It has the self closing boot with the button on the keyfob and the drivers door to operate it. I have had to overpower the boot opening mechanism to close it.

Strange one this - the power boot / trunk operates okay, but when closing the lock triggers about 1 second / 30 degrees too early, meaning the boot won't shut properly as the lock is, well, locked. Is there a reset sequence so it can the lock can relearn where closed is?

Sorry, still getting used to this forum's methods with pictures. This should be it

Not stuck down yet, just wedged securely so I know exactly where to have it.

In the end I fitted a Pure 600 DAB unit that also doubles as a bluetooth receiver. I was concerned, as the unit is just an FM transmitter (as my COMAND doesn't have a aux input), and the digital aerial fits to the inside of the windscreen glass and earths on the roof via a magnet - you can't do...

Xtrons have confirmed they do not have a head unit compatible with the W215 at the moment, and the fibre optic wiring means it might be a PITA and very expensive to retrofit another system. In that case I will look at a PURE 600 add on system that sends DAB via the unused FM frequencies and...

My 2004 CL500 is wonderful, but the ICE is dated. The sat nav is hopeless, no bluetooth, no USB to charge my android phone and no DAB. They are the four things I need more than the DVD player, tape deck and AM radio! I have looked at a PURE 600 bolt on system, but that doesn't fix the sat...

sorry, that's £35 each and not per axle

This is the seller Mercedes W220 , W215 , FRONT ABC Shock Absorber dust Cover, Boot Repair | eBay £35 per axle - I bet i need one front and one rear then! Sellers name is abc_wizard

I've searched but couldn't find the answers. Hopefully you can help My 2004 car is due the MOT soon, and I have noticed the dust covers are split over the suspension struts. Is this an MOT failure, and can they be replaced without dropping the suspension? I have seen some £35 ones on eBay...

8c0b04b7-8fed-48f2-885d-d47569d0ff3f not sure why my images from flickr are not showing?

headlamps done with the meguiars one stop kit, and looking better. Bonnet badge replaced for £12. Petrol flap replaced with an ebay used item in the right colour for £20. Brake pad sensor replaced for £4.64. I am sure bigger bills will be coming, but so far so good. Pictures soon once the...

thanks. I'm also exploring adding a DAB+ receiver with bluetooth that can work through the aux inputs to keep the headunit and the original look
