    W211 E320 CDI - Headlamps too low on dipped beam

    It did strike me as odd too! Yes, it was dipped beam. I just did a VIN lookup for the data, nothing about Xenon lamps there so must be a non-standard "upgrade" from the previous owner.

    W211 E320 CDI - Headlamps too low on dipped beam

    Hmm, the plot thickens. I don't have washers but I do have the levelling selector by the headlamp switch, however, it will only go from 0 - 1 and stops, not reaching 2 or 3. Maybe this was a botched upgrade?

    W211 E320 CDI - Headlamps too low on dipped beam

    I'm finding it impossible to adjust the dipped beam any higher. As I adjust on the vertical axis the bulb housing moves forward and backwards in the reflector but even at full forward extension it's dangerously low. As a note it does adjust lower if I adjust the bulb housing back into the...

    Budapest to Sicily and back - 2004 E320 CDI I6 - Any tips?

    Hi Pete, well in short a divorce, a move to Hungary and a wedding should go some way to explain my absence! Unfortunately I can't PM yet on this forum. What's the protocol on DM outside of the forum? I've been in BP for nearly three years now and am intrigued how I might be able to advise you.

    Hi Folks, I'm planning a trip from Budapest to Sicily over October with my wife and our 2004 E320 CDI. We love the car and though it's well used (269,000 miles), it still runs like a dream. Our last trip was to Split, Croatia from Budapest and back (1000 mile round trip) and got 47mpg overall...
