    W215 Boot / Trunk close - lock not syncing

    It has the self closing boot with the button on the keyfob and the drivers door to operate it. I have had to overpower the boot opening mechanism to close it.

    W215 Boot / Trunk close - lock not syncing

    Strange one this - the power boot / trunk operates okay, but when closing the lock triggers about 1 second / 30 degrees too early, meaning the boot won't shut properly as the lock is, well, locked. Is there a reset sequence so it can the lock can relearn where closed is?

    W215 ICE new headunit questions

    In the end I fitted a Pure 600 DAB unit that also doubles as a bluetooth receiver.

    W215 ICE new headunit questions

    Xtrons have confirmed they do not have a head unit compatible with the W215 at the moment, and the fibre optic wiring means it might be a PITA and very expensive to retrofit another system. In that case I will look at a PURE 600 add on system that sends DAB via the unused FM frequencies and...

    W215 ICE new headunit questions

    My 2004 CL500 is wonderful, but the ICE is dated. The sat nav is hopeless, no bluetooth, no USB to charge my android phone and no DAB. They are the four things I need more than the DVD player, tape deck and AM radio! I have looked at a PURE 600 bolt on system, but that doesn't fix the sat...

    W215 CL500 strut dust covers split

    Just to conclude this thread - the car passed the MOT with just discs and brake pipe advisories (discs as it hasn't been used much I think) so the dust covers are not required for the MOT. I'm very happy!

    W215 CL500 strut dust covers split

    I've searched but couldn't find the answers. Hopefully you can help My 2004 car is due the MOT soon, and I have noticed the dust covers are split over the suspension struts. Is this an MOT failure, and can they be replaced without dropping the suspension? I have seen some £35 ones on eBay...

    W215 CL500 5g or 7g?

    I had to buy the car blind, and the seller wasn't that knowledgeable, hence the question. Now I have it and if it has the 7 speed gearbox the emission are lower, at 270g/km, so that is an easy way to check remotely. Thanks guys

    it's a 2004, black with cream leather and overall I am impressed. I even managed to return 30mpg on the 60 mile journey home! (I drive like a grandma!) However, with any 14 year old car there will be niggles. So far these include AC seems weak Sunroof doesn't open in one touch, but needs...
