Hi, I bought a pair of these Bilstein Suspension legs off of a chap in Portugal, they were almost new and in excellent condition. I fitted one, which worked fine, and never got around to fitting the other, I just kept it as a spare. Having sold my E320 with the air suspension, I have...

Hi, Just as a start, welcome to the forum, I hope you will find it interesting and useful. To start the ball rolling, we need a little more information from you. The year of your car, and whether it is an Estate or a Saloon. If it is an Estate, then a common leakage point will be...

Hi, when I had my E320 with Airmatic, which was some long time ago now, and I rebuilt my air pump , I used a repair kit from Ebay seller "Bagpipingandy " They are not the cheapest parts, you can buy Chinese cheaper... but the repair kit worked well and gave the pump a whole new...

Greetings, when I bought my car over a year ago, it had been standing for some time, and in consequence some external rubber parts had perished. I am now trying to replace the rubber seal at the top of the tailgate hatch. One piece of this has now broken away and the rest of...

Hi, I think I would begin by removing the mirror shell off of the mirror body. You need to jam a screwdriver through the back flick up the catch. There are You tube vids to explain this. Once the cover is off you can see what is, and what is not happening. Depending on how broken the...

Good Morning, Did you ever get around to doing your door lock?. .........I had this problem some long time ago on my old 03 E320, and like you, I bought the repair kit with good intentions, studied the video, and then found the " Electrical tape fix ". Rather than all...

Hi, with the light switch in the off position then there should be no lights on. If they are on, then either you have a defective switch, or someone has tampered with the wiring, or you have had some rodent chewing away at the wiring causing a short. Were the drains blocked with any...

A year old thread suddenly resurrected into life. Excellent. Sadly the new member never returned to get his reply. Steve.

Uncle B ......Apologies for using your post....I will leave a shilling in the box and create my own on this topic at some point in time. W1ghty..... Good call, but Northampton to Leven is an 8 hour 400 miles journey. I am loaded up with stock at the back end, Jack, my dog, he has the centre...

Hello, I have been following this thread with some interest as my latest 05/06 211 with now 78,000 miles on it has been leaking oil for some time, according to the old MOT's, and this week, while I am home in Northampton, I bought a big bag full of gaskets and seals from Mercedes in...

Hi, This is relevant to a 211, whether it is relevant to a 212, it is up to you. Some ( long ) time ago I had a problem with the phone syncing using a Viseeo to the Comand. On the Estate behind the back seats there is an oblong panel and underneath this are various modules, one of...

Hi, on my old 2003 E320 CDI with at the time about 250,000 miles on it both rear Reluctor Rings rotted away and failed in a short space of time from each other causing the Speed Sensor failures. The Reluctor Rings are cheap, as relatively are the sensors. Labour for the job...

Hi, Thanks for the update, I am very pleased for you that Betsy will live again. Taking the head off is no problem, there is plenty of room for that, ( been there and got the t shirt for that ) and I am sure you will find a new head gasket some where. Getting the head sorted was on the...

Hi, Any update on the progress. Just being nosey ! Steve.
