    How can I get the rear hatch open

    Hi and thanks for your reply, as far as I can see there's only one keyhole and that's in drivers door, so opened up that first then opened other doors via internal handles Is it OK to charge the car using the connections under the bonnet, will it not upset the electrics ?

    How can I get the rear hatch open

    Hi All, I've left my E350 estate unused for a month or so and the battery is now flat. I've managed to open the drivers door with the key and then all other doors but can't open the boot from inside to get the battery out to put it on charge. Is there another way to get the bootlid open ?

    272 Engine Balance shaft problems

    What is the approximate cost for the parts and how much labour is involved ? Have had the CEL light on for a couple of months now but car doesn't feel any different. Also is this a job for my local friendly mechanic bloke (he's not MB) just does a lot of my servicing on other cars
