Hi, Could someone advise with regards to Wing mirrors the difference between the inners in the year of models. My W210 OS mirror spring retainer is damaged, the metal casing had cracked so I need a new one. I've bought a replcement but it is different. It looks like MB redesigned the casing...

my ML recently blew it's trans (needle roller collapsed in the trans) so i fitted another. Prior to this the handheld scanner I have (carsoft) readout the code as P2502 . it still does despite me trying to erase it. What do Mercedes suggest could also be at fault with this code beside...

I've been toying with the idea of getting a 212 350 CDI (estate) to replace my trusty 211 and have seen one that ticks quite a few boxes. Having had a 212 as a hire car I know I'd like black or grey Sport with the 18's, pano roof and half-alcantara seats. £17k would get me into something...

When I got my W205 the start/stop function was turned on however I have noticed that it is not as smooth as I thought it would be. You can feel a shudder and the car jolts when the engine turns on. It's more of a nuisance than beneficial. I have tried to turn it off n the agility select menu but...

Picked up the beast yesterday, somewhat overwhelmed by the sheer number of configuration options in the setup menus. So two questions (couldn't find anything in the manuals): 1. When reversing (I just have the reversing camera not the 360 one) there is an led cluster mounted to the roof above...

Hi, I hope you are all well. The EGR valve on my 2007 311CDi has stuck in the closed position. It's totally seized. The van is in limp mode and is reporting an error code of P0404. I have electronics/microcontroller/PCB making experience so am pretty confident I can design & build and emulator...
