Hi Marshaad, Did those stepper motors do the trick? Took my light apart last bank holiday, and i mean everything. Heated the Headlamp with a normal fan heater to prise apart the lens and body. Took photos to upload but just haven't got round to doing it. Didn't do a brilliant job of sticking...

Thanks Marshad, you managed to get one step further than me by taking the actual motor out of the assembly. I did turn the motor and managed to get it lose but was reluctant to force it out as i wasn't sure whether that was the way to take it out. I bought that plastic thingy majig for about...

Hi Marshad, Did you fix your lights. I never did get round to fixing mine. Still looking for an alternative to shelling out £763! My airmatics playing up now! Put a new pump in last year! ......i should have just bought a merc from the with an 80's build. At least they were made to last!

There must be someone here who's taken a headlamp apart before? Just need to know what Sealant/Adhesive you used stick it all back together:confused:

No idea, might be a start to pull out your paper listing Fuses used. I think this is located on the drivers side near the Air Vent when you open the door. Just ring up Merc and ask to talk to one of the Service Technicians. Tell receptionist that you need to ask a technical question. They...

Strange that wiring diagrams show two motors. I suppose it makes sense but maybe when there is an Horizontal option there is a different type of motor in the Cylindrical housing which does both Vertical and Horizontal movements. May be thats why you don't see locations for both at the same...

I initially voted anti-clockwise, then looked at it a bit longer and I now reckon she spins both ways because the picture seems to be changing.

The Part No. for my nearside headlamp is A211820/2161. This i got off Merc after giving them my chassis number and not off the actual headlamp. Merc quoted £649+VAT, InchCape website states £580+vat. The German Headlamp 'Kurvenlicht' Part No for the non-facelift is A211820/1961. The American...

A loose connector on one of the Indicators shouldn't stop both working. I had a broken wire on a 2003 W211 Merc that i used to have which stopped the indicator working, but that was only on the one side. The other indicator still worked fine. ....do you get indicator relays on these things...

I'd laugh but i work in the banking industry and although my job is safe (for now!) a few of my colleagues have been made redundant due to the slow down in business. I reckon the Xmas sales will have to start in October because thats the only business people will be doing!

I rang a Merc garage today and this one gave me my part number (previous one said its not something they give out!) for the Headlamp. The number was different from that seen on the German Curve Light Headlamps. So i think Diesel is correct. Which brings me back to square 1. BTW Diesel...

Ray, Have u ever taken you car for an MOT with the European setting on it?

...didn't think of that one!

I've been told that the W211 lights have a lever inside that can be switched left or right for correct roadside illumination. So if i end up buying from Germany this is what i would aim to do.

are you a member of the american site (_ _world.org). I've PM'd someone there before. I reckon i could do the same if you're a member.

Find it strange that both would stop working. You probably never noticed it before. On some of the older cars the wires in the indicator housing can get worn and break as mirrors fold in and out over time. This effects the indicators normally. But like i said, unlikely both went at the same time.

I second Panason1cs reply, MAF.... Unplug it and see if it makes a difference to the drive. If it doesn't then its probably that. I've never had the issue on my merc but my VW had the same problem and it sounds a lot like yours. I have to agree with you though, Mercs ain't what they used to be!

We bought a car once that had previously been in an accident. We knew this before we bought it and the price we paid reflected that. Anyway, my brother had an accident while we had it and then got it fixed and gave it in as a part/ex at a dealers. I saw the car again 6mths later in someones...

I can't help you but...OUchh! £1700! What's the mileage on it?

Just had a look on my profile. Would it be fair assumption that i can't PM or start new threads until i've made a specific number of posts?:confused:
