I have a 2011 E350 Cdi Coupe with FMBSH and 66K miles. It lost power approaching traffic lights and wouldn't start but all lights show when you start. There was no warning before this. I called Mobilo and the MB technician this morning diagnosed 9 current failed components which he said was...

I am aware that Dynamic Seats were available (though rare) as option on the W219 CLS. Retro fits will be stratospherically expensive. Has anyone come across a kit or an alternative to the MB option? I have a stand alone plug in vibranting seat but it just shivers and shakes and is not up...

I am 3 months into owning a 2005 CLS 320 cdi with FSH and now 100k miles. It has 18 inch staggered wheels on good Dunlops. What's not to like. Lovely options and smooth power delivery in a straight line and round long curves. Stable at motorway speeds and economy is reasonable. No apparent...

Been off the forum for a little while but really good to be back. Whats been happening and whats new? Nice to see new cars and acquisitions. Just been following BPSorrell's CLS story. Also good to see the same names (even if I've never met them) and the same cars though some have...

I've just changed my rear tyres after taking the car for an MOT. I check the tyres regularly so I was surprised that the MOT tester said I needed new tyres. There was uneven wear across the rears with one side so badly worn on the inside it was smooth. The tester said I needed a 4-wheel...

Mrs Vibesg was starting a new job this morning so she left pretty early. She phoned around 8.30 to report her location. She was on the M40 Southbound when she reported a clackety noise in the engine. I advised her to pull over at the next service station and I'll talk her through. She was...

My windows go up with the key fob near the sensor on the door handle in the SL. Is there a reverse mechanism or interface to bring the windows down from the key fob? I park in a tight garage so its easy to exit from the car with the windows down but a pain in the side (literarily) with the...

Has anyone had any nicks or scratches to their Comand 2.0 screen? Are they repairable? Can the teflon screen be replaced? Perhaps I'm being too simplistic here as I've never taken mine apart. It does feel like the teflon screen can be removed and another layer placed on.

AMG kit sought for 2003 Mercedes SL 350.

Need some advice please. I have Comand in my R230. I have no Bose and have just the normal speakers. I am keen to improve the quality of music in the car but want to keep the Comand head unit. What are my options?:dk: Not keen on spending £1500 on a Bose retrofit. Haven't got that much to...

I have Comand 2.0 in a 2003 SL. Driving down the M6 from Penrith southwards this afternoon I suddenly noticed that there was just the arrow on the screen with no maps or roads. It was showing no satellites being received. This I have never experienced. I tried to input a fresh destination but it...

My SL has gone to the stealership for a week for some warranty work (boot seals and lumbar support). I was promised an '09 E Class so I wasn't too fussed. All I said was make sure its a diesel as I had a 300 mile round trip. I was happy the seals were being sorted under warranty....story for...

I have a new Viseeo MBU-1000 for a 2003 SL with option 852 ......I think. I have changed it once already because it does not hold the bluetooth connection. It connects and stays connected if I place it on the arm rest but once I move it elsewhere in the vehicle, especially by the temperature...

My 2003 SL comes with telephone pre-wire. I'd like a Viseeo MB-2 for bluetooth connectivity. I have been advised that if my car is a 2004 MY I can use the Viseeo MB-2; or that if I can remove the existing cradle leaving the triangle shaped connector I can use Viseeo. I have tried to remove the...

Viewed the SL 3 weeks ago and picked it up on Saturday. Chopped the CLK in as part of the deal. The Stealership offered me £1k more than my local stealership and dropped another £1k off the price of the SL. I was convinced it was the cheapest approved used SL in money with most of the kit I...

Wood/Leather Steering Wheel - Dark Wood (Bird's Eye Maple) / Alpaca Grey (Cream) Leather for R230 SL or W209.

Visiting the Stealership tomorrow to look at a 2003 Rl 230. I got as much info as I possibly could on the phone. I guess I can draw some comfort from the 12 month warranty but I'm trying to see what I'm really getting. I've read threads and posts on the forum about SLs and about Tier 1 or 2...

I've often wondered what the difference is beween both systems. They're clearly supposedly better than ordinary MB Systems. Why are they better and what components do they have? Is it just the speakers or are the Comand head units any different?

At £9997 this is my 2003/03 CLK 270 cdi Elegance in Jasper Blue with the following above the standard spec:- KEYLESS GO COMAND NAVIGATION 6CD CHANGER WITH IPOD/MP3 CONNECTION DIGITAL TV DVD PLAYER THROUGH COMAND(Discreetly located) LIFETIME TRACKER AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION 17"...

Not wanting to fall foul of the rules this is not an advert but a reliance on the multiple experience of forum members to request advice. I tried to sell my CLK earlier this year with no success and I'm about to give it another try before I decide to keep it. It is a new shape 03/03 Elegance...
