    W211 Self Levelling Headlight System

    Bit of an update on this issue, not long after my last post I picked up a used unit for 40 notes. Fitted and all has been good since, but today it's back. Sometimes they adjust other times they don't, so either it's the same unit again or coincidence that when I changed it first time the...

    How much do you pay for insurance

    I pay under £300 for my W211 and the wife pays under £200 for her W203. But it's not that clear cut. age of car, your age, driving history, postcode, excesses etc all make a difference so I can't really see how we can realistically compare. Sorry to pee on your bonfire so to speak :)

    Selecting Reverse

    I wouldn't have thought it's a fault as such, just taking up slack in the drive train. As you say you're on a slope so it must be related to the way it's happening. It can't be doing it much good though. I actually thought it was recommended in the highway code to drive out onto a road rather...

    Comand, Leather, AMG body kit and a scantily clad female on the bonnet ?

    Matte Leather Cleaner

    I use a lanolin based saddle cleaner / feed called Flexolan or something like that ? Use it on my bike leathers once a year and also works well on car seats to keep them supple :thumb: Horsey friend of ours got it for me.

    Ahaaaa help white smoke! W211/E220

    Are you actually losing any coolant ? Is it bubbling in the header tank or overheating ? Is the level dropping in the header because if it isn't then it's not coolant that's your problem. A faulty injector can also cause white smoke.

    E270Cdi 2004 phone

    If I were to guess I'd say probably a Nokia 6210,6310,6310i but it's a pure guess based on the year, the link provided already tells you exactly what to look for ;)

    Murray through

    You were right though, his little "Kevin" moments don't help him, you can see every time he showed his frustration his play suffered. If he could even out his mood on court and chill out a bit more like Mr Federer then he would be capable of so much more. Next year ! :)

    Change of heart ? I'm sure that's not what you posted earlier ? :p :devil: Mike:D

    Murray through

    As always Federer played like a first class athlete, hardly broke a sweat and I think Murray needs to mature a bit more and control his emotions before he'll win it. Entertaining though none the less and Murray can hold his head up high.

    Squeeky Suspension

    Don't know where you are in Shropshire but Matthew at Malkin Motors in Wem is a really good guy. Ex merc trained and is VERY reasonable. I've always done a lot of my own work on all my cars but the E class always goes to him for servicing to keep the history up. It takes a lot for me to trust a...

    W211 E280 cdi poor fuel consumption

    Interesting to know, my 211 was defo the A/C as a single treatment with an A/C bomb cleared it and that was two years ago now. I think using the A/C keeps the bacteria at bay and mine is never off. But I've not had an issue with the washer fluid smelling on either mine or the wifes 203. Perhaps...

    W211 E280 cdi poor fuel consumption

    I would have thought if you up the strength of your screen wash for a bit it should clean itself anyway, never heard of this prob before if I'm honest.

    Form an ordely queue

    Absolutely but I'd wager it wouldn't take too long to find a pattern of similar ads over a period if it was the underlying tactic. All Hypothetically speaking you understand, a car dealership would never do anything so underhand as misleading it's customers, that's like accusing a bank of...

    VED review

    My bike costs £70 and my Merc £235, the Merc does 36mpg but the bike only does 35mpg ! My Land Rover pollutes everything, drips oil, smells and only does 25mpg but costs zero VED ? You have to admit the system is fundamentally floored but then there isn't a perfect system someone will always...

    Form an ordely queue

    Which is sort of the point, as said by someone else above, a cynic would say it was an advertising "con" to up the online exposure of their dealership and products. Personally I'm not a cynic, I'm convinced they're taking the P*** ;)

    80mph speed limits, Pah

    What always amazes me about the speed limit is if 70 is considered the safe limit on our motorways and dual carriageways how come manufacturers aren't forced by our safety nazi government to fit speed limiters to prevent any of us exceeding the limit ? I admit that 100 is excessive for most of...

    W211 E280 cdi poor fuel consumption

    Bacteria in the Aircon, if you don't use your A/C regularly bacteria will grow in there and that's what the smell is. Very commen if you search the forum. An aircon bomb will sort it.
