Hi All Anyone know where to get genuine MB rear shocks for W211. Cheap would be good.

I got zapped by a hand held speed gun and issued with a ticket. I was advised by a friend to write to the police asking for written confirmation of a calibration certificate. This I did a some weeks later received a reply which stated that the certificate is additional evidence which is only...

:bannana: I must say that after reading some of the comments about Millenium Mercedes I was a little put off, but decided to give them the benefit of the doubt as it's quite some distance to Autotechnic in Loddon. I'm very glad I did. Richard, the diagnostic technician there was friendly...

Hi All The compartment that can be fitted with a cup holder, has a push release mechanism on the lid, which is currently not pushing or realising unless you use both hands and jiggle it about. I can't really see how it works. Can anuone tell me how to fix the problem? Cheers

Just so I know I'm not imagining things, is the headlight switch illuminated or not. I'm sure I have seen the little icons lit up around the switch and now they're not. If they are meant to be lit and I'm not going mad, is it likely to be a bulb and if so how easy is it to replace?

Hi, my E320 auto box seems to be playing about. Sometimes when foot is hard down, gear change is very noticable and when slowing down it seems to come to a virtual stop and then drops into first. Had the oil changed about 2 months ago and they re-set the box with their electronic plug in gizmo...

Hi All At the MPH show at Earls Court, I picked up a product called autolights. It's a self install bit of electronics with a sensor to automatically switch on lights when in a tunnel/dark areas etc. It takes power from the ignition switch and you need to tap into headlight and sidelight wires...

After waiting for 3 months, I've kind of given up on MB (Robinsons) ever getting hold of a copy of the audio 10 booklet. I wondered if anyone out there has a copy and might be able to scan the instructions for the radio and send to me. If any kind soul thinks they can help please pm me. Ta

Does anyone know if Mercedes endorse/recommend a particular manufacturer for LPG conversion?

Any ideas how to get into a W210 that has a flat battery and the metal key won't unlock door. Is there a positive terminal accessable to give a little power to the battery, or is the only option to smash a window?

My W210 is just about due for a service. I plan to buy fully synthetic oil from Halfords (daughter has a staff discount card) and was wondering if I should supply the spark plugs as well. You see so many adverts for plugs that provide a greater, or multiple spark. Are these worth using or are...

Can anyone please tell me how to take off TP from the audio 10. I've tried all the buttons in various orders, but i'm stumped. A book for the radio from Mercedes is £8.00, so if anyone knows how to do it I'll be £8.00 better off

Sitting in traffic and all of a sudden the ABS, ESP and BAC lights come on, with a constantly rotating message for each saying visit workshop. There is no noticable difference in the drive of the car, so I'm wondering first of all what might have caused it and secondly is it safe to drive. Any...

My drivers heated seat only works on the back and the passenger heated seat only works on the bum. I've been told, that the element is in the leather and cannot be replaced/repaired. It's not the end of the world, but it would be nice to have them both working properly. Any suggestions ?

I bought my E320 from County Cars in Gerrards Cross and dealt with a nice bloke called Graham. He specialises in MB and had some nice cars there. For the odd bits and pieces that needed doing on the car I bought , like folding mirror and heater blower not working I was referred to Trident...

Can any aftermarket head unit/changer be made to work with the multi function steering wheel. I've been told that the interface lead needed will only work with German makes, ie Blaupunkt. Is there any truth to this or is someone having a laugh?

On the 210 I've bought, the rear offside window doesn't work properly. When I bought the car the dealer said "oh thats not a problem, it needs re-setting". He did so by holding the up button for about 30 seconds. It seemed to work after that, but now same problem has occured. Window will go...

Ga day chaps My outside temp display is just showing - and no figures. Can something be fiddled with or does it mean a whole new unit ?

I've just bought an E320 V6 (00) and am considering having it converted to LPG. Does anyone have any experience of this (good or bad feedback) and is there any reason why an LPG converted car cannot also be chipped to produce more power. The options for a tank for the LPG are quite limited...

I'm thinking of trading my w202 C220 cdi for an E class. Prob around 98-99 would be in my price range. The thing is, I'm not sure which engine to go for. I will be towing a caravan and was thinking of 300 or 320. I would appreciate any thoughts or suggestions.
