Hi everyone, I though you might like to know that you can still buy the intermediate shelf for the W211 E-Class glove box. I was looking in the glovebox and noticed that there were a couple of supports which looked like they were designed to hold a shelf, then I had a look at some forums...

Hi there, Just bought the Media Interface Cable set for COMAND (Part number A0018276504). I only need the USB connector, so anyone care to make me an offer for the iPOD / Aux connectors? You must have the media interface slot in the side of the glovebox to use these! Details: Media...

Hi guys, Wondered if anyone has had any good or bad experiences with garage flooring - I have moved into a new property which has a bumpy concrete floor and wanted to improve it. I have been thinking: 1) Polished concrete with sealant, maybe epoxy paint 2) Just painting it and hoping this...

Hi there, Well, lucky me! I start work at DaimlerChrysler tomorrow and am looking forward to picking up a new company car (I've been told to make sure I arrive by taxi - woohoo!!! :bannana: ). Sadly this means I will need to sell my existing car, a gorgeous 1999 (T) C240 Elegance in...

Hello again to everyone! I have a bit of strange problem with my car and I was wondering if anyone could give me any advice? Over the last few weeks, whenever I turn the steering wheel to the left, I am getting a noise like a creaky spring. It's not a particularly loud noise but it is...

Just thought I would share some knowledge regarding the use of MMC (multimedia cards) and SD (secure digital) cards in high end Blaupunkt Stereos (for playing back mp3 files). I have the "Los Angeles" tuner. I've discovered that these units are very sensitive to the cards being formatted...

Jimmy, What a star you are! It's info like this which really makes MBClub rule! I've put in my order! Kind regards, Trevor.

Hi Agriff, I'd be very interested to hear how you get on - I've been trying to do a very similar thing! My accelerator pedal is also moving slightly left-right as well as up/down and is making an annoying clicking sound every time I push it down from idle. I took the screws off and had a look...

Ahh.. not having a particular good week with my C-Class! Last night I noticed a tiny corrosion "spider" just appearing on the edge of the boot, just behind from behind the piece of plastic which is screwed in above the number plate. This part is designed to be unscrewed to give you access...

OK - just had phone call from Greenoaks Service Manager, sounds like he had been called by Mercedes Benz to investigate my complaint. He promised to call back in the next 24 hours to let me know the score. I wonder if they are asking the dealership to pay up the 25%? More news when I have it....

OK - Back to the story! I have just phoned DaimlerChrysler in Milton Keynes and was patched through to Maastrict, who supposedly handle this sort of thing. This is what I was told: 1) My car is/was apparently covered by the 30-year warranty. I need to correct the title of the thread - my...

The car was checked by R&C Coachworks from Slough who do bodywork for Greenoaks. They checked the thickness of the paint before processing the claim! The car is Brilliant Silver

Hi everyone, I thought I would start a new thread regarding my recent corrosion warranty claim, here is what has happened to date: 1) About a month ago I was looking under the bonnet and noticed a small amount of rust forming between the upper and lower bonnet skins, at the back of the bonnet...

Just noticed that my First Aid Kit "expired" at the end of December (it is a T-reg/1999 car so I suppose 4 years is pretty good going). Does anyone know of any cheap ways of getting hold of these? The part number is 202 860 00 50 but the dealer wants almost £30 for one of these! :crazy:

Lucky me! Someone bought me a Zymol Sampler Kit for Christmas! I have previously used the "cheap" Carbon wax (a mere £39 a pot!), but this sampler kit also includes "Concours" (full pot costs £139) and "Destiny" (full pot of this costs £394!). I think the pack is excellent value - costs £107...
