Thanks guys, apologies for the delay, but I haven't been receiving the 'notifications'. I found the low pressure point - the smaller of the two. I have a pre MoT check (next week with a bit of luck), so I will leave it. Like thousands of other people - in all walks of life, we just 'like'...

My local dealership buggered up both my rear brakes. It had to have 2 new callipers, pistons, pads & discs. THEY CHARGED ME TO PUT IT RIGHT, otherwise I couldn't get my car out of there ! (I'm not sure if I'm fit enough to take in my own hands !!) I wrote to the franchise owner, Mercedes UK &...

Hi Guys, long time eh, I hope you are all keeping well. My A/C won't turn on - the light/switch just flashed a few times. I'm thinking of trying a top-up gas/refrigerant gadget. 1/ Which ones should I go for ? 2/ Where do I locate my low pressure service point ? 3/ Maybe for another part...

any advice for the facelift models please ? Mine is an 2007 Executive, so I don't know if they used specific mirrors for this model. They seem like nothing on you-tube.

sorry for duplicates - am dashing off to hospital, will sort upon my return.

Mercedes E220 W211 Executive 2007 I’m having difficulty in removing the turn signal from my driver side wing mirror (damn tractors !?). I’ve looked on Youtube (other channels out there) and seen about 4 different types on this type/model. Now I’ve got mine stripped down a bit, I see that none...

damn - you've heightened my interest !!! I'd better stop now, or get thrown off the forum ! cheers

rapid reply - cheers whitenemesis, How do the Lexus compare with Mercedes ? I've half been thinking of a hybrid model to replace my E220 (211).

I have a Varta H3 - 100Ah, that has started to fail (it's resting at 12v at present) Yep, the alternator is putting out 13.9-14.4v. 1/ Is Varta a Mercedes recommended ? 2/ I only do about 6 miles per day, so unless I think about it, it doesn't get a great charge. Would a bigger Ah be any...

thanks guys. all done apart from battery. I'm starting a new post, just for that.

Thanks guys & gals, Cigar lighter; fuse gone - replaced - fine Air-Con: Needed gas - topped up - fine Wet Screen; seems better now ?! Battery (100ah) seemed to be 11.7v dc. I usually only use my car to go into town, about 5 miles, so I guess I'm not running enough to...

Oh, thanks Jock. Are our batteries 'fill up'able ? Damn, I just sold a gallon of sulfuric acid ! Where is the battery on mine ? I've never had to do anything like this on this vehicle. I had a quick look at the water egress system yesterday, but as it was raining and I was away from home...

JOHN: thanks mate. I sell small plug-in voltmeters, so tried one the other day. With ignition on, it showed 11.7 vdc. With the engine running, fluctuated around 14.11 vdc. I thought this was fine. WEARSTHEFOXHAT: Cheers for that. I'll check that asap. I had a similar thing with my...

About two weeks ago, my W211 started to get a wet windscreen interior, so I used the blower more than I ever had. Two weeks ago, I noted that my AC stopped working,,,,, and the clock is 40 minutes slow (or 11:20 fast !). Someone mentioned low voltage, so today I went to check it at he...
