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...

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...

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...

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...

Still able to hit high 40's on a run and in the 30's round town, not bad for a 320 CDI :thumb:

Just wanted to post about my service yesterday at Prestige Car Service with Olly and Jake. Second time I've used them and pleased with the service received. No dramas, kept informed about anything that was found during the service. If like me you need to be working while the car is with them...

Sunny day today so thought I'd open all the windows with the remote to keep the car cool. Remote opened the doors but the windows failed to move, pressed the open remote button again.....nothing..??? Read about resetting the windows on other threads, tried the one touch up & down that worked...

My 2004 W211 was needing new discs, they had been noted in the MOT last year as getting low but they said wait and have them changed with the pads. Well nearly a year later and no pad warning light on I decided they were low enough and I'd replace them. Read through a few threads here but...

I was given an E250 (petrol) hire car while mine was in the garage for a week to run around in and after a week of driving thought I'd post some feedback. Don't be fooled by the badge its an 1800 turbo under the bonnet and while you can feel its a 4 pot the power is pretty amazing with 200BHP...

For any one interested I've just fitted the latest Audio 20 unit to my 2004 W211 to replace the older model. Difference between the two units is that the newer one is colour screen, will read CD's with MP3 files on them and has built in bluetooth. I had the Viseeo unit which worked fine but the...

Two questions:- 1st I need to pick up a permanent 12v feed for the trailer bypass relay, I have all the panels off in the boot and can see a large 12v distribution cable panel on the RH side of the spare wheel well. What I'd prefer to do is use one of the spare fuse slots from the fuse panel...

Before I take the plunge thought I'd ask here first. Need to fit a towbar to my 2004 E320 saloon, I want one that when the towball is removed the rest of the towbar is hidden from view. I'm only going to use it for a small trailer so not worried about weight restrictions of the chosen type I...

I know there have been a few posts about setting the Assyst system for the fully synthetic oil after a service but having just had my 2004 E320 CDI serviced thought I'd share my experience. The car was serviced a few days ago and I wanted to check that as Mobil-1 229.51 was used it was...

I was sat in the car engine swiched off today and had pressed the REST button to keep the heater going. While I was sat there I noticed that after about 5 minutes the REST light was flashing? Fan was still running and warm air blowing out. Had a search through the forum but can't find any...

Before I take a look at this thought I'd just ask if anyone else has come up against this problem before. I have the E series 2004 plate with the electric folding heated mirrors. Fold function opperates as it should but the drivers mirror always looses it's position, you can hear and see the...

Just had this warning message come up on the display Service Brake - Visit workshop, visually checked the pads front and back and there is plenty of pad left, in fact the fronts don't look that old. What else could it be trying to tell me?

My 2004 W211 is fitted with the earlier Nokia 6310 holder. I want to use BT to connect a Blackberry into the car with the SAP v2 unit available (yes I know it's not an SAP phone but it will pair without the pin once setup) The current Nokia holder with the curly lead is not the UHI type :( so...

I've read through many of the threads on using a bluetooth connected blackberry but would like to hear from anyone who uses a BB 8300 in their car. I've got a W211 with the Nokia set-up but have been upgraded at work to the BB 8300. I've tried to ask BB direct if this model supports SAP (Sim...

Can anyone help please, have a 2004 W211 and the folding mirrors work fine, fold in & out no problem, however. The right hand side always returns to the wrong position, you can see the mirror moving but pushes itself into the top left hand position. I can set the memory position ok, if I move...
