    Dynamic seat air pump (s212 e63)

    I'm dynamic seats have stopped working so I read the codes which indicate a fault with the air pump. I believe this is located somewhere in the boot but not pulled any covers off yet. Has anyone worked on this before on a 212 estate and can provide any insight? Thanks

    AP tyres, Rotherham, hunter Road force.

    I've had an issue with a vibration at higher motorway speeds on my e63 so today I took my car into AP tyres in Rotherham. I have nothing to do with the business and it was my first visit but I'd definitely go back. All the staff were welcoming and helpful despite it being very busy. Dave that...

    M157 air intake duct options

    The air ducts on my e63 are suffering the common issue of the fabric unravelling and I need to replace them. I can buy the oem ones but wondered if anyone had either found a suitable aftermarket solution or diy'd something that would last a bit better. On another mb forum I've read a few...

    E63 mpg

    Had the first long run in my s212 e63 this weekend since driving it home and loved every minute of it. 466 miles over 2 days, largely motorway miles with some A and B roads at either end. I never tried to be Conservative for economy. Had some 60 mph roadworks, 45 mins crawling on the m25 and...

    Tidying up new (to me) e63 estate

    I recently bought a 62 plate obsidian black s212 e63. The condition is decent but its 9 years old with 85k so by no means pristine. I've given it a couple of good washes and can now see the true condition of the paintwork which is covered in swirls and scratches plus a few chips. I decided it...

    Today I collected my e63 estate

    I've been searching since Christmas for an e63 estate and today I finally took possession of one. I've asked a few questions on here and been appreciative of the replies. I started out looking for an s211 e63 then moved to a pre facelift 212 with m156 but in the end bought a pre facelift...

    W/S212 e63, pre-facelift engine

    Am I right in thinking the w212 pre-facelift e63 had the m156 from 09 to 12 then the m157 from 12 to 13. You would think the 6.2 was more common in pre-facelift but I've been seeing way more bi turbo cars (I only take notice of the estates really) maybe just coincidence what is coming to market.

    Can anyone recommend a decent trolly jack, not as heavy duty as a commercial garage one but something reliable, substantial and with a good amount of lift. Ta

    M156 head bolt swap video

    Nothing to do with me but came across this video on YouTube and thought it was a good watch. It gives a good overview of the head bolt job on m156 engines and certainly helped allay some of the fears I had about buying an e63 I'm looking for.

    E63 estate

    2007 Mercedes-Benz E Class E63K 5dr Tip Auto ESTATE Petrol Automatic | eBay Be nice to hear people's thoughts on this if anyone cares to venture an opinion. Googled the trader and got some worrying reviews so probably not worth the risk but on paper the car looks decent.

    Experience with s211 e63 past or present

    As the title really. Who owns or has in the past the s211 e63 and what did you think of it. There are a couple of what seem like nice examples for sale at the minute, they look stunning but there's the nagging fear of running costs like brakes and dreaded engine issues. I realise there's danger...

    S211 e55

    came across this. Low miles and interesting interior but not sure about the seller if its a dealer or what, their website was a bit odd. Its on car and classic too https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/164696262321

    Hello all, long time lurker, new poster

    Hey all. Signed up to the forum in 07 when I was looking for a w123 or w124. Ended up with an old jag and old daimler instead but now ended up with an s211 e350 as the family car.
