    Does my car have a DPF?

    I'm pretty sure it doesn't and this: news: Mercedes announces particulate filters on diesel cars seems to indicate they weren't installed in the IL6's until 2004 but would be great if someone can confirm this all the same. W211 E320 CDI first registered December 2003 Cheers,

    New Brakes - EBC or OEM?

    How Much More Will I Spend?

    Ok so after having had it for about a year I decided a little while ago that I'll be keeping my 2003 W211 E320 cdi for a while and that I should invest a little time and money in preventative maintenance, restoring some of it's good looks and doing a few little upgrades to keep me happy :D In...

    Can anyone identify my alloys?

    Options check with VIN number

    Hi Everyone, I understand that you can check the options supplied at the factory with a VIN number check. I found the russian MB club site: No VIN but this doesn't seem to be working.:confused: Anyone know of any other way I can find this information online? Cheers,

    Sluggish gearbox when pulling away?

    Hi All, Apologies if this seems like a silly question but here goes....I have a W211 E320 cdi on a 53 plate that I have owned for about 16 months now. It has always seemed to me that when pulling away from a standstill, it takes a brief moment (about a second or so) from applying the...
