So, most of us know that the latest and last update to the navigation system on NTG3.5 is the 2015 version, which by now is considerably out of date (and more so in Europe where they appear to be building more roads than UK). I see that Braybrooks are offering an upgrade which allows Apple...

The rear diffuser of my S63 has been bumped and deflected enough to come away from the retaining clips/brackets, as shown on the attached (but not great) photo (Nice reflection of garage door, though). Can anyone tell me how this is attached or how to refix properly? Thanks .

Early this year, when the weather was at its coldest, I went away for 4 weeks, leaving the car in it’s normal place outside. No surprise then to come back and find that the battery hadn’t enough power to turn over the 5.5 v8 engine. Nice Engineer came out, jump started the car and declared the...

Might be a silly question - has anyone had a service/repair done in Germany, if so how do the costs compare with UK?

Just a thought... Anyone using the Eurotunnel to go to France and concerned about the width of carriages and metal curbs (particularly with wide cars, nice alloys and low profile tyres) - book yourself in as a high (over 1.85m) vehicle. No extra charge and if you don't mind travelling with...

Can anyone help with this? Right rear window switch from a W221 S63 is missing the switch cover for the rear pan roof. I have been to the stealer, who suggests that I need a part number A221 821 45 51 at the thick end of £200 for the complete switch assembly, but having looked through Ebay...

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to use independent make wireless headphones with the rear entertainment or splitview screens? And, if so, how do you link them to the COMAND system. I know that you can use wired headphones in the back, but I think the front passenger must use wireless (no...

Ok, I've had my W221 (S63 2012) for a month, don't have a manual other than a download from the US and have two issues that are beyond me, although I have read the manual and followed all instructions I can find. Firstly, there does not appear to be any way that the radio volume will stay at...

Just browsing around under the bonnet today, it appears that both air intake hoses are splitting. Are these an MB only item or does anyone know if there is a real alternative, before I go to the dealer.

Picked up my 2012 W221 S63 today, just one small problem - can't get the grin off my face; is there a medical term of "grinnitus"? A couple other questions - has anyone attached a French or Portuguese toll transponder to an athermic windscreen, I can't see where to fit it, even though I have...

Just as I decide I really want an E63 S212, 2014 model they have all evaporated. What has happened to them - Mercedes approved used have 2 available in the country, Autotrader have nearly as many. Has the market dried up all of a sudden; I had hoped that following the new registration year...

I have had MB diesel estates for the last 16 years, one approved used and two from new and always had MB service on the basis of :- a) maintains full warranty b) maintains mobilo recovery (might be useful when driving through Europe) and c) maintains body warranty. And, I always figured it...

I've been looking at a Oct 2013 S350 BlueEfficiencyL (petrol) - does anybody know if this is the end of the W221 line and any good/bad points to watch out for? And, probably a dumb question, does anyone have information on the internal dimensions of the boot space? Thanks

I have a '98 E300TD estate, which doesn't like winter. As soon as the weather starts to get cold and damp, like around October, the gearbox develops a problem from cold. Car is parked outside, on a slight uphill incline, starts normally and changes gear normally. As soon as it gets to approx...

As a new member, I've been browsing the forum with interest. I have a new E320Cdi Elegance estate on order for January. The questions I have are 1. Are the Bi xenons worth having and 2. How do you change the dip pattern from left to right hand drive, for European driving. Any...
