    Steering rack bolts recall

    Just found this thread today. My car 212 e63 (2015) went in for the steering bolt recall in July, they assessed that it required a new rack. Part on back order, 3.5months later and the rack was replaced today including geometry. No mention of any software updates though!

    STAR DIAGNOSIS in the Scotland Central Area

    Pulled the battery and fully charged it. Tried the various reset procedures again but still no luck. Spoke to Hart motors on Friday but they can see me until this Friday and not sure if their STAR machine will work with my 129. It’s a ‘92 car. Don’t really want to wait a full week only to find...

    STAR DIAGNOSIS in the Scotland Central Area

    Car has been in storage for the last few months, took it out last night. Soft top not opening. Windows going down ok and can hear a click from the rear. I’d taken the battery out to charge, so thinking things might be a bit mixed up. Be good to get the codes read and cleared.

    210 E55 AMG to 211?

    The 211 55k is the natural progression for me, I've owned the s210 e55 for over two years now and have to say I love it. I bought it from a forum member with my eyes wide open to the common 210 rust issues. I've spent a bit on bodywork but no more than I would've on pretty much any other 16 year...

    E280 at the drag strip

    Is 15.08 secs for the quarter mile at 91mph? If the car is doing 0-60 in 5.5 secs, it must be tailing off after 60mph. Those figures equate to a 6.7 secs to 60 which is still very good.

    R129 SL500- It never rains but it pours -Transmission, Injection, Thermostat...

    Sorry to hear you're still having issues Dennis. The rough running, spluttering etc could be a bad coil pack. Do you have a local specialist that could take a look?
