My 2002 W210 (estate so probably S210) has self levelling rear suspension. It has a random "clonk". Two different (MB specialist independents) garages have had a good hard look at it and it isn't the rear subframe bushes, and they think the only way is to change the struts. But they cost about...

Last thursday evening I was driving home, sat in traffic and a bloke drove in the back of m 2002 W210 estate (S210 I guess). Scratch on bumper. Tailgate pushed in (but not the boot itself - all the right shape). The boot shuts fine too. Got a payout coming from the 3rd party too. My...

Hi, A few weeks ago I took my 2002 W210 to another independent in Bristol, I was not too impressed with the hourly rate (£65/hr plus VAT), as well as the excessive mark up on the oil (8.5 litres of 5w40 meeting MB spec for £91.50 plus VAT), so I thought I'd try another recommended independent...

My 2002 E320 cdi runs at about 60 degree C. This seems a bit low. My skoda audi and Volkswagen all run at about 90 degrees C. Is my thermostat buggered? Is it a simple job to change?

Hi, 2002 W210 with electric memory seats. Code B1203 Hall sensor of component M29m4 )head restraint raise / lower motor) is faulty. Is the motor in the head rest or the seat? How much does one cost, and where from, and how easy to fit? Thanks Steve

Hi, Occasionally I get the BAS / ESP light come on randomly. I got the codes read, it says C1201 A7/7s1 BAS release switch C1204 A7/7b1 BAS diaphragm travel sensor. I understand these parts are not available separetley, and I need a new servo. Reluctant to buy a 2nd hand part...

Hi, My parktronic on my 2002 E320CDI W210 has a problem. Had the fault code read, it is the "left center sensor, sensor is faulty". How easy is it to change, and how do I find the part number? Is there an online catalogue? Thanks Steve

Hi We currently have a Volkswagen T4 Caravelle 2003 LWB. It's done 250k miles and isn't particularly luxurious compared to my W210 E class. Looking at alternative cars. Must have: Minimum 7 seats Diesel Approx £8k budget. We have 4 kids 4-11 year old. I was looking at...

Since selling my skoda I have a set of winter tyres. Currently with 15" VW steels. 7mm rear, 5mm front. 1 puncture repair. Will upload photos later. £200 Ono in Wiltshire. Travel to Bristol every day.

I have a 2002 W210 E320 Cdi. Love it. Had a Skoda Octavia 1.9 tdi and Audi 80 tdi before. Once a day, when fully warmed up I would usually give it WOT up a hill, or from a 30 to a 60, to stop the variable turbo vanes from gumming up, and to get rid of carbon build up. Is it worth...

I have a set of the allegedly rare 16" W210 alloys, in ET41 offset, and they are supposed to fit the W124 without any arch mods, to give your car bigger wheels, without losing the OEM look. They are date stamped 1998. I can't make out the part number. Currently have bubbling paint, and have...

I have had my 2002 E320CDI W210 for a couple of week,s it cam fitted with 18" AMG alloys, which I thought "look nice, but expensive tyres and easy to kerb". Well, this morning I had a flat. Yesterday I was driving along the motorway at 70 with all my family on board. Just glad it didn't...

Hi, My 2002 (had it for 1 week) W210 (its an estate so is it a S210?) has 18" AMG alloys on it. I drive 20 miles every day down back roads with kerbs, pot holes and not quite wide enough for 2 cars. So I was looking for either some 16" winter tyres, but in the end I have ordered some...

Been on here for about 7 years when I was initially looking at vito vs VW T4 caravelles. Been lurking and posting now and then. Been looking for a W210 7 seater to replace my dead Skoda Octavia. Today I bought this 2002 Elegance 1 owner from new, full service history, virtually no rust...

Hi Nearly venturing into buying a Merc E320 Cdi. 2002 model. Here are the rust photos. Would you buy it?

Hello, I'm normally a VW Audi man,but today I went to see a 7 seater W124 estate. I have always liked big Mercs. I have read the guidance on here (great advice)and the body was very sound, but the engine (M606 multivalve 3.0D non turbo) had a lot of leaks on it, so I didn't buy it (as I...

Hello, This is my first post, so please be gentle, I'm not trying to start a VW/MB war. We currently have an Audi A4 estate, which, since the arrival of kiddy no2, is too small (rear legroom is poor, and the boot is too small with pushchairs etc...). We're looking at a van based people...
