    W212 facelift (and later versions) - headlamp units... worldwide shortage!

    Whilst I sympathise with your problem and will be just as upset as you if/when mine goes I feel I have to correct you when you refer to LED bulbs. There are no LED bulbs in the unit, it consists of a number of Light Emitting Diodes. I am not an electrical expert but normally individual LED's...

    W212 facelift (and later versions) - headlamp units... worldwide shortage!

    You refer to LED bulbs. If your headlamps are like mine the are partial LED headlamps. The dipped beam is LED and the main beam is a H7 halogen bulb which can be replaced. The LED's cannot be replaced and the whole headlamp has to be replaced when they fail. The rear lamp unit is LED and has to...

    Update Control Unit Software

    I had my 2014 W212 E350 Bluetech booked in for a service today. On the check in sheet one of the work items they had was "SMPC770 update control unit software 19P5496120" I tried googling the item but couldn't find any information on the work. When I arrived at the garage I asked the Service...

    I haven't used them yet for car tyres but I have used them twice for Michelin motorcycle tyres and would recommend them.

    Holiday time - Spain

    I would recommend the Parador at Aiguablava. The sea view is fantastic. Every room has a sea view.

    Just upgraded rear bulbs to LED style!! What a difference

    I think you will find these are for off road use only, therefore, they are not E approved.

    New Tyres

    I would be interested to hear your impressions of these tyres when they are run in. Especially how quiet they are as I have Pirelli P Zeros at the moment and I think they are the noisiest tyres I have had although they seem to be long wearing.

    Command questions

    If you look in the handbook, or download it via the Mercedes app onto a smartphone or tablet, it says that Dynamic route guidance is from the communications module which has an integrated SIM card. But this is a subscription service which was included in the purchase price of the car for the...

    European Head Lights

    I think you will find the rear high intensity fog light will be on the wrong side and will need changing.

    OMG What's Happened to the Forum...

    The new style looks clearer but like most people I was familiar with the old style which wasn't perfect. But like Martyn_n who as pipped me while I am writing this, why is everything underlined?

    Driving in France: Mobilo or Mercedes-Benz Service24h cover

    I use an approved MB workshop in Spain which is listed on the MB website and this therefore complies with the warranty and maintains Mobilo. They register the service on the MB computer and get the work to be carried from it. Also on the last two services which were within the 3 year warranty...

    Driving in France: Mobilo or Mercedes-Benz Service24h cover

    I had an accident while driving through France about 8 years ago on a Sunday afternoon in December when there had been snow for many days in the UK and France and I couldn't drive my car. I phoned my insurance company and wasn't very happy to be told that whilst the car was covered by them while...

    Myfirstamg, it is a long time since the last post. Did you complete the rebuild and get the car back on the road. If so it would be interesting to hear how it all went and perhaps see some pictures.

    Coming back to MB from VAG

    It is no contest, I would take the 350 every time over the 250, it is far smoother and quiter and even a remapped 250 wouldn't match it for torque. I would suggest you try them both and I think you would make the same choice. By the way it is a V6 motor not straight and regards your earlier post...

    Fuel station at Cite Europe

    Second Survey's suggestion. That's what I do and take the first exit out of the port and go via Calais Town which avoids going on the dual carriageway and motorway out of the port and running the risk of getting involved with the asylum seekers.
