Hi, This sounds sensible. I'm happy to verify I own the car in question! I understand the car has latched which you push in, AFTER the initial bonnet release. I just can't get it to pop up to that semi open stage one level. Can anyone help - I've also tried holding the car upside down - that...

Hi there, Thanks tried this, though it will not budge at all. Any further ideals please?

Hello, I just bought an 1980's era SEC500 which has been laid up for 10+ years. The bonnet release does feel attached to something but it just doe not release the bonnet. What is the best approach for me to get this bonnet open in this kind of situation? Other than cutting a giant hole in the...

Thanks guys. Plugs are due a change. Air filter was done in the last 500 miles. What plugs should I get for the E55. I know I need 16 of them (can search for this result on here if you think best). Is there any reset I can perform or should I look at more real world problems like suggested...

Hello :) Not posted much on here but I own an E55 which I enjoy a lot. Recently it has developed a not very pronounced idle which is a bit up and down and I get the feeling the once 'snappy' response is a little more delayed than a year or so before. What can I try please? I have no error...

Hi all, What spark plugs should I be buying to replace on my E55 AMG please, made in 1998 (W210) I've had good luck with NGK plugs before now. The site recommends the NGK BKR5EIX-11. Thanks, Jon

Hi guys, Apart from using a claw hammer, which I was close to doing earlier today. How do I remove my sill trim so that I can access the two bolts holding the wing on hidden by this? I've taken the 3 8mm bolts out, read someone where that you just give it a good pull but I don't want to break...

nope, replacement was also from a pre facelift car :)

Memory seats yes. It is an AMG E55 1998.

Hi guys. Neither mirrors fold in to the car. Both mirrors have a manual spring 'fold' to them if you push on them/hit another car (which I've not done yet) The NS mirror has an auto dimming facility. But I think you are talking about the wires and the motor, which I can move from either mirror...

My car is a pre facelift, it was produced in 1998.

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...

Hi all, I bought these for my car, I no longer need them. They are as new, in black primer and rust/dent free £100 the pair. Sleaford, Lincolnshire

coalville126 What did you end up doing, interested to see the above mirrors again in your post. I'm in the same situation, did you buy these? RHD Side Mirror Glass Offside Fits MERCEDES W210 W202 W140 2000-03 Facelift OEM | eBay Jon

Okay, well I'm not planning on replacing them with new parts; which is why I'm on here asking for 2nd hand components. My question (I realise this is in a wtd thread and I can repost this else where if better) is where can I find these mirrors - what other cars did they share them with...
