    S212 rear suspension sinking

    I've noticed recently that my rear suspension is sinking when the car is parked, and I get a message saying to wait whilst it rises when I start the engine. It drops an inch or so overnight, more if left longer, I don't think it used to sink as much as that but it may just be because I don't use...

    S212 towbar coding?

    I've recently fitted a tow bar and a full "dedicated" electrics kit to my 2012 S212 and expected it to need coding on Star for everything to work correctly, the Westfalia kit said it was needed. However it seems that everything works as far as lighting is concerned, even the trailer bulb...

    210 e class towbar wiring

    I recently fitted a towbar to my 210 e class using a Jaeger kit, and everything works fine except bulb failure detection. Is this something that I need to get coded using STAR? It would be good to know that the car was aware of the trailer for ESP purposes as well. There is a wire that...

    Any ideas on this would be appreciated since it is very irritating! Basically, at any speed above about 40mph I get a ticking sound that seems to come from somewhere neer the base of the screen, towards the centre. The speed of the tick is fairly constant at about 3 per second and doesn't...
