    Mercedes S211 - tailgate open warning message

    Tailgate won't lock remotely. Have managed to lock it but don't have time to get it fixed until new year. In the meantime can anyone tell me which fuse and its location I can safely remove to stop the red warning circle constantly appearing on dashboard every time I pull away!

    2005 W211 e 320cdi - oil level conundrum

    Yes dipstick good idea but you have to take half the engine cover off to get to it and not sure which is correct one anyway. Agree with comment about electronic measurement. Mine said 2.4 litres when it was supposedly empty,

    2005 W211 e 320cdi - oil level conundrum

    Thanks for the replies. Did it via vacuum pump in the end. Both dashboard oil measurements then seemed to work when oil put in and I now have “oil level ok“ and “oil level 7.2 litres”. TBH - interesting exercise but a bit of a faff and probably just let my Indy do it next time.

    S211 with IL6 engine - oil change

    Well i'll be damned - thanks. I knew about the transmission dipstick but not the capped off engine oil one - prob because it's hidden under the engine cover. So presumably I can use that with a vacuum pump?

    S211 with IL6 engine - oil change

    Ok thanks- so through filler is a no no. Didn't think there was a dipstick tube and that oil level was checked via dashboard menu. If there is a capped off one can anyone tell me where it is?

    S211 with IL6 engine - oil change

    If your car doesn’t have an engine oil dipstick - as my car doesn’t - is there any alternative to changing the engine oil other than via the sump. I mean can a vacuum pump be used via the oil filler opening or wouldn’t that work?

    Part-time work for students

    You don't say where your daughter is a student but if she is near a town, rather than rely on agencies, who are often very slow to respond if at all. I would advocate walking into shops, offices etc and asking if they have any vacancies. That way she would be much more in control of her own...

    Wondered how you got on with this? As it turned out my car wentabout 1000 miles using the Forte DPF cleaner. Ultimately I'm going to remove and clean the dpf but for now I've put another bottle of DPF cleaner in. Just tested it and soot content down to 5%. How long it will last I don't know.

    Seized Water Pump E320 CDi (on M6)

    Luckily I hadn't done anything about my RAC membership and it renewed by default. They were excellent - patrol van in 30 mins and then recovery truck about 2-3 hrs later. Took me back to my local indy where he managed to get the car into the only free space in a crowded street even though...
