How old is your car please Tony?

Did you get anywhere with the sensors please? Just having the same problem now.

Mine (a 2015 E220d W212) is in at the moment with the engine light on. The recall was done just over 4 weeks ago and the engine light came on within 4 weeks although only 5 trips as the car has stood a lot during lockdown. I only noticed the ECU, transmission (VGS) & SCR software versions...

In fact I just had a quick look and you can see the difference between winters and summers in these two videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tsTFb1ZjvY You can see a Land Rover in the second one bouncing off the kerb as it was coming down on summer tyres. The police X5 was up and down...

I'm over Ilkley way on the Bradford side of the border and unfortunately due to their cost cutting the moor roads near us never see any salt at the times of day I go to work so winters are becoming a necessity. It's going to be interesting how things pan out this year as they keep saying we're...

I've got the Goodyear Assymetric 5s on my E220 and very happy with them - I've been a big fan of the older F1 Assymetrics on previous cars and have been through many sets now. In fact the only one of my recent cars which hasn't had Goodyears was the XC90 as that came with ContiEcoContacts and I...

Do you use Gummi Pflege at all? I usually do the rubber seals on my cars a couple of times a year and it does a good job at making them all last that bit longer.

Quite a few people still don't even bother locking their cars at night - keyless entry or not. The last time we had the scum checking door handles around our estate I had to message a few people on the street who had left their car doors unlocked and they'd been rifled through.

I went through this recently - more info (and pics) here: https://forums.mbclub.co.uk/threads/is-anyone-running-19-inch-amg-alloys-on-a-w212-s212-se.251791

Thanks for that I'll check them out - I'd not seen any listed on the Mercedes site when I checked so assumed it was all aftermarket stuff. I ordered the Brica ones which are basically the latest version of the Munchkin one I had to get by for now and they were only £11 delivered. It was to...

Brilliant news - glad that all worked out for you at no cost :)

It's still in the free 3 year period so the dealer should give the PIN for free at this point though - I got my license for £100 elsewhere when mine was outside of the first 3 years (which turned out to be it's first update even though every Mercedes service sheet had a tick in the box for...

Excellent stuff - I've got to admit it does make you wonder why they do all the smoke and mirrors as basically they're putting your VIN into VeDok and getting the license number back which is exactly what the people offering service via unofficial channels are doing (someone at the end of their...

I just had two new non-runflat Assymetric 5s on the front last week - the M1 on Sunday night at Leeds just as you get towards the M621 had the worst aquaplaning I've ever known and the car held through that with just a minor twitch. Two cars were at the side of the road who weren't so lucky and...

OK ignore that link I posted earlier, I get the same error with that old version I linked too. Try this one which should download the maps as per my screenshot. MEGA Just extract that on Windows and run COMANDDownloadManager.exe, username and password are as per the MB documentation in the...
