Afraid not, we have tried that to no avail, it's to do with the advanced security system.

I'm fully aware that replies to this may suit a DM response due to the security nature in itself, however, here goes... My son has just purchased an ex-Amazon Sprinter to convert into a camper van, it's a FWD model and in lovely condition, low mileage etc, due to the nature of its previous...

Good advice...

I've seen many of them on many occasions use a rattle gun to belt them on, if the torque wrench clicks or beeps they think it's the correct torque, in actual fact its way overtightened! The only is as already said on this post, tighten a little the torque to full setting and in the correct stud...

I was always told not put any form of lubrication onto the wheel bolts or nuts, other than to wire brush the threads, apply a little WD40, allow to dry, refit and torque up. Reason, grease reduces friction between male and female threads thus allowing them to come undone. If correctly torqued...

Hi All.. Just a quickie, I hope! Had a search around on the forum and nothing showing up, when I get within about 400 yds of my house I get a loud beep from the Comand, I did have this once before when we were staying in Wales, the beep happened when about 3-400 yds from our caravan. Not the...

Remove the shockers and swap them over, I did this with my W203 and it was cured, the top mount bushes had obviously become compressed, better handling too.

Top ones for me please, the bottom ones are really horrible!

I think I'd return it for an alternative one, presumably faulty from manufacture.

TBH I've turned mine off on the binnacle display, this is because I like the current road speed showing up and when the Road Sign Assist pops up it blanks this out. I do tend to look at the sat nav screen for the speeds instead.

If the drift pins have been hammered lots because they were stuck, they have likely expanded now and will need drilling out carefully.

Maybe worth giving her a sevice if not done recently too. Air filters make a big difference.

My (2013) C 350 AMG Sport 7g gets into late 20's early 30's around town, I've had 46 ish on a run using cruise. I tow a heavy caravan sometimes too and get around the 30 mark. Love the torque from the V6 Diesel, second one I've had.

Hi All, Just wondering if anyone has fitted a MiVue Samartbox II to a W204 and where they have picked up a constant live and a switched live from. I don't want to go digging around if there is an answer. I don't fancy taking out the head unit unless necessary either, did that last year when...

I managed to get hold of a 12v socket from the luggage area an S204 and I fitted to my W204 using the same fuse point on the SAM, works a treat when ignition on, I could have put it onto a constant 12v point, but, not worth killing the battery by mistake!
