Thanks for that.

Trying to work out when I'm going to need to change the transmission oil. How do I know if its a NAG2, NAG2-FE. One is changed at 31,000 miles and the other is changed at 77,500 miles. The code I have from the VIN is 722908 07 621682. Cheers

Thanks to all the Derek's, and those less fortunate not to be named Derek, for the advice. Test driving the Merc tomorrow, cant wait. Test drove an A6 earlier and found it pretty boring.

Thanks for the reply. TBH, I have no idea why I discounted RWD cars in the past. I have a single axle Coachman which is quite a heavy van. I have experienced quite a bit of snaking going by lorries on the motorway, so looking for something that can cope a bit better. Using a Passat at the...

Hello all, Im looking for a new family car which needs to be able to tow a caravan. On doing some research I was surprised to see that the E class is very highly rated for towing, I had never considered a rear wheel drive car as a tow car. Anyone tow a caravan and got any advice? Found the...

Hi Jon, Thanks for the response. The only thing that concerns me about high milers is the wear and tear parts of the car. I was quoted £750 for two sections of an exhaust for the W210. Ive never had a car yet were the engine wear has been an issue. I see the benefit in having a lower mileage...

Hello, If the Merc at Arnolds was £300 cheaper would that make it a better deal? Personally I dont think they have done a good job advertising it. It has a full leather interior, which isnt clear from the listing or the photos? The Merc has a MB glasgow service history. Im assuming if the...

Thanks for the responses, Ill have a look at the cars suggested.

Hello All, I am thinking of getting another Merc and would appreciate some help. I had a W210 a few years ago but had major problems with rust (usual places) and the exhaust. Traded that in for a Rav 4 (no I'm not a hairdresser). Now that we have a dug and a wean I'm looking at getting an...

Thanks for the reply. The window is secure as the cables are wound back over the pulleys. Will check the link you posted later as I cant get Ebay in work, pesky bosses! Cheers

Hello W210 rear window made horrible crunching sound and window would'nt go back up. Took door card off and the wire cable was pretty mangled. Managed to get it wound back round the pulleys and got window back up, but due to the cabling being kinked the window worked a few times before...

My contact spring/srs ring has broken. The cable has snapped right at the connector, so unable to bodge the cable back together. Does anyone know the part number for the unit or cable? I have the broken SRS ring in front of me, what format does the part number take? Below is a previous thread...

Is that a big job? Do you need a special tool to get the steering wheel off? Is there any conection with that spring and the SRS light? Im off for a google!

Hello All, I have lost all function from the steering wheel. No horn, all function buttons have no effect and they dont light up. I have checked all the fuses under the bonnet, rear seat & on the dash at driver door, all are ok. The car is a 2000 W210 240 petrol. Anyone got any ideas? Derek

Using blackcircles and discount-vouchers, I can get 4 Falken 452's fitted for £375. Im assuming most would agree that these would be a better bet than the Avons? Derek

Spike, I have been skating about on Triangle Talons for the past 8 months (they came incuded with the alloys). I have been putting off replacing them due to being tight, but ended up facing the wrong way coming off a round about this morning. It was fun, but not want I was hoping for at the...

They are 235/45/17s 94w. They seem to get mixed reviews but I dont think i will get better for the price. Can make up my own mind for that price. Cheers for replying troops

Hello Currently have really sh1ty tryes on the car which have no grip in the wet. National can supply and fit Avon ZZ3's for £340 (buy 3 get 4th free) I think thats a good deal. Anyone got any thoughts on the matter? Anyone using or have used them? Derek

Hello all, Replaced my battery today as it was'nt holding its charge. Once replaced and car started got two malfuctions on the dash. One was for traction control and the other for brake assist. Hooked up my diagnostic kit, carried out a full test, cleared all faults, went for a spin and re ran...

I cant even see how to lift the seat. Not sure how old the battery is only had the car a year. The car had always started with the slightest flick of the key, very suprised it didnt start. Cheers for replying
