An amber engine light came on my 2016 E350d last night. The car seemed fine, but then got a slight lack of power for a second accelerating, bit like a mis-fire. The car is hardly being used at the moment so planning to wait until next month when it goes in for it's service. In the meantime any...

The rubber restraining strap/tether on my fuel cap has snapped, any idea if you can buy replacements. Ebay search shows only complete caps for Mercedes. Thanks

I go into Hooley Bridge Mill, Bamford Road, Heywood quite a bit. There is a garage there who seems to work on mostly Mercedes, some older, higher end cars. Think they are called A&A Motors, don't know if anyone has used them?
