    Intermittent parking brake light

    Evening all, as per title, car in question is a 2003 E55 sedan. Sometimes the light comes on, sometimes it doesn’t, it never stays on. Is it a case of removing panel and removing switch, maybe a little electrical spray? I’ve got mot coming up, and I’m assuming it’s a fail if the light doesn’t...

    On or off?

    Evening all, can anyone tell me if the secondary air injection shut off valves are meant to be shut on idle with warm engine? I was using my icarsoft to look at various values and numbers ( half of which I don’t fully understand yet) and noticed one valve is open and the other shut, I’ll do...

    Injectors

    Evening all, I’ve just bought new injectors for no 03 E55 W211, my original injectors are black, but these are light blue (Bosch 62717) which from what I can gather are the replacements but have slightly bigger capacity. My question is do I need to code these (I’ve got the latest icarsoft) if so...

    Oil change

    Hello all, going to be changing the oil on my 03 W211 E55 soon, can anybody tell me the capacity of the cooler and lines? I’ll carefully measure what comes out from both sumps, but wasn’t sure if 8.5L capacity was inclusive of the above. Many thanks in advance for any advice.

    Airmatic struts.

    Evening all, I’ve just replaced my front struts on my 03 W211 E55 sedan, I’m going to keep the old ones as spares, but if anyone needs one to get them back on the road in a hurry, I’m more than willing to loan them. Near side has slight oil misting, but worked fine after 100k. Matt.

    E55 8pot front calipers

    Removed from my E55 W211. I’ve replaced with donar pair I had overhauled and repainted, I went this route as I couldn’t afford for the car to be off road for 3-4 weeks. I’m looking for £380 plus postage, as this is amount I paid for donor pair. They will need a refurb. Cheers, Matt.

    Power bleeding

    What are people’s thoughts on power bleeding SBC, I’ve read that it’s possible, and I’ve read and been told it can only be achieved on star? My plan is to take calipers of for repair/refurb power bleed then take to main dealer/Indy for complete flush. Any advice great fully received, Matt.

    Caliper overhaul.

    Morning all. Took my 03 E55 to localish Indy to have some work done, part of that work was to have brakes (brembo 8pot/4pot) bleed on star, they said most of the bleed nipples were seized and they didn’t want to go any further, which I totally understand as i needed car back same day. So I...

    Rockauto

    Afternoon all, anyone dealt with these guys lately? My E55 W211 has just turned 100k on original front bilstein struts, and although they are fine at the moment, I do feel that I’m on borrowed time. Rockauto have them for sale at £1020 plus vat and shipping, and from what I understand 4.5% duty...
