After ten years running an E-Class 320 CDI, it is finally time for a change; the new car is an Audi and it arrives tomorrow. Over the last couple of months I have entertained myself during long journeys by contemplating the things I am going to miss when I switch marques and, as the subject...

Hello people, my battery on my E-Class (2005) went flat (I recharged it successfully) and this seems to have taken my automatic wipers out - they still work but only intermittently, if you see what I mean. There is nothing wrong with the electronics, I think (sensors, relays and switches...

Just to report that I have the MB SAP cradle V3 and a Samsung phone (Galaxy S4). The phone pairs using SAP effortlessly and works flawlessly. I could not get the phonebook to sync at all but I have read elsewhere that there are known issues with Samsung's implementation of the BPAP protocol...

Hi everyone, I would be grateful if someone could tell me the location of the Parktronic control module on a S211 E Class estate? Since some particularly heavy rainfall two weeks ago, the entire Parktronic system has been intermittently dropping out. I am guessing the control unit my be a bit...

I love pets as much as anyone, but this page on the BBC website made me laugh: BBC News - Man in underwear crawls over frozen river to rescue dog Specifically: The headline of the story is a man who climbed onto the ice and saved his dog, which had fallen through the ice and could not get...

Is it me - or does the new banner look like a couple of scalextric cars?

I am planning to buy an Argocat or similar 6x6 ATV to run on some swamp I have bought. I am struggling to identify any UK-based resources for these vehicles (forums, owners clubs, etc.) and I wondered if any forum members have one or any experience of the vehicles or similar (MAX, etc.) and...

Hi, I am just posting this up so as to raise awareness of some development work going on the Android developer community. If you are interested in the whole SAP compatibility issue with the MB Bluetooth module, then you may be interested in tracking - or even assisting with - this development...

Hello experts, can you please help? My car (211 E320 Cdi 2005) has gone into Limp Home mode (limited power, max 3000rpm, no kickdown, max speed approx 50mph). From reading the many posts on this forum about these symptoms it appears the MAF sensor is most likely at fault (though it will...

Now, I know this is going to come across as being curmudgeonly, but.... What is it on this forum all of a sudden with all the posts containing "C63" in the title when it has absoutely nothing to do with the post subject? I am not going to quote actual examples because I know it isn't done...

Hello, I have just fallen victim to a pothole and I need an alloy wheel to be refurbished (and the car is less than 1 week old :( ). Does anyone have a recommendation for a good alloy refurbisher in Guildford / Surrey area? Thanks Philip

Can't wait. I get my new BMW on Monday morning - I will be at the dealership at 9.00. This is the first time I have ever got in on the first day of a new registration. Anyone else getting a "10" plate on Monday?

This is a long shot: I need a passenger wing mirror cover (inc. indicator lens) for a 2005 E-Class (211), though the same mirror is used on the 203 C-Class. Preferably in Cubanite :) Will pay cash or happily swap for a %*$"@#~ useless concrete gate post that took the existing mirror clean...

Can anyone please help? My PC won't let me log on anymore; it logs you straight back off again - including the Administrator log-in and also in Safe Mode. A web search indicates this is a not-unknown problem and this has pointed me to a partial solution whereby I can log in if I swap the...

Here are some pictures of my car, I thought you lot would like to see what I drive (sorry I can't include the photos and have to use links, guys). The first pic is of the car sitting on the roadside. It looks really great - as you can see, the paintwork has been fully detailed and the car...

Speeding, accidents, women drivers...men drivers.... They are all covered in this completely riveting read that I am partway through at the moment: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Traffic-Drive-What-Says-About/dp/0713999314/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1222793325&sr=8-1 The book calls...

I have noticed that there are a fair few theads in recent months where posters (not the OP) feel that it is OK to call the Police derogatory names. Two such threads that I have seen this morning include the word "tosser" and "w****s" to describe the Police. I do not believe the Police are all...

Does anyone with Linguatronic (or knowledge of it) know if you can control the playing of MP3s using it? I have Linguatronic but the system doesn't appear to have a command (that I can find in the documentation or by saying things to the system) to select the MP3 function or to navigate...

There we go, that thread title got your attention. I have just received an email from the "other side", which is mercedesclub.org.uk forum (to be honest, I didn't even know I had registered on there, so it was a bit confusing at first). Apparently, if I join the Mercedes Benz Owners Club...
