Well I’ve not long taxed my W211 E320cdi (3.2 I6) and realised the difference between my reminder letter and the new price has risen £54 a year!!! Typically, I put it off until last minute and got stung by the new price hike 🙄 There’s tax hikes then there’s tax robbery and this definitely falls...

I’m considering upgrading my prefacelift W211 command headunit. I want better smart phone integaration (Apple iPhone) and also want to be able to add an aftermarket amp to power a separate subwoofer, with the option to be able to add another amp and run some high quality component speakers a bit...

Hi all, I bought a W211 E320 CDI on the 24th of April this year. I waited a little while until I found one I liked and had the spec I wanted and negotiated the price down to £3400. It’s a late registered 3.2l straight 6 on an 06 plate with 1 previous owner and has now got 85k on the clock. It...

I’ve posted in the wanted section, my want for an S211 E320cdi. I’m wondering if such cars come up for sale very often with the minimum spec that I would like! They seem to be very far and few between to find that diamond shining in the rough, with most being cheap well and truely used and...

As per the title, I’m after an E320cdi estate but prefer the OM648 3.2 I6 over the 3.0v6. Must AT LEAST have memory seats, heated seats and parking sensors. The more toys and gizmos the better! The lower the mileage the better too (obviously lol). And in respectable condition. I’m not after a...

I’ve got an electrical gremlin in my car at the moment! Which is causing me to disconnect the battery when I get to work and when I get home and loosing all of my radio settings each time 🤬 When I switch the ignition off and remove the key, the head unit stays on, along with the cigarette...

Hi all, I’ve searched the net profusely to find out what’s going on with my heater blower motor, but it doesn’t seem to be of much help! So I turn to the wealth of knowledge from your kind selves! I have a 96 E320 W124 estate, which I picked up on Saturday and now the blower motors given up! It...

I have at my disposal a W210 with a wood and leather steering wheel, which I very much loved driving with. That car is ready to go to car heaven now, but I’m thinking of robbing a few parts off of it first. My main question is, will it be a straight swap, airbag included (plug and play)? The...

***ARB Bushes not arm**** I'm having the rear suspension/subframe arms/diff/bushes replaced. I have a pretty comprehensive list of parts but I'm unsure on the size of the rear arb bushes I need to order. I was going to order some poly ones for longevity as well as poly subframe bushes (front...

Hi all, i’m In need of replacement front lower control arms for my ‘96 S124 E320. Now looking on parts catalogues etc it appears to have the “built in” ball joints which means extortionate prices from MB. I don’t seem to be able to find any recent updates on using pattern parts instead of OEM...

W210 320cdi HP fuel pump keyway/coupling. My fuel pump died and I’ve been umming and arring about scrapping it or fixing it. I’ve chosen the latter and a fellow forum member is sending me a re-sealed fuel pump that he had gathering dust. I thought I’d be proactive and remove the pump today...

Hi, well after my W210 320cdi HP fuel pump gave up spectacularly on the M4, it’s sat on the drive feeling sorry for itself and I’ve now bought an 03’ Honda Accord Type-S as a run around :confused: I’ve since reached my savings goals and have decided to take the plunge and have bought an almost...

207kmiles but engine and gearbox we’re working just fine before the HP fuel pump gave up. For that reason, I’d be reluctant to sell most of the fuel system components for fear of swarf contamination. This would not affect the actual engine however. Plastic fuel pipes under bonnet are less than...

Mercedes-Benz CLS 5.5 AMG | eBay I’m not sure if this bloke genuinely thinks he has a CLS55 AMG or if he’s just trying his luck on. Either way I feel he needs to adjust his listing to the correct CLS500 that it clearly is! The cheek of some people!

Hi all, in July I shall be ready to purchase a new motor. My current S210 320cdi has seen better days and is starting to get a bit ropey now, so I’d like to take the plunge and buy something newer. Now I do a 150 mile per day commute, 4-6 days a week, so preferably I’d like something that’ll do...

Photo by Ben Bishop Photo by Ben Bishop Had a limp mode situation with no EML recently on my S210 320cdi, so thought I’d check the normal known problem areas (EGR, Swirl flaps, turbo actuator). While checking the rod on the swirl flaps, I noticed this guard type thing that was hanging loose...

Well I've just had all of the rear multi link arms replaced. It now creaks and feels very crashy and unstable when going over bumps. I've also noticed that the NSR is slightly lower than the OSR. The shocks seem to be returning with 2/3 bounces and the springs aren't broken. I actually nearly...

As the title says really. Mines broken, which allowed the pipe to come adrift and rub on the belt, causing a bad leak! Its the clip underneath the HP fuel pump that holds the 2 clear plastic fuel pipes. It's a 2002 W210 320cdi. WDB2102262X085962 Cheers Ben

Since having my tyres replaced, My cruise control is playing up. It will set at say 80mph. But as soon as i come to an incline, it cuts off, back to the flat and its fine again. If i go faster than that, it sets then cuts out almost immediately. No lights or warnings on the dash. I have...

Well after spending a LOT of money on my W210 320cdi, I ended up in a prang... On my way to work the other night, I pulled into a filter lane to make a right turn off of a main road into a side road. There was a car waiting at the junction to turn right. There was nothing coming on the main...
