Said goodbye to my S211 E320 CDI today. Another success for WBAC.com Bad news is that's 10 years of MB ownership come to an end, and I have an Audi A6 coming on Friday.

Test drove a new Audi A6 today, 2.0tdi SE S-Tronic, very enjoyable. As my E320 cdi looks like the turbos going and the diagnosis seems nearly guesswork, I've been looking at later E350 cdi cars. This would need £10-12k to change and this is only to get a 5 year old car. Monthly costs and...

My 2007 E320CDI has covered 118,000 miles so some wear is expected. I've had the car nearly 2 years and a problem of intermittent jerky power delivery has got progressively worse. It clears and works fine for months then for no reason on a warm engine accelerating from 2-3000 rpm the engine...

I'm planning on replacing discs and pads all round on my E320cdi Avantgarde estate 2007 model. Looking online at the usual parts suppliers, ECP and CP4less, even entering the reg comes up with a multitude of parts. I thought it would be Sport brakes or not. Some say for Sports suspension...

When cold and trying to accelerate anything more than very gently it misfires between 2-3,000 rpm. Not always from completely cold, even a restart after a few hours. Been to my indie for a service and no error codes were logged, also no failure indications during the misfiring. Once warm it...

This mornings mishap is to knock the rear view mirror off my W211 E Class facelift 2007 (Avantgarde), which is hanging down on the wires. There's a triangular aluminium plate which it seems to mount on but I can't easily find how to reattached it? Any help or direction appreciated.

As I've no longer got the CLS I'm looking to sell the spare wheels and winter tyres I purchased for the car. The wheels are a set of 4 Genuine Mercedes 5 twin spoke alloy wheels, with centre caps included. Front alloy wheels: 17x8.5" ET28 Wheel part number: MER B66474253 Additional...

I'm going to replace the bushes on the front ARB of my 2007 E class 320CDI, along with the drop links. The drop links I can find on ECP, but not the ARB bushes. There are a few on eBay but not model specific and I've just had a reply from one seller that they don't have any currently. Anyone...

My S211 E Class estate AG has been feeling tired in the cold mornings, never failing to start but sometimes needing a second attempt. I've not experience battery drain previously, this is mainly due to short journeys. I purchased a CTEK MXS5.0 charger to give it a boost over a few nights, but...

Following on from a recent thread on Parktronic failure, 2 red lights, I bought 2 sensors to resolve a problem. Plugged in the new sensors in turn, hanging down, until the system worked. Then painted using a touch up brush and fitted, now I'm back to 2 red lights again. How sensitive are...

In one of those "how hard can it be moments" I keep thinking I can repair some small blemishes in the paint myself at home. I've investigated how to prep and apply paint on YouTube, some good videos IMO. What's putting me off the idea is that the YouTube advice on repairing a small dent...

Anyone know when Michelin start their tyre offers usually? They've offered £40 off 4 tyres in fuel a few times now just wondered if anyone spotted a pattern?

On my S211 2006 the central display backlight disappeared yesterday, only to reappear on the next switch on. A few days ago the cluster clock time was out of sync with the COMAND time, which sync'd when I changed the time. Is this an emerging fault or is it telling me something else, the...

Is it cold enough to swap to winter tyres now?

I've recently bought an old car, 1988, and I'm setting about cleaning it. I've foamed and 2 bucket cleaned, I also used iron X but there wasn't much fall out. Today I clayed the front but again not much came off in the clay bar. Can it really be that clean? The next job is machine polishing...

Anyone recommend a good company for rebuild / exchanging a power steering rack? I'm in Lancashire so local would be good, but a collect and return service nationally would also work. Slightly off topic as it's for a Porsche, but steering racks are steering racks aren't they? I've priced up...

I posted a while ago that I was changing my CLS for an E class estate, this freed up some cash which I've had permission to buy my dream car. So today I did the deal and bought a Porsche 928 S4, it's an 88 auto in Lagoon Green (silver with a hint of mint green). Can't wait to pick it up.

Why didn't someone tell me I had a CD Changer? Playing with the phone settings to try and download my phone book from an S3 and noticed a shiny part to the hazard switch. I know how Q feels now opening a new gadget.

I've fitted an MB4 to my E class (211), and it connects to my phones, Samsung S3 mini and Nokia Ć3 something. But it doesn't download the phone book each time, it has done it on the odd occasion though. Any ideas?

This is how a cross country trip should be. Guildford to Preston.
