    Now there's a thought....and I feel a bit daft now, because that had never occurred to me tbh!!🫢😂 Pete

    ClS 219 battery swap.

    Yep, annoying indeed!😡 Odd thing is, did the same on my 2011 212.....no issues at all, didn't even need to reset the windows. Pete

    ClS 219 battery swap.

    Just fitted a new Exide to my '07 CLS, only took a few minutes. Had to reprogrammed the windows, plus the folding door mirrors. The interior lighting is kaput tho! Used to come on when the ignition key was re.oved, obviously when the doors were opened too.....they don't any more. They work on...

    From my 212 estate, a few marks from light usage. As per the pics, part no. is A0998900011 and I believe it also fits C-class estates and MLs. £65 delivered. Pete

    S/W212 17" refurbed alloys.

    Set of 4 Mercedes 17" alloys. These were a spare set for my 2011 E350CDi - 8j x 17 all round, ET48. Fitted with 2021-dated Debica Presto 245-45 tyres, all with even tread wear, with around 6mm of tread remaining. These wheels were professionally restored around 15 months ago, they were...

    CLS (218) music streaming.

    I've given up trying to pair my Galaxy S20FE to the unit in my newly-aquired '06 CLS (NTG1??) - it won't download the contacts, the phone shows it's connected on-screen, but won't allow me to make calls - tried numerous times, but enough is enough! The Bluetooth gadget is in the cubby between...

    CLS (219) Bluetooth adapter

    Is the gadget in the pic something that will give me Bluetooth connectivity for calls? Bit confused, as some places refer to it as a 'Bluetooth adapter', some say it takes a SIM card and acts as a phone itself, rather than hooking up to a separate handset. Pete

    CLS (219) 320/350CDi wanted.

    Looking for a nice C219 CDi, sub-100k miles if possible and preferably a 350. Must have 18" wheels, nav, bum-warming seats and Parktronic (can't believe how many I've seen that were specced without it!). Any colour but black! Pete

    C207 suspension

    As my search for a 212 replacement continues, I've been looking at C207s with the OM642 engine. Some of them have a 'sport' button on the dash in front of the gearchange. Did all 207s have some sort of 'adaptive' suspension? Some that I've seen advertised don't have the sport button. The cars...

    OM642 query

    Do the later 265bhp OM642s suffer from the same oil cooler seals issue as earlier ones, or had they been sorted by then? Pete

    CLS colour query.

    Thanks for the replies chaps. I spoke to the 'smart repair' guy I've used many times in the past - he says it's no problem at all to repair any scratches/marks or whatever on matt paint, so perhaps technology has moved on. Pete

    CLS colour query.

    I fixed my 212's previously-mentioned recurring limp-mode issue - I sold it! 😁 I'm fancying a CLS. Does anyone know if MB ever offered 'matt grey' as a choice on an '09 Grand Edition? Never seen one before, seller says it's paint, not a wrap, just wondering if it's a proper thing. Pete

    E350CDi fault code.

    Yep, 3k limit, holds low gears for longer, noticeable thud into 2nd (or 1st) as the car comes to a halt. Pete

    E350CDi fault code.

    Thanks for that.👍Looks like it would take some 'deforming'! Pete

    E350CDi fault code.

    My 2010 S212 has an annoying, recurring problem! A while back, I had a new egr valve fitted - aftermarket, decent quality, and I've only done perhaps 1500 miles since. Around a couple of weeks after it was fitted, engine went into limp mode, but no eml showing. Limp mode gone after a restart. I...

    Low miles R63AMG

    I ran a swb, 6-seat R500 for a while, in Tanzanite with sand leather, one-owner from new with every option known to man. OK, not an AMG, but it went like stink, sounded lovely, was so, so comfy....and regularly returned single-figure mpg. It was very practical too, but I only kept it for around...

    W212 2012 "Power Steering Malfunction" Hydraulic Steering though!

    Hit a speed bump at....er....speed....fluid in reservoir jumps up in the air and sloshes around, momentarily leaving an air space around level sensor....warning on dash triggered? Perhaps....🤔😁 Pete

    Getting one wheel refurbed?

    I used a mobile 'smart' paint repair guy to do a repair on one of the non-standard wheels on my previous 211 Sport. Perfect match! He also did a perfect job on one of the valve covers on my R1200RT that I managed to drop - folk told me it would be impossible to match as BMW didn't supply a...
