In addition, look after it and i should imagine all will be fine, there are loads of horror stories of airmatic etc, you never hear the vast majority that work well for the life of the car. just service it regularly with a good indy, and all the issues can be caught in the bud. Once you have...

Very Nice W221, I my Opinion (Biased) the best S Class after the W140. I have only used distronic plus once, but it totally freaked out my wife.

Ebay ? or Dronsfields.

My W204 that I owned had an issue with OSR door, similar to yours. I squirted some penetrating oil into the lock mechanism and it cured it for a while, then when it happened again I repeated it over again.

I would try Dronsfields, they have a lot of Mercedes various bits, they are Mercedes Breakers Manchester area, I have got bits from them before on Mail order. Good Service. Another suggestion Owners Clubs MB Owners Club ?

I had an C220 W204 2012, he did 162,000 + miles with me, in the end he did have issues, DPF, rear sub frames starting to rot. But he was a good solid car. i always turned the stop start off, with the switch on the dash when i started him up. i always used Premium Fuel in him (BP Ultimate)...

Although not in the North, Comand online are a excellent source of advice and repairs, i think you can post things to them, they also have a lot of stuff in stock. Comandonline uk

I am Biased, But the W221, is a far better car than a W222 or W223 for that matter. Lots out there, but watch what you buy. My Heinrich, is very low mileage, and i wouldn't sell him. the wide archs and the general body shape is beautiful. it had too be after the W220. But, then length and size...

As has been mentioned above 77k isn't that much mileage. My W204 had 163k when I sold it, and I bet its still going. Your Car should be more than capable of putting a 1 in front of the 77 (177k)

Around 3 Years ago I had the rear Brake pipes replaced on an W204, at a very good Indie in Dereham Norfolk. The cost was around £170ish for the Rear both sides.

As mentioned above, I would go over what you have done, then make sure everything is clean. Then maybe go for a drive, maybe it will turn off. Is there a way to turn out/reset the light?

My Rear Battery in my W221, is the Original 14 years old and still going! the car only has 40k mileage, so the Battery hasn't had that much of an active life. But the car has always been serviced by Mercedes, and now a very good indie. When I check the Standing Voltage in the morning, it lies...

When I used to rent out Taxis (Black cabs) after they had been tested, we used to spray underseal all over the underneath with Waxoyl. The underneath has to clean to begin with, and they were as we steam cleaned them prior to presentation, this would be repeated annually. From experience with...

He didn't it, sorted itself out. Although sometimes these things can be voltage related, pointing at the Consumer Battery in my S Class anyway. To get a better view of this, go to a Independent Specialist and explain the situation. I hope you find the answer, I empathize, as these Cars lovely...

My Pirelli PZero rossos are very noisy, I found out after much hair pulling and S Classitis (a nervous condition you will quickly become prone too with an S Class) That it was road noise.

Heinrich the W221, was washed and waxed ( I love the gentle purring of S Class's when you gently wax them)

My old W204 had a problem similar to this, I had a new sensor (ABS) fitted to the offending wheel, and it turned out to be the reluctor ring.

Can't give a definite answer, but my father in law has a CLS and a similar thing happened. But it sorted itself, maybe something he did?

Sometimes the bonnet closed sensors can play up, I had this with an W204 I just pulled the plugs out from the sensor. You should do both, although the Passenger side one is normally the offender. my symptoms were bonnet alarm no wipers below 10mph, over that speed the indicator stayed on but...

I love my 221, it is totally different from my prior W204. I think its just personal choice and preference.
