    W212 Estate load cover lifting after hatch closes

    My W212 has started lifting the load cover to the upper position once the hatch has closed. Anyone else had this problem and know of a solution? Even if the cover isn't pulled across, the motor still runs and lifts the tracks up after the hatch is closed Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk

    E Class 7 seater - V5 says 5 seats

    I recently received my V5 for my W212 E class with 7 seats. The 7 seat option is on the datacard, but the V5 states it is only 5 seats. A big supermarket has partial V5s on its site, and 6 other 7 seaters they have sold also have 5 seats on the V5, so it seems that it is normal. I wonder...

    Coolant in 2001 W203 CDI 220

    I have just changed the thermostat in my W203 as the old one wasn't shutting completely causing cool running. I also drained out the old antifreeze as I wanted to change it. The old antifreeze was bluey/green, but the stuff I was going to buy that had written on it that it was to Mercedes...
