Well yes, that's true. It's just that there's an existing cable to a dash cam that was "kindly" threaded behind there by a windscreen installer whilst the windscreen was being replaced and I think I'll need to remove the trim piece to get it out :-(

Despite much searching, I can’t find any instructions for removing the A pillar trim on a W213 that are specific to that model. I can only find general advice (use wedges, go slowly, …), and a video for W212 but apparently the W213 is different. I don’t want to break it, so any advice on where...

Still the same, three years on. Got the same noise, but nothing bad has happened. It's bit annoying that the engine is so much noisier (relatively) when warm than it is when cold, but there doesn't seem to be any harm going on, so I've accepted it. I'm using MB oil (I hope!) as the car has...

That's what I was thinking too. It's easy for a lot of rumours and worries to circulate and grow, whereas counter-experiences don't thrive and multiply. It would be great to hear from anyone who's just changed the battery without fuss and had nothing bad happen...

I've had the same experience. Tried to squirt out of a side into busy traffic and... ...nothing! Realised reasonably quickly that in my haste I'd knocked the limiter stalk, but not before being rather embarrassed at the lack of progress. Bit of a design flaw I think.

If this is one of those soft touch surface coatings, you may be stuck. These were very popular on consumer electronics and in cars a decade or so OK, but they degrade over time and become very soft/sticky in the end. As Mikesmith29 says, the best thing is to try to clean it all off and accept...

Search for the “Best Brokers” app. You can buy and sell what you want - without spending a real penny. Lots of fun; no risk.

Yes - I know it's not the exact same thing - just trying to generate some ideas :-) I also had funny behaviour recently when a button (in my case the Park Assist button) was stuck down. Are either of your flappy panels stuck (mechanically or electrically) in the "pulled" position? I wouldn't...

I’ve had similar behaviour - not exactly this but the same sort of “what is it doing?” weirdness when things like the speed limiter / cruise control have been accidentally engaged. Is yours coming on when it shouldn’t perhaps?

Been very happy with the set of these I bought for my E Class 18 months ago : carmats4u.com | Mercedes C Class (W203) Platinum Car Mats (2000 - 2007) - Mercedes C Class (W203) 2000-2007 - Mercedes C Class Car Mats - Mercedes Car Mats - Tailored Car Mats If you get the “platinum” ones you can...

In case it helps anyone else in the future, here's how the story ended. An attempt to get a "Mercedes Approved Bodyshop" to do the work failed. They don't do that kind of work - they just send them out to a local bod. So I called the local dealer in Cambridge and asked who they used. A very...

[I'm sorry, but tailgating trucks to increase the fuel number is simply cheating....the same as 'chasing cars' on a bicycle to get speeds in excess of 100mph is. But then again, I don't set the rules:dk: Ha! I didn’t quite mean that. That WOULD be cheating, not to say rather dangerous. All I...

Pretty good! I decided to really try on a recent trip from Cambridge to Birmingham. I proved 80+ is possible if you just find a nice lorry and sit behind it :-). Oh, and use “E” to get that wonderful “gliding mode”...

Because they recommend Autoglass who were terrible last time I had this, and aren’t getting my business again! Plus the rain-sensing wipers never worked again with the pattern part they used - hence the desire for an original part that I can expect to work in all respects!

Oh dear! Got a long crack in the windscreen of my car after a stone hit it yesterday. :( I'd like to get it repaired with care and using a Mercedes-branded screen! Does anyone have any recommendations for good, careful fitters in the Cambridge area (I'm west of Cambridge)? Ideally mobile...

My experience (with an E220d) is about 12k miles between fill ups.

I haven't tried them I'm afraid (still using the main dealer whilst my warranty runs out). However, I did receive a fulsome and unprompted recommendation of Swift Vehicle Solutions in Milton from the driver of an airport car (E Class) that picked me up at home recently, and who therefore needs...

There we are. Somebody who sounds like they know what they’re talking about, and doesn’t have a vested interest in keeping this stuff moving through the supply chain. Thanks PobodY! PS > I’d raise a similar suspicion about suncream, about which again manufacturers are determined to tell us that...
