I bought my E280cdi 2007 sport in June. I never gelled with the car for some reason and due to different faults i lost faith in the car. I decided to buy something i found more interesting and with a more classic styling, a 2004 Jaguar xkr. I paid £5000 for my car in June 2016 which i would...

A couple of months ago i replaced the 6 glow plugs with the correct Beru ones, this took away the glow plug light that had been staying on. Now in this cold weather it taking a while to start, it coughs into life and puffs out unburnt diesel. I read this is more than likely the glow plug control...

Hi chaps I recently started to notice the turbo whistle every so slightly with normal easy driving, when i rev the engine in neutral you hear it slightly too, is this normal in the colder weather, im just looking for reassurance. :rolleyes:

Hey chaps. My e280 cdi 2007 failed its mot due to the parking brake not working sufficiently. I do have to press the pedal down far for it to grip properly but it does work if pressed hard enough. Do i just need to adjust it or does it sound like shoes or pads are needed. I have never dealt...

I thought i would start a new thread to see if anyone has cured this problem with the ABS reluctance rings. My 7g gearbox was serviced and software updated a few weeks ago so its not that. When driving around town, if i take my foot off to coast and slow down, i get a light braking effect...

My e280 cdi has a flat badge on the bonnet, i dont know if thats normal for the sport but i want to add the upright star emblem, does anyone have one for sale. I also need a rear drivers side mudflap but will buy a pair if thats the only option. :thumb:

w211 e280 cdi sport I want to get my gearbox serviced, 7g tronic, how much should it cost and is it necessary to use an indie or can i use any reputable garage? :thumb:

When i got my car a couple of months ago the 7g auto gearbox seemed smooth enough. Because of my occasional limp mode problem i was doing a lot of thrashing about trying to repeat the fault, i have stopped the thrashing about now. When i pull away at work in C mode, im faced right away with a...

e280 cdi 2007 sport 7g tronic I had posted recently about how my car was jerky at accelerating sometimes, then i had no kickdown as it was in limp mode. I had cleaned my 2 Maf sensors and it has been fine for a couple of weeks. 2 weeks ago my car was in at Mercland for a suspension repair...

My glow plug light stays on after the engine is started. It can also be difficult to start at times. If i give it 3 glows is usually starts quickly. I got a diagnostic done and was informed of 2 faulty plugs. Should i replace the 2 plugs or replace them all? Is is easy to do on the v6 as a diy...

Hi, does my fuel consumption sound ok. I just want to be sure its not lower than normal. I have the 7g autobox, 2007 e280 cdi sport saloon with 124k. I reset the fuel consumption gauge whilst already on the motorway, so this is just cruising at an average of 62mpg, over 75 miles it averaged...

I panicked and thought my low power and no auto kick down were the results of a gearbox problem, after much research i have read it could be a MAF sensor, which could be causing the 'limp mode' and no EML, which in turn prevents the auto kick down. So today i disconnected the 2 MAF sensors...

I bought my car a few weeks ago e280 cdi 2007 sport 124k, i did not notice any knocks at the time so its a bit of sods law this has happened now. Just after buying the car 3 weeks ago i noticed a very slight knock when going over small bumps, it was similar to an anti roll bar link noise. It...

I got my 2007 E280 cdi Sport 124k, 3 weeks ago. It did drive fine on the test drive but im not sure if this has been happening with the previous owner. Sometimes the auto box does not kick down and the car has very little power. There is no warning lights of any kind on my dash. One of the...

Hi guys, i have had my E280 cdi sport for nearly a week now, the car is really great but im not impressed with the mats, they look a bit cheap, i could remove them and just see the nice carpet below but i thought i would ask if there is any nice mats available. I dont really need rear mats so...

Im looking for the above car, must be well looked after. I dont want to have anything with a mileage higher than 150k ish. Private sellers only. Im based in Coventry, i would consider travelling far if something worthwhile comes up.

Hi Guys I have never got round to buying a Merc and so i think the time has come. Im trying to not go far over £2500 so its looking like a 2003 or 2004 e270 cdi or e320 cdi saloon for my budget. Is the valeo radiator still a concern on these cars and best avoided? If so how can i...

guys i have now decided not to go for the s-class cdi, reading between the lines its a hit or a miss if i get a decent one, i have not seen any advertised and thought wow thats been looked after and well serviced, i think thats a couple of requirements if buying a older s-class. so im onto...

Guys i have got this notion of buying a 10 year old 2003 s-class 320cdi, my budget wont allow anything newer. Anyway do these cars require a lot of attention and things replaced as they get to this age. Im good at mechanics and dont mind doing fixes to my car, im just a bit reluctant due to the...

guys i am thinking of buying the S Class S320 CDi soon, they are quite hard to find especially on the west coast of scotland. This one is 19 miles away but a bit pricey, the owner says it has been well serviced the last 2 years he has had it but his mate did it, so service history not complete...
