Hi everyone, I though you might like to know that you can still buy the intermediate shelf for the W211 E-Class glove box. I was looking in the glovebox and noticed that there were a couple of supports which looked like they were designed to hold a shelf, then I had a look at some forums...

Hi there, Just bought the Media Interface Cable set for COMAND (Part number A0018276504). I only need the USB connector, so anyone care to make me an offer for the iPOD / Aux connectors? You must have the media interface slot in the side of the glovebox to use these! Details: Media...

Hi guys, Wondered if anyone has had any good or bad experiences with garage flooring - I have moved into a new property which has a bumpy concrete floor and wanted to improve it. I have been thinking: 1) Polished concrete with sealant, maybe epoxy paint 2) Just painting it and hoping this...

Hi there, Well, lucky me! I start work at DaimlerChrysler tomorrow and am looking forward to picking up a new company car (I've been told to make sure I arrive by taxi - woohoo!!! :bannana: ). Sadly this means I will need to sell my existing car, a gorgeous 1999 (T) C240 Elegance in...

Hello again to everyone! I have a bit of strange problem with my car and I was wondering if anyone could give me any advice? Over the last few weeks, whenever I turn the steering wheel to the left, I am getting a noise like a creaky spring. It's not a particularly loud noise but it is...

Just thought I would share some knowledge regarding the use of MMC (multimedia cards) and SD (secure digital) cards in high end Blaupunkt Stereos (for playing back mp3 files). I have the "Los Angeles" tuner. I've discovered that these units are very sensitive to the cards being formatted...

Ahh.. not having a particular good week with my C-Class! Last night I noticed a tiny corrosion "spider" just appearing on the edge of the boot, just behind from behind the piece of plastic which is screwed in above the number plate. This part is designed to be unscrewed to give you access...

Hi everyone, I thought I would start a new thread regarding my recent corrosion warranty claim, here is what has happened to date: 1) About a month ago I was looking under the bonnet and noticed a small amount of rust forming between the upper and lower bonnet skins, at the back of the bonnet...

Just noticed that my First Aid Kit "expired" at the end of December (it is a T-reg/1999 car so I suppose 4 years is pretty good going). Does anyone know of any cheap ways of getting hold of these? The part number is 202 860 00 50 but the dealer wants almost £30 for one of these! :crazy:

Lucky me! Someone bought me a Zymol Sampler Kit for Christmas! I have previously used the "cheap" Carbon wax (a mere £39 a pot!), but this sampler kit also includes "Concours" (full pot costs £139) and "Destiny" (full pot of this costs £394!). I think the pack is excellent value - costs £107...

My father is considering either buying a C240 (W202) or a BMW 318i. Of course I would much prefer him to have a C240 (like mine!) but I wondered what the views of the forum would be? I think they are both great cars!

I wonder if anyone could comment on the performance of my foldy-wing mirrors on my W202? Over the last few months, it seems that the mirrors are folding in more and more slowly (sometimes it feels that they will grind to a halt before they reach the maximum extent of their travel. Also...

Look at the bodywork - can you believe this car has done 50,000 miles, looks better than new - Zymol rules!

Morning all, I was looking at my engine just now and when I opened up the oil filler cap, I noticed that there was a small amount of pale coloured gunk under the filler cap - not a pretty sight! I always thought that this meant a blown head-gasket, allowing coolant into the oil and the...

I wonder if anyone can help me with a question on the plastic material which runs underneath the doors? I have got a few black spots on the (silver) plastic and I am not sure if the black spot is tar or dirt, or just the plastic showing underneath. Does anyone know what colour the plastic is...

Just come back from Kwik-Fit this morning. I saw that they had an offer where they would change your oil and filter (using Mobil 1) for £34! I thought this would be quite a bargain as to buy the 8 litres of oil my C240 uses would set me back over £60 from Halfords alone! I took an OEM filter...

I wondered if any one had noticed a slight buzzing sound behind the interior lamp on the W202? I asked at the dealership today and there is in fact, a small fan behind the lamp which drags air over a temperature sensor. The fan runs when the key is in the "2" position. Mine was making a...
