Quick question for the more knowledgeable on the forum. Was there an option for an extended thigh support bolster on the W209 seats? Thanks in advance.

I like the look until you get to the wheels :eek:

I started a fred on this over in "Parts, Maintenance & Servicing" but have scrolled down now and worked out that this is the proper place for one :doh: Tried to get through to PCS in Milton Keynes to arrange a service but they didn't answer the phone. Further investigation reveals that they...

Not answering their phone... :confused: Local reports that they have closed and ceased trading.

18 months or so into ownership of an E500 equipped with AirMatic and 17 inch wheels with 245/45 (which was the standard I think) I love it. I agree with some of the other posts and would not want to have bigger wheels – I’m quite happy to keep it as MB intended and if I wanted a firmer bumpier...

:thumb: Very nice!

npuk - Superb - thanks for finding and posting that.

Went to purchase a new car seat for the growing offspring at the weekend and was a bit surprised to discover that my 2005 W211 E500 does not have Isofix anchor points behind the rear seats. The old “baby seat” was purchased when I still had the CLK320 (W202) and that did not have Isofix...

Fizzer - good luck with the villa. Can you recommend a website for Florida property and villa in that part of the Fl? Thanks.
