    GLC 250D Coupe 2018

    Hello everyone reading I currently have a 220 CDi AvantGarde, W211 from 2008. I really do like the car, but just like me, its getting old (96k miles on the clock). An acquaintance recently died and left a 2018 GLC 250D coupe with just 13k miles (FSH). They (his family) are asking £32k for...

    Aircon unilateral problem

    Hello everyone My 2008 W211 E220 CDi aircon was regassed a couple of years ago. This year I noticed that it didn't seem to be working efficiently on the driver's side but OK on the passenger side when the settings were identical. Does anyone know how the temperature is controlled? I recall...

    W211 E220 CDi 2008 Adaptive Braking

    Hi I wonder if anyone can tell me if my car has adaptive braking? The manual mentions it and from what I've seen on YouTube, it's a very neat idea. I have only "hit the brakes" twice since owning the car and although it stopped very quickly, I wonder if that was me pressing the brake pedal or...

    E220 W211 iPhone cradle removal

    Hello I am after some advice on this topic. I have an iPhone cradle fitted into the centre armrest, I believe it is this part A2048203951. I don't have an iPhone, just a 3G Samsung, which pairs OK with the cradle, but I cannot get past the pairing part of the installation. My phone is not...
