Thanks for the replies. So i had a go at removing the plate. As said, there was no obvious way to remove the sides etc of the based to get the plate out which was sitting snuggly in the base. So I prised off the plate with plastic trim tools and the plate was stuck on with sticky pads. The based...

Hi all, Im putting private plates on. The rear number late is located in a thin black plastic holder and there is no obvious way to see how the old plate can be removed from this holder. Its a pretty tight fit. The holder is not like the older ones where you can unclip the base and top and the...

Hi all, my wife has recently purchased a 2016 E Class 250CDi Convertible (A207). Lovely car but the only thing missing is Android capabilities. There seems to be plenty of companies in England that will upgrade. Does anyone know of anywhere in Scotland that can upgrade?

Another Mercedes joins my 2014 CLS 250CDi this weekend having traded in my 2010 CLC 1800 Kompressor. The new car is pictured below; Mercedes-Benz E Class 2.1 E220d AMG Line Edition (Premium) Cabriolet G-Tronic+ Euro 6 (s/s) 2dr. 58K miles. So, as far as I can make out this is an A207 ?. Can...

Its an easy replacement. No need to programme anything.

Hi all, my CLS CDI W218 is due for a B service in about three weeks. This is the first service since ive taken ownership about 12 months ago. Im comptent enought to carry out the service myself. How do people record their service if they do it themselves?

Thanks all for the replies. I did see the lowering springs options on ebay but I dont want to lower the car. Ive sent a message off to MB Newcastle (used them before and great service etc) with the car details and see if the confirm these are correct for my car. After owning MGs for the past...

I'll answer my own question! lol. The genuine MB springs are reasonabley priced; Genuine Mercedes-Benz REAR Suspension Coil Spring - ALL Models | eBay

Hi all, Re 2014 CLS 250 CDi W218 23k miles. Sitting in the car on the driveway getting ready to head off on a wee journey and there was a huge bang with a twang to the noise. I suspect the N/S rear spring has gone. I can get two fingers between the wheel arch and tyre on the O/S . . . ...

I don't think this club has any stands at car shows in Scotland as I cant see any relevant old threads. Are there any MB clubs in Scotland who have a stand and displays cars at shows?

The car is still going strong, there is still a connection, albeit much weakened, but yes I'll need to get the cable fixed. I'm not convinced the rodent was at my house in Glasgow (the days of slums in Glasgow are long gone lol). I was told the previous owner in Aberdeen had the car as a second...

Thanks KennyN. Merc novice question coming up! What do you mean when you say windows need reset? Or can the cable be snipped and repaired without disconnecting the battery?

I gave the engine bay a clean the other day and noticed a chewed cable going to/from one of the injectors. Looks like a mouse has been nibbling at the cable. The cable is almost chewed through, there is some copper strands still allowing power through. The car is running fine and I cant feel...

I have a broken Led indicator on my mirror. The replacement part has been ordered and is on the way as I type. I discovered there is a wee light on the underside of the mirror! It's pretty poor light output though, so I'd like to replace this also with Led. Does anyone know what size/ref no...

Thank you sir.
