The drain is about 1.3 amps and I have tested various things so far such as the central locking pump as when I remove fuse 61 I also loose the central locking but still have the drain. I have also disconnected every module under the rear seat fuse box but still have the drain. I stopped...

Thanks for the reply I have isolated the battery drain to fuse 61 which cnotrols the command but even with the command disconnected totally it still drains. I have been advised to buy a wis which I have done but the canbus world is all new to me. For now that fault is on hold as the latest thing...

Hi my S430 on a 2000 plate is giving me alsorts of grief. The car has a battery drain which I am still trying to locate but in the meantime the parking sensors are showing two red segments, the central locking stopped working but was a fuse now sorted. After fixing the central locking...

I had a similar experience with my 2000 S class. This was the worst point as the inside structure had rotted but had to do all four of them. Look here: http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/bodywork/177198-wheel-arch-rust-4.html post number 58

You have to take the plastic sill cover strips off the doorsteps and a rubber seal pulls out. You will then see some more screws in the recess. There are also plastic plugs underneath that push into the sill itself. If you look here you can see the holes underneath and the other fixings are in...

I have been informed by Olly who is an independant Merc dealership down south (forget his user name) that Z connections are all soldered so unlikely to be the problem. I have gone to the rear fuse box to fuse 61 and the two red and yellow wires exiting the fuse has had bullet connectors crimped...

Just going to have a look. I have isolated it to fuse 61 which is the Command but as mentioned no joy when whole unit removed. When I pull the fuse I also loose the central locking but still no joy with the locking pump disconnected so that's why I needed the wiring diagrams on the WIS. Fuse...

I have the dreaded battery drain and have got hold of a WIS but before I start having to take trim off to disconnect plugs etc I thought I would disconnect the telephone as it is a known culprit. I have took the command unit out and still have a drain. So my question is where is the connector...

My S class is similar and I bought some like this Mercedes Benz S Class W220 Twin Exhaust Trims in AMG Look Free UK P&P | eBay

Many thanks for the reply I will look later.

Started the S430 today and as I was driving it felt like it was only firing on four cylinders but picked up at 3/4 throttle, After stopping and restarting all was okay which I put down to the rain and damp(old school I know) so my question is where is the diagnostic socket so I can check any...

As has been mentioned Mercedes know about the problem but hide their head in the sand. Insurance????????????? surely if you buy a very expensive car you should not have to insure it against rust, and it has to be said this is not just rust but total rot (see my pics earlier in the post). If MB...

Regardless of 30 year/8 year warranties and service history MB knew/know they had a quality problem with cars of a certain era so why can't they step up to the plate like Lancia did and sort any problems or buy the cars back. Instead they still take the arrogant stance and portray that Mercs...

Nice work there, but how did you lower the car?

You can sell it to an MB potential owner. Love the cars and the drivetrains it is just the shell they put them in but you only know about this if you have owned one

Yeah that is exactly my point all this plastic trim etc for looks, drag factors etc just hides a lot of bad things. No good to the likes of me that buys the car fourteen years on when the professional liars use every loophole and play on words to get out of warranty claims. A bit like electric...

It's not just the arches unfortunately Mercedes used crap steel and paint techniques on the whole cars. I have read that unless you have FSH they will not repair cars , but what checking the oil and brake pads have got to do with rust god only knows. This is the jacking point of my 2000 plate...

Thanks once again for the info

Thanks for the info Diesel but when I click on it a message says you need IE5 or higher. I used IE8 but it will not open it. Which plug ins do I need?

Thanks Dean
