    Wish I'd kept the Mercedes!

    When I decided to get rid of the S210 320cdi I thought it would save me some money. How wrong I was! £2800 for the car then the same on repairs. Everything that could go wrong has. It is a vastly superior drive over the 210, and running costs are lower, but I wish I'd kept the Merc! Sent from...

    Having sold my S210 320 cdi, I decided to stay with German but newer and BMW. Found an 08 520d touring. High mileage (170,000) but history and timing chain done. In the 2 months I've had it it has had to have: EGR valve DPF Inlet manifold (cracked) Fault with ABS/ traction control. Now it...

    New headache!

    I am now the proud owner of 2 large estate cars, much to the anoyance of my neighbours! The 210 is trying to find a new owner and is glaring at the E61 5 series. However, the 5 sees us already being difficult. DTC, amber brake warning and after 1 day , eml plus the battery warning is coming on...

    Being honest.

    Well, advertised the car today, on here and ebay. 10 min on ebay and someone goes buy it now for £700! Just had a chat with him and have been honest, it's a 2002 s210 with 216,000 miles so not showroom, and said come and drive it. If he's not happy then I won't make him take it. Seems genuine...

    E320cdi Avantgarde estate

    Time has come to part with my car. I just need something newer and cheaper to tax. It does have faults and as any 210, there is some rust but by no means the worst I've seen. In the 2 years I have owned it it has had the following: All 6 injectors replaced at a cost of just under £1000! New...

    It has to go!

    The time has come to get rid of my S210. Suspect the osf suspension has either broken a spring again or the top mount is on its way. Either going to p/x it or if anyone is interested make me an offer. 2002 320 cdi with injectors done about a year ago. New discs and pads, rears not fitted yet...

    Buying advice W220

    I've been looking at replacing my w210 and no longer need an estate. I've seen an S320 cdi on a 53 plate with a superb spec for £3500 and an S55 AMG on a 54 plate for just under £5000. Any advice other than rust issues? Sent from my SM-T365 using Tapatalk

    Today's observations and questions?

    On my second trip to London of the week and a couple of things came to mind. 1, Is it only me or does the CLA look like a melted jelly mould? Seems to be accentuated if it is on lower suspension. 2, Who came up with, and what is the thinking behind the Mercedes model designation? A,B,C no D E...

    MOT time!

    Nervously awaiting news on Wether the 210 will pass or need a second mortgage to put right! If it's too much then it's the end for it. Sent from my SM-T365 using Tapatalk

    Air con is dead!

    Well the 210 as well has having its other faults has now got no air con. Had it re gassed at ATS last year and it was ok for a little while. With the hot weather recently it hasn't worked at all so booked it in at Kwikfit for the recharge or no charge deal. Now getting a refund as the...

    W210 EPC fault.

    Not had to post for a while as it's been behaving, but, over the last week I keep getting an EPC fault which shuts the engine off completely. Thought I'd found the problem as the air intake was collapsing on itself when under load. Sorted that with a home made air inlet. I suspect a fuel issue...

    E430, tempted.

    Much as my S210 diesel has had problems, I have today found an E430, the car I originally wanted. Not sold on ebay and I reckon £500. MOT history isn't great. But I always fancied a V8. Worth it or not! Sent from my SM-T365 using Tapatalk

    SLS fluid

    Had a pipe burst on my S210 the other week. Last time I did the work myself and replaced the spheres. I used the Febi fluid. This time I've had it done at the garage where I work and they have used a fluid that looks more like normal PAS or ATF, red in colour. I did question this and they said...

    Blown suspension pipe!

    Had an sls pipe give up on my S210. It was one under the n / s / f wing. Is it possible to get the pipes, or can they be made up? The pipe is a different size to ordinary brake line. Sent from my SM-T365 using Tapatalk

    Is it time to give up?

    Much as I love my S210, it is fast becoming a money pit! I'm seriously thinking it's time to give up. But what to replace it with? Either a w211 estate or an R class? Pro's and con's for both please. Or shall I continue to try and use my 210 to do 15,000 miles year and hope the bills will go...
