This may be of interest to anyone thinking of buying a facelift W221 S350L BlueTec (or for those who are just curious) I bought my S Class on 1st October 2021 after recently selling a 2013 SL350 and making £7k profit (which is a nice amount to be able to offset against repairs/maintenance for a...

New small Mercedes G-Class to arrive

Why can’t I turn my headlights off at night when the car has stopped or is reversing? When returning home at night I reverse onto my driveway so I can drive out forwards onto the road the next time I go out. Ideally I’d like to have just my side lights on and the headlights off, as the car now...

Here's a list of engine mount parts and under "Footnotes" it states "Except model year 801" or "Except model year 802". Where do I check to see if my W221 is "model year 801" or "model year 802"? Thanks. My chassis number is A448318 so I assume it's Model year 802 but was just interested to...

Shortly I'll be needing new rear tyres for my 2011 S Class S350L (20" AMG alloys) . Michelin Pilot Sport 4s currently fitted. Fronts have 255/35 R20 and rears 275/30/ R20. I've read that 275/35 R20 can also be fitted on the rears of this model but can't find anywhere what is actually recommended...

I'll shortly be needing to replace the engine and gearbox mounts on my S Class W221. Theses are currently showing as factory back order. Is there a decent alternative manufacturer or should I wait for OEM?

I know minimum legal tread depth is 1.6mm but what is "ideal" depth for replacements do you think? I don't want to wait until barely legal but I also don't want to be replacing when there's enough tread for reasonable performance. These days my driving style is "comfort" rather than...

I've been doing some detailing and one of the areas I'm having a problem with is a "stain" on the sunvisor (the previous owner probably removed a label and the adhesive mark is still there). I've tried a number of remedies (unsuccessfully): Goo Gone Sticky Stuff Remover Vanish Dr Beckmann stain...

(2011 S-Class W221 S350L) I've noticed that the inside rubbers (between door and window) are very green (algae?). These rubbers are quite firmly fitted against the windows and I don't want to try to prise them away to get access to the inner side to clean them because I'm concerned I may cause...
