    209 CLK500 exhaust

    I have a 2004 C209 CLK500 which came to me with a stainless steel "sporty" exhaust which is a little loud for my liking. I'm curious as to whether it's possible to get an original exhaust. I'd consider buying one from a car that's being broken - or indeed swapping mine with someone who wants a...

    1995 E320 Coupe 124, Southampton, £3500

    Selling my "fun car" as I no longer have space for two cars. At 126k miles, this car is in pretty good shape, a pleasure to commute in and take out for fun drives, but not as quiet and relaxing as a modern car for motorway cruising. Some vibrations at speed, wind noise, etc. All stuff I'd...

    8-hole alloys for W124

    Looking for a set of 8-hole alloys for use as winter wheels, so need not be in perfect aesthetic condition but must have structural integrity. Ideally 7J to fit 205/60R15, but would consider 6.5J to fit 195/65R15. Tyres unimportant as I'll fit new winter tyres anyway. Thank you, Jeremy

    17" AMG alloys for W124, W202 in graphite grey

    I'm selling a set of four 17" genuine AMG alloys that were refurished in graphite grey. I don't think they suit my (recently aquired) car, however they are in excellent unmarked condition and really help the stance of the car compared to standard. Ebay link: Genuine Mercedes AMG alloy wheels...

    7g-tronic in OM642 engined W221

    As referred in this fascinating thread: http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/engine/137448-7g-tronic-tiptronic-user-notes.html as well as the User Guide, the expected behaviour of the gearbox in Comfort mode is that it'll pull away in second gear rather than first. This doesn't happen on my car and...

    W124 brochure

    Does anyone have access to a brochure describing the W124 E-class facelift models please (from years 1993-1996)? English language preferred and I'm hoping for one that has details of the whole petrol engine range and options. I'm specifically interested in saloon and coupe.

    722.9 7g-tronic starting in 1st, not 2nd

    According to the manual, my W221 S320CDI should pull off in first gear when in "S" mode and second gear when in "C" mode. Similarly it should choose from two ratios when reversing according to that selector. Additionally, it should change up earlier and change down later in C than S. In my...

    W221 S-class COMAND not fading music when making navigation announcements

    My old W211 E-class COMAND gave me the choice as to how much the music should be faded (or muted) while the navigation instructions are being spoken. On my W221 S-class, I can't find any such function. The navigation volume and music volumes appear to be completely independent of each other...

    W221 - How do I adjust headlight beam for continental driving?

    On my W211 E-class there was a lever within the Xenon headlamp housing that pulled the shutter to an angle that provided a flat headlamp beam rather than a being raised to the left - thereby making it suitable for continental driving. I've just started driving a W221 S-class but I'm...

    W221 S-class refrigerator question

    I've struggled to find an answer searching the web, so thought I'd ask here. With the rear seat refrigerator option I believe boot space in a W221 S-class is compromised. My question is whether the refrigerator is able to be removed and refitted easily in order to free up space when needed, or...

    Can anyone identify the connector type please?

    Hi folks, I am trying to tap into some ignition-switched power without disturbing any existing wiring and found the connection pictured which powers the 12V cigar socket for the rear compartment of my 2003 W211 E320CDI. I'm hoping to simply disconnect the plug and use the socket to...

    Accessing phone antenna connection on Nokia 6310i equipped 2003 W211

    My E320 CDI has the Nokia 6310i telephone pre-wiring in place, working fine but time to move on. I've got a Viseeo MB1000 for BlueTooth, but my iPhone's reception is terrible on the move, so I've been in the habit of re-directing calls to the old Nokia in order to maintain a decent length...

    Engine cover - what is it actually for?

    Mildly facetious question, I am assuming its primary purpose is to muffle noise from the engine, but I'm also curious whether there's any other purpose. I've discovered that the engine cover is responsible for the majority of unpleasant noise from my engine - resonating as the engine...

    How long should the dampers (shock absorbers) in W211 Airmatic front struts last?

    I have a 150,000 mile E320 CDI with Airmatic. It suffers what I think to be a rough ride and is very sensitive to wheel balancing issues. I had the opportunity to follow and observe my car from another today, driving next to it I could see that the front wheels (especially driver-side)...
