    Approved Used Oddity

    Not posted here for a while but just thought I'd share my odd experience when wanting to go look at an approved used vehicle. Currently considering a replacement for my S212 but in no rush and waiting for the right car at the right price to turn up. In the weekend between Xmas and New Year I...

    W207 E-Class Coupe/Cabrio Genuine AMG Mats

    These were in my S212 when I bought it approved used. No mats when I test drove so I requested some and these were what they fitted. Was a week or two before I cottoned that they weren't correct so bought the right ones and have had them sitting around since. Part no. on the reverse is A207...

    W212 Active Bonnet Pedestrian Protection

    Another brilliant innovation that is likely to become a long term pain in the butt! The premise here is that, if you hit a pedestrian, sensors are triggered and the back of the bonnet rises by 50mm at the far corners to cushion the impact. Not hit anyone (or anything) yet in 30 years of...

    W212 Parktronic Self-Test Problem

    Just logging this problem here should anyone else come across it. Had the car 6 months now and the parktronic plays up once in a while - so that's loud beep, red lights on the display followed by deactivation when I first drive off. I thought I narrowed it down to wet and/or cold and therefore...

    W211 E-Class Cup Holder

    Lifted out of my old car before trading it in. As we know they're not perfect since design is for a LHD car, but better than what's there! £25.00 posted. Payment by bank transfer or by cheque.

    My 2010 E350 CDI Estate

    Wasn't planning on changing my 2004 S211 320 CDI until maybe sometime next year. I'd owned it for 7 years and it had a mere 57k miles on the clock. Probably needed 2 new front tyres (MOT noted that they were legal but worn on the outside for some peculiar reason) and the SBC system had become...

    Brand new S-Class*& C-Class) Mats in Beige £20

    Genuine Mercedes Benz S Class Carpet Mats Cashmere on eBay (end time 21-Mar-10 13:45:14 GMT) Not sure if they are W220 or W221 but a huge saving over RRP - if they happen to match your interior of course! I picked up a set for my own car last week at the same price and there were a few others...

    W211 Front Bumper - Protective strip removal?

    Hi Any one know exactly how this is done - I need to get at a parking sensor which has been pushed in. I hit a bird at speed last weekend (dopey thing was pecking at road kill early a.m. and misjudged my speed). I thought I/it had got away with a few feathers in the mesh of a fog light...

    Rear Parking Sensors - Removal?

    Anyone know how to? My car had a bumper change (see pic), so original silver sensors were re-painted black. Two of them are starting to show a bit of silver, so I want to take them all off and re-spray. I assume there is a generic type of fitment across all models, but I can't find...

    W211 Fuel Filler Cap Attachment

    When I picked up the replacement mirror indicator from the parts dept last week (as detailed in a previous post), the chap serving me said "anything else Sir". Off the top of my head, I mentioned that my fuel cap was detached from it's fixing, so he came out with me and had a look. It's been...

    W211 Mirror Blinker Replacement

    Hi Can anyone advise exactly how to slide off the mirror housing from around the mirror body? I cracked a blinker lense (against the wing mirror of a parked car) and am trying to replace it. The mirror glass is out (this I believe is unnecessary - but it fell out on impact and was...

    2007 AMG Wheels

    It didn't take long for these replicas to appear, though I've only seen 3 sets and all by the same seller. I did consider them as they are VFM if they are as good as they look, but I'd like to see them in the flesh. Much to my irritation I've curbed one of my wheels, but they are...

    Stateside CLS500 (Picture Feast)

    Not a car that does much for me personally styling-wise (I'm surprised at this myself having always previously been the coupe type!)...but some really tasty shots Don't know what the boot badge is about though?........!

    Mercedes air con?

    I've read one or two other posts here, and is it official that Mercedes air con is pants? In my last two cars I'd get frost bite if I set the thermostat to minimum. In my 2 and a half year old W211 the system seems barely effective even with the blowers full on through just the driver's...

    What is an "E" Service?

    Last week my car was telling me that there are around 3k miles to the next service (it's on about 18k and was last serviced at 10k). Now all of a sudden it is telling me that an E Service is due in about a month. So what is one of these then - I can't seem to find anything in the owner's...

    W211 AMG side skirts

    Here... I'm after a set myself, but I want them to be colour-matched so that I can simply bolt them on. I saw a black set a short while back which went for @ £250. Does anyone know how easy these things are to attach? I assume it's just a case of undoing a handful of screws?
