    HOW TO: W211 Door Mirror

    I know this is an old thread but here's hoping someone may be able to help! RHD 2008 W211 (facelift) E280 Passenger mirror lost horizontal control then three months later lost vertical control. Indicator repeater, heating and fold still work fine. Suspected wiring so decided to have a look...

    New MB - just one price

    Apart from general intransigence there is a general air of uncaring arrogance about the sales staff both new and used. A colleague had a 68 plate S213 E350d. He was looking to change to an E400 coupe and found one at Birmingham Mercedes. A deal was agreed (nothing off with very little movement...

    W211 newbie issues

    If the car is a 2008 it will be a facelift. If the comand has an SD slot it will be Ntg2.5 and should load music from the sd card if fitted. Having said that a 32g sd card probably holds way more tunes than needed! Does the centre console have a single lid or clamshell? If its a clam shell...
