Hi, After 3 years of replacing the N/S Rear Airspring, my 2003 S211 E220 CDI has got the issue of both rear air springs going down this time. Thankfully, this car only have air springs at the back! It started with an airport run a few months month ago where I put lots of luggage in the boot...

Hi all, I've a 2003 E220 CDI Estate. I replaced the main battery of my car 6 months ago with Advanced 019 AGM Car Battery 95ah 900cca with 5yr Warranty. I think the original was 70Ah. For the last 2 days since weather has turned colder, the error message "Convenience features not...

Hi, I had some suspension work done at the front of my car some time ago (lower/ upper ball joints, suspension control arm) but only had the front wheel tracking done (not very reliable/ accurate set up). Recently when the car was lifted on the ramps (to check the wheel bearing play), I found...

Hi, My car is a 2003 E220 CDi Estate S211. I've 1 leaky injector that is causing long cranks and starting issues when cold. As its an old car with 200K miles, I am planning to buy a used/ refurbished one to get me going again. When I check online, I am getting numerous part numbers for C/E/S...

Hi, My 2003 S211 E220 CDi Estate was giving some starting issue (cold start) during recent winters as it would always take a few cranks in the morning, very similar to my previous 2002 S210 that I had before. The battery and glow plugs were fine on my S210 and replacing the fuel pipes (front...
