    W211 Parasitic Battery Drain Problem

    Before the problem , let me wish all a Happy New Year. I've read a few relative posts but wondered if anyone could shed new light. I replaced the battery on my 2003 270 CDi yesterday for the 3rd time in 6 years. No drama in that , as the last 2 were covered under a 4 year battery guarantee...

    W140 S-Class I need to remove a rear half shaft. Any Help Please?

    Noticed the ABS light on and a quick inspection revealed the problem. The ABS 'reluctor' ring had split on the rear drivers side. No easy fix I presume apart from getting the half shaft out and replacing the ring. Just looking for some tips on how to do this and is a special press tool...

    W211 E270CDi Battery Charging Problem

    Just recently I'm getting the 'comfort functions disabled' indication after start up. Reading a few posts about Alternator / Regulator / BCM I did a few checks but want to run them by you for confirmation. I get the UB indication up at Key Pos 1 and it reads 11.6v (battery hasn't been charging...

    W140 Wings

    Has anybody any experience of buying front wings for this model? I'm wanting to replace both mine over the winter and wondered if anybody had good/bad/indifferent experiences with pattern ones. There's various ones around but the guy who'll be fitting and painting them warned me that a bad copy...

    W140 Coupe Not Starting/Cranking

    Hi, hope you can shed some light on my problem. I know the problem is electrically based due to a bit of research, but hit a brick wall. All dash ignition illuminates but won't crank over unless I put a 12v POS(+) to the starter solenoid feed, then she fires up as normal. I'm lead to believe...

    S500 Coupe(W140) Alloy Wheels Wanted

    I've just bought a 1993 S500 Coupe and its fitted (as a few are) with 16" 8 hole alloys as more commonly seen on the W140 saloons I think. I'd like to fit the original 5 hole ones (were they 18"?) or a set of AMG's if anyone out there has or knows of any available? I believe the offset should...

    W126 V8 cold start advise please

    Kwikfit Aircon recharge £29

    I asked K.F last year when they had an offer on about my W126 but they said its an older type of gas, diff pressures etc and they didn't have right adaptors etc. Sounded to me like they couldn't be bothered so didn't pursue it with them. My experience of KF is unless its dead simple they either...
