    Air conditioning split hose W222 S500e

    Morning All I recently had my a/c fixed in my car ( or at least I thought I had ) but last Friday I was driving home and I heard a loud pop and then saw some smoke appear around my car, from the back I think. Then after another couple of minutes the air vents all started blowing hot air into my...

    S500e PHEV owners manual 2015

    Thank you so much Graeme I really appreciate this. Apologies for my late reply, I have been busy trying to sort out the usual foibles that one has when you become the new owner of a s/hand S class.

    S500e PHEV owners manual 2015

    Hello All I recently bought a 2015 S500e PHEV and the seller didn't have the owners handbook (despite saying otherwise). Does anyone know where I can download a pdf UK version please? Failing that I know they're available on eBay but the 2 sellers that I have contacted have told me that the...

    Mercedes w111 with a 5.6 litre engine transplant

    Thank you, I thought that's what they might have been. Possibly horrific to some but having lived in London for the past 53 years I can understand why the owner did it.

    Mercedes w111 with a 5.6 litre engine transplant

    Hello everyone, it's been a long time since I posted anything but my son asked me a question about a car that he spotted in Central London recently, Basically he wanted to know what the 4 semi-circular metal holes are, front and back, under the chrome bumpers of this converted car? Does anyone know?

    S-Class Buying Advice

    I swapped my COMAND system for a double DIN Pioneer unit that I had previously installed in my 2007 E class. My ICE guy had to find a wooden panel to fit around the unit and it is almost a perfect match with the existing wood surround. I now have Apple CarPlay which is fantastic and even better...

    which pressure washer are you guys using?

    I use a Nilfisk which I bought from Argos, after just over a year the pressure adjuster on the lance didn't work. I rang Nilfisk and the nice lady sent me a brand new lance free of charge! She didn't even ask for the original one back. The Nilfisk also came with a patio cleaner which I have...

    Does nobody use these products from MB?

    I used to use Autoglym products and still do except for the super resin polish as I think you can get much better these days. I am also a recent convert to Meguiars stuff and enjoy watching most of the videos on YouTube. In between I used some Zymol products but they seem to have vanished from...

    W126 ICE

    With a boot as big as the w126 bass should never be a problem. You can use the two cutouts at the sides of the boot if you don't want to dump a big sub at the back of the boot. I've used both methods down the years and the results were sensational even if I do say so myself!! In an already quiet...

    Does nobody use these products from MB?

    That seems very plausible. I've never used any of their products but they're always on sale at Eurocarparts so I might give them a try.

    W126 ICE

    How's progress with the ICE and your w126 in general?

    Does nobody use these products from MB?

    I'm going to assume that most of you reading this post enjoy/love washing and cleaning your car(s) as much as I do. To that effect I have yet to see (and I could be mistaken) any threads recommending something that is available from most MB stealerships. I know that we all have our favourite...

    W126 Advice

    Here’s my tuppence worth: I’ve had all three w126 variants and for the body style the SEC is clearly the best looking and the best investment. It is also the most problematic and the most prone to rust especially under the doors and under the rear screen. It is also prone to water ingress in the...

    w140 s500

    If you've got an absolutely huge garage then that has got to be a suitable old Benz to have. The price isn't too bad either and the colour is very rare. Mind you decent w140s are now rare full stop!

    450 SEL 6.9

    That is a lovely car in a lovely car. The low estimate sounds warning bells but if you've got deep pockets and/or the necessary skills to bring it back to its former glory then I'm sure it will find a happy home.
