    Towbar wiring

    Just braved the elements and all 13 pins are working as, I think, they should. Bought the car new but had to accept the dealers spec as they weren’t taking any customer specific orders. Good luck with the caravan.

    Towbar wiring

    Not sure how much this is going to be of use to you but my E350 all terrain tow bar has a 3 pin connector, all of which are connected and work on the 7 pin adapter. Only use car to drag a trailer and they get full access. Never used a caravan so can’t advise specifically on charger/fridge...

    AMG Wheel Corrosion - Warranty Repair

    Would seem to have been caused by the centre cap breaching the lacquer seal when either fitted or refitted. Once the seal has been broken, water gets in and corrosion (can’t recall the specific name of this particular corrosion) then spreads under the lacquer. Diamond cut wheels seem to be...

    A Class rear window just shattered

    Had it happen on my wife’s 1 year old BMW 1. Was parked in a large brick garage at the time which had been locked up for hours with no one anywhere near. Had it replaced within hours. Never happened before or since and never determined why it shattered. The only stress that I could think of that...

    Brown spots on car bady like ear wax ..anyone have this .

    Had a number of reports like this! Usually because the heated vein designed to vent any fluid overflow into the atmosphere had failed and consequently the contaminated ice that had built around the vein broke off when the aircraft entered warmer air, usually during descent. Never any unfrozen...

    Brown spots on car bady like ear wax ..anyone have this .

    A number of years ago I was responsible, among other things, for “matter allegedly dropped from aircraft” in the UK. We received reports from residents living not too far from a fairly large airport very much along the lines as given by the op. Fairly sure that it wasn’t aircraft related but an...

    Drivers Door Sticking out slightly and headlight on drivers side bit too close to bonnet

    Didn’t get the most recent updates before I posted but glad that you walked away. Good choose. Everything pointed to a poorly repaired car that had been damaged. The seller hasn’t given any details which must ring so many bells as others have said. Why is it being sold? There are some great ones...

    Don’t feel bad! I have had a number of new e class and never had a problem until I hired one during a trip to Scotland. Same thing as yours, no sat NaV etc. Went back to the agent who showed me the on/off switch. Found mine when I got back home!

    stop start function not working

    Have a 68 plate e350 all terrain. It has had a number of problems but the first was the stop/start function. Although I have similar fears as expressed above, when it was new I thought that I had better check that the stop/start worked which, unfortunately, it didn’t. It needed three trips to...

    Service rip off

    Sad to read about all the problems. On one of my last E350s, a service read out showed that the spare wheel had been checked and was within limits. Unfortunately, it did not have a spare and I pointed this out to the service manager. His first response was that it must be that the technician had...

    Should I have a TIREFIT kit?

    Thanks for this, you may have revealed the answer! I haven’t been involved in a direct discussion about how the problem should be resolved but it seems that there is a disagreement within Mercs as to what should have been supplied. One side says it should be a space saver/brace/gunk/ pump and...

    Should I have a TIREFIT kit?

    Just had a similar problem. Bought a new e350 all terrain and told that it had run flats. After a couple of months, all tyres changed at 4000 miles or so due to steering shudder on full lock. Problem solved so I didn’t think to check further. After 25 months and 14,000 miles, front tyres needed...

    Help: Non- GLC Tyre Skipping.

    My 2018 e-class all terrain did it from new but after after a few visits to the dealer all tyres were replaced foc with a different tyre and the problem seems to have been resolved. The dealer was on my side and deemed the original situation unacceptable. Should anyone be interested, I can find...
