    Self-Service?

    I was being ironic, hence the winking emoji.

    Self-Service?

    Not worth anything! How dare you ;) My insurance quote says that it's worth £2600. I paid a lot less than that & they've included a new battery & a fresh MOT. Result!

    Self-Service?

    Failing eyes, knees & a dodgy back make servicing bloody hard work. There are a couple of good independents in my area, but the service schedules always seem to be a great deal of checking. Is this worth the extra spondulix? Cheers

    Indy staines/egham please

    The nearest to you will be HCL Service in Chertsey or SS Motors in Addlestone. I've used SS many times, they know what they're doing.

    Forgive me!

    I was desperate. I'd started a new job & whilst 20 MPG in My S320 was bringing in a deluge of Clubcard Points, I needed something more frugal. In rolls a 2005 Audi A6 2.0 TDi. Dealer serviced from new & double the MPG. Sorted! 6 months in I questioned the whole manual gearbox thing. Clutch down...

    MOT Failure

    My 2001 S Class 3.2 (petrol) recently failed the MOT as the both rear suspension arm bushes/pins & a front anti-roll bar joint were excessively worn. I was surprised, as I had recently had a major service (& a new fan belt) which cost me over £600. The MOT work cost me another £335 (this...

    W220 Brakes

    Had my 2001 S320 for a few months now. Over the last couple of weeks I've noticed a change in the braking. Engine off - Pedal hard. Engine running - Pedal is softer, when I first brake & seems to travel a bit further than it did (certainly not all the way down). Periodically, it's fine...

    Rear Ride Height

    Has the strut replaced with a pattern part, under warranty, but the mystery continues. The indy adjusted the height, so this is the current situation: 1. Overnight the corner with the new strut drops down very low (you can't get your hand in between the wheel & wheel arch). 2. When the car is...

    S320 (W220) Rear Ashtray Assembly

    It won't open & rattles a bit! I was hoping someone might know how I can free the catch, without taking the door apart. Cheers

    Anyone seen any good number plates on cars lately?

    A number plate wouldn't get my daughter to school & me too work! But thanks for stating the bloody obvious. Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

    Anyone seen any good number plates on cars lately?

    I don't get the whole cherished/personalised number plate thing. Spending good money on a plate that looks a bit like another word is bloody daft!

    Rear Ride Height

    Had it tested. Compressor is fine, strut is fine. Possibly a height sensor problem or minor leak. Taking it to an indy, in Friday (SS Motors in Addlestone) Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

    Rear Ride Height

    The rear height (ground to wheel arch - through centre of the wheel) is just under 1" lower than the front, on my 2001 S320. All struts replaced less than a year ago, by the previous owner. Height Raise function works fine. Can it be adjusted, or is it OK/within the normal range?

    how do i set the clock on a 54 plate c270

    I had the same problem, in that the binnacle was replaced & the ECU 'didn't know'. Upshot was no 'clock change' menu.

    Bought my first s 320 , nice clean car , dec 2005 full history 90000 mls

    Nice one! Just bought a 2001 S320 93k. I love it! In great condition, with no rust on the arches & it had the suspension struts replace last year. Looks like it's been really well looked after.
