thought I'd have a look on eBay for a replacement. I've searched for "W210 warning triangle" but the couple that come up don't look right to me. I then saw this one from a W124 and I wondered if this will also...

Having recently acquired my first MB which, after a few weeks use, showed up a few issues that needed investigating, another Penarth garage I use recommended that I take my car to Prasad Shetty at Wales Auto. Prasad has done a great job in diagnosing and fixing those issues, keeping me...

My recently acquired 1999 W210's rear Parktronic system isn't working (the front system is working perfectly) and I can't figure out why. :wallbash: When I turn the ignition on, the system self-tests correctly - all orange and red segments light up on the rear Parktronic warning indicator...

I was just wondering if anyone else had seen this month's Quentin Willson "Classics on the Cusp" article about the W210 E55? As I'm currently in the process of buying a 1999 model, I was heartened to read that QW thinks these are on the verge of achieving proper classic status and that...

Can anyone tell me the official name for this shade of blue please? The car is a pre-facelift (1999) W210 E55 AMG if that helps? Thanks, Roger

Has anyone had any experience with the DVLA's online portal showing incorrect details for their car and then getting them corrected? I've checked out a used MB that I quite fancy buying by putting its registration number into the DVLA's MoT history checker. This showing incorrect info, such...

Hi everyone, At the moment I'm an aspirational MB driver (unless a 1994 208D van counts?) but I'm on the lookout for a good W210 E55 AMG in the next few months, so I'm mainly lurking in the forums at the moment, finding out what 'good' looks like. I have to say that my initial impressions...
