Hi all, My steering wheel column is loose despite being in locked position. I’ve tried adjusting in and out, locking/unlocking etc but there is still play in it. I can remove the play by sticking something between column and dash (currently using a wall plug!) but unsure if this is an issue...

Ooo this is great thank you!

Would you also know a resource for getting workshop manuals? I tried one of the downloads off eBay but a complete faff and couldn’t get it working

Hi, I'm just about to change the front set of discs and pads on my W211. Shouldn't be a problem however I will need to do the rears soon too. Is there any difference in the procedure?

Just thought I'd say a big thanks to everyone on here, once again saved myself a fortune. Changed all the glow plugs on my W211costing me £70 for parts. Mercedes wanted £600!!!!

Hi, just thought I'd check I'm on the right track before attempting to change my glow plugs. Firstly it seems I need to remove the ducting from the air filters to the turbo It's also looks like this harness needs to come off Finally not sure how these glow plug caps come off, do they...

Mines the facelift (2008) model. Yeah I've read about the SBC cautions, wasn't aware I could use the old sensors, might give it a try as I haven't had the dashboard warning yet
