I had the same problem on my W211 with the panoramic roof. Try identifying the fuse that controls the sunshade, remove it, replace it and try again to close the sunshade. The underlying problem with mine was that the sunroof rails needed lubricating so that seemed to have an impact on the...

My 2003 W211 E320CDI used to stay well below 70C all the time and I would rarely get over 40 mpg. I did get it checked and the thermostat was changed and the temp is now around 90C once it has warmed up. I noticed probably a 10%-15% improvement in the mpg and now regularly get at least 45mpg on...

I have a W211 E320 CDI with a similar spec to yours. I had to replace the battery about 3 months ago (the first change) and this was after a gradual detoriation of the battery with the usual 'consumer units switched off' message before it finally refused to start the engine. It is the main...

Sorry - just another question... :doh: Would the CD changer still work?? Thanks

Thanks Richard - looks relatively straight forward. Thanks for all of the advice. It's much appreciated.

Thanks Diesel Benz - so is it just a matter of swapping the units over then in my situation? Any additional parts or STAR coding required so that it would work correctly? Thanks

Thanks to everyone who have provided lots of useful information for me. If I understand it then for whatever option I go for then I will still need to install the Navi Processor in the boot? I was hoping I could get away without doing this with the APS 50 as I was going to buy this one on ebay ...

I currently have a W211 E320 CDI which has the the Audio 20 Cassette with the 6 CD multi change installed. I am interested in seeing what the upgrade options are to get a mercedes sat nav system installed. I've had a look on the forums here and searched the web but can't quite figure out what...

I had problems with my interior lights on my 2003 E320 CDI when the main battery was begin to faik. After the battery was replaced by a main dealer, along with a software reset it all worked perfectly and has been fine ever since. It may be the early signs of the battery needing to be...

This happened to a Freelander that I used to own. When I went to the Land Rover dealer to get a replacement 'button' they told me that they didn't sell them separately and I'd have to get a whole new seatbelt. I eventually used a 'push stud' like SliverSaloon suggested and it worked perfectly

£45+VAT labour charge! I took it to the garage that I normally used first but they said that they didn't know how to reset the computer etc after the battery had been disconnected so they suggested the MB dealer....

Hi Gareth I have a 2003 E320 CDI (W211) which I've had the error message coming up since November. I'd never had any problems with it starting so I just ignored the message until early this week when the battery was totally flat and the car wouldn't start:crazy: . Since yours had been a long...

Just an update on this if anyone is interested. I've just had to replace the main battery after I had the message 'electrical consumers switched off' and then a totally flat battery. I had it replaced at the local MB dealer and then 'hey presto' the rear light cluster and switches now work! I...

Hopefully you'll have it all sorted now since it's very cold:confused: Just out of interest - was it the auxillary battery at the front or the main one in the boot that needed replacing??

Thanks for the information evdok. I'll wait to see if the MODS can do this? Cheers...

Thanks evdok... The problem is still there so if you get to speak to your mate about it then that would be helpful.. Cheers

Sounds like a one off problem for me then...! Glad yours is all working ok now :)

Thanks for checking in the rain! So it's two sets of lights that have gone in mine then.... :mad:

That would be really helpful. Thanks for the offer - it is much appreciated. :)

Maybe fell asleep on the back seat with the soft lighting :D
