And 2 hours later...done! Id just like to thank everyone for their advise and help on this matter. No , I really mean it . Is so t think that I could have done it without you . I really take my hat off to you . It's truly amazing how the support of an online forum can assist . God bless you all...

Update on quote - mistake made by garage on times , quoted for both sides so time estimate is now 3 hours which seems more reasonable. Still going to give it a go myself and so will let you know how I got on once completes

Hi guys , looking to see if anyone has had hands on experience with replacing a rear reluctor ring on an e500 w211 . I have viewed several videos on the procedure and all looks pretty straight forward . It's a hub off job but all looks pretty easy. The reason why I ask is that I had a local...

sorted! splice on a set of brown cables under the glove box , have full control from steering wheel , source and track info on instrument cluster and auto switching of reverse camera . well happy chappy

some of the 5 series bmws have brushed silver against back dash and it looks great

comparatively desktops on the whole are alot cheaper spec-for-spec , speak to a local indi computer shop and they can build you one for you exact requirements , later on if you want your machineito do other stuff you can always add to or upgrade. I have a desktop rigged up to a 55inch hd tv and...

cheers jay - sorry to go off on one on the phone - got me in a real tizzy. I am really pleased with the motor - never missed a beat - but getting a phone connected is nothing but hassle. I've got a bloke over in Hinckley would will fit a parrot and any lead needed for £280 - that's worst case...

hi guys , bought an e500 w211 about 8-9 months ago from an independent merc specialist in Nuneaton , Mercland . It was advertised with the Bose audio system which to me was a real bonus. As I understand it this was an amplifier all hidden away in the left hand side of the boot . I have recently...

hi guys - banging my head again a brick wall on Google searches:wallbash: I have a 2003 w211 e500 with the audio 50 aps head unit and am trying to find the correct lead as so I can install a bury cc9068 Bluetooth kit. the only lead that is close is for the aps50 in the later slks. Am I correct...
