    W211 Drivers door mirror memory lost

    OK problem returned so I started to look round for a replacement motor. I called MB and there are two types fitted, with and without memory. Mine are the memory position mirrors and new the motor costs £102 +vat...:eek: Interestingly MB wont give out the part numbers now, apparently it's to...

    W211 Drivers door mirror memory lost

    I think I'll need to get a look at the wiring as a first step to eliminate that first.

    W211 Drivers door mirror memory lost

    Yes did read something about that, from what I could see of the loom there were no obvious kinks etc. I don't fold the mirrors very much, in fact hardly ever so the loom has not been moved back and forth. Having seen the mirror off eBay it is pretty simple to remove totally so I'll try and get...

    W211 Drivers door mirror memory lost

    Thanks for the heads up. I purchased and went to pick up but then found it was the type without the puddle light so the loom was different. Didn't want to start swapping over bits as that might have carried over the part giving the problem. Shame as it was even the same colour. :(

    W211 Drivers door mirror memory lost

    I have this recent problem with the drivers door mirror position being lost. Sometimes when I get in and start the car the drivers mirror moves fully up or down. I can move it back to the correct position and save to memory and it could be fine for a few days then it will do it again. Other...

    Alloy Wheel Paint Match

    Great thanks, I have tried the Halfords wheel silver, looked a good match on the can but too bright when applied. I'll get some mixed for me, thanks for the reply. :thumb:

    Alloy Wheel Paint Match

    I've just caught my (W211) Anka alloys on a kerb, had the same issue in the past with some touch up to stone chips just couldn't find a correct match. Grumpyoldgit, that wheel colour looks real close to what I have and will give that a try as my wheels don't have visible metal flake in, almost...

    Disc Change on E220 cdi exec 2007

    Think it's labelled as SDC, no fear of forgetting to connect it as the car won't start unless attached again. Think there was an issue/fear that it could if activated pressurise the callipers, and if off the car would then push the calliper pistons out. Outside of that from when I replaced...

    Disc Change on E220 cdi exec 2007

    When I did my e320 (W211) I dropped off the grey connector on the anti lock unit under the bonnet. It was just a precaution I was told to take in case I needed to switch the ignition on while working on the car and the system pressurised up (that whirring noise you hear from time to time). It...

    Many thanks PCS - Noise sorted

    Just a quick thanks to PCS for tracing the suspension noise to one of the front shock absorbers for me. The unit wasn't leaking at all just a constant knock over rough ground and was driving me nuts. As a bonus they replaced the blown headlamp bulb that went the night before while it was in...

    W211 door wiring

    Do you mean I can add to the fuse rail with another fuse holder from Mercedes or a breaker? In that case I could then feed it out to the door through the rubber trunking that runs between the pillar and the door. :D

    W211 saloon detachable towbar

    Sorry no, mine was specific to the tow bar I bought. As yours is original I would assume it fits into the distribution panel in the boot. They would make it as simple as possible for a dealer to fit but it might need setting up to recognise it has been fitted through the STAR system.

    W211 door wiring

    I've had a mobile phone holder attached to the screen for a few years now, the power cable runs from the cigarette lighter in the centre panel. Does the job but looks messy. I want to look at mounting the phone holder on the door as it will be more shielded from the sun but also I can run...

    4 Wheel alignment done

    Having had some recent suspension work done the car needed to have the alignment checked. I was due some new tyres so last Saturday I used Welcome To Ambassador Coach Works for the alignment as they had the Hunter system. Booked the car in with Jason, gave him the car details so he could...
