If you have Command 2.0 0r 2.5 with TV I have some input and output adaptors for sale on E bay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5776119743&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&rd=1...

I spotted this on ebay:- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4516648493&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT Has anyone bought one - are they any good? I presume someone obtained the original disc set and has run off a few pirated copies. Nice little earner, Rodney!

fuel additive used at service by dealer Just had service by stealer on my S320 CDI (3 year one at £973 - ouch!) and the invoice lists a fuel treatment being used and charged £10.95 for the privelige.Is this similar to some of the additives mentioned here? If so there cant be warranty issues if...

The problem for people with newer cars with warranties is that using an independant garage may give MB an excuse to refuse any warranty claims. Also when selling the car if the service stamps are not genuine MB, buyers are put off. Although legislation to level the field is in place the...

I would consider extending the warranty

Yeh they do! its called a pullman On a more gloomy note have a look at these! :eek: http://www.fortune.com/fortune/investing/articles/0,15114,517706,00.html and http://www.mercedes-benz-usa.com/index.php

yeh fuzzer your damn right! Mind you 3 year old W211 will be dirt cheap probably. What happened to Rock solid Mercedes residuals.

How does he compare the W210 to newer W211 in terms of reliability. PS. Does your wifes uncle's best friend ever need chauffeur cars to cover the westcountry?

Cor blimey you could get an E Class for that money- almost!

I dont use any additives- why would you want to? The latest diesel injection systems are pressurised much higher so probably unwise to add anything to fuel. Dont modern fuels have everything taken care of? I just had new injectors fitted under warranty on W211 E Class. For what reason I dont...

Hello Greg I pay Mercedes (damn fool I am) to maintain my vehicle to its optimum performance and if the oil needs changing dont you think they would do it. They usually take every opportunity to fleece you so are unlikely to miss this one! Thanks for the comments though!

It was my info on "new"gearbox actually. OK so its not a new box, but it was much modified in 99/ 2000 with touch shift system (how often I find I have accidently knocked the stick across to find it trundling along in fourth and needlessly wasting fuel!) and also plastic parts were used...

The mileage is 98 k Wouldnt that be picked up by diagnostics then. What of the juddering? Mercedes of weston-super-mare had 2 in a couple of weeks ago! A colleague of mine was having his fixed there at the same time. My dealer at Swindon had a couple while I was there. Lets face it No...

In reply to some comments made - the one E class I know of was found to have engine coolant in the transmission oil (how does that happen?) which caused the gearbox to be knackered. The police E class I have seen are Avon and Somerset force and have a similar problem. The latest E class has...

Seems like there are many faults with the new E class!!! :eek: I have a high miler (90K miles) W211 E270 CDI with tiptronic box which is playing up. Its vibrates when accelerating from 30 mph, it jerks badly when pulling away especially when going up steep hills and seems to be changing gear...
