Hi, I am thinking of 'chipping' my E320CDI. There are various companies claiming various improvements such as THESE guys and THESE too. However, there is nothing like experience so I would be very interested if anyone can give first hand experience. Many thanks!

Hi All, Our W210 AG Instrument Pod has problems with both side LCD displays. Sections of the LCD matrices are not working so full characters are not displayed. This in turn, turns the time, temperature and gear indicator info into meaningless hieroglyphics. Oh what fun we had playing the...

Hi All, I have a W210 Avant Gard estate that came fitted with 17" wheels (see my sig pic). I am looking at replacing them with W211 8Jx17H2 ET38 wheels I have been offered by a local breaker. Will they fit? He says they are interchangeable but I though I better check with you guys first...

Hi All, Our W210 320CDI has developed a strange intermittent fault. Whilst driving up the motorway at about 50MPH on Friday night I noticed that if I tried to accelerate to overtake, the car did not drop down a gear. If I put my foot down the revs did not rise immediately as normal, they only...

The headlights on my W210 seem very low since it came back from service. There is no dashboard control as these are Xenons so can anyone tell me how to adjust them please. Thanks, Boggie

Hi All, I need to have the wheels on our car refurbished. However, to do this properly I need to remove the wheels and send them away for a few days but we still need to use the car. We have been offered a set of new shape (W211) wheels to borrow but I need to know if they will fit our late...

Hi All, I'm planning to fit reversing sensors to our W210 Estate this week. From my searches on this forum I believe that there are sensor drilling points marked on its inside but does anyone know how I remove the bumper (7 seat model)? Can anyone tell me the best point to bring the sensor...

Hi All, I am fitting a phone kit to my W210, it has the Audio 10 head unit. Does anyone know which connector is the mute connector on the back of the unit please? Thanks!

Hi All, I have just bought stereo removal keys from Halfords but I can't get them to release the unit. They are the hooked ones, the same shape as the ones pictured bottom left of this picture: Do they look like the correct ones and if so is there a knack to it? This is my type of head...

Hi All, I have a Parrot Bluetooth CK3000 (NOT the evolution) handsfree and want to fit it to my W210 (non-satnav). The Parrot instructions are not very clear HERE. I fitted one to an Audi with BOSE sound some years back and it was a bit of a pain so I am hoping that the Merc will be easier...

Hi All, We have a 210 estate that has no parking sensors so I want to fit an aftermarket kit to the car. I assume that getting the genuine MB retro fitted will be expensive? If that is the case can anyone recommend a good aftermarket kit? Many thanks, Boggie

Hi All, Anyone heard of or tried one of THESE I know Ebay is full of people selling fancy packaged 10p resistors to idiots in the pursuit of cheap power which result in an increase only in fuel consumption and hydrocarbon output. However according to the pigeon English description this is a...

Hi All, I just got the RAC report on the car we are planning to buy. It lists a few problems, most are minor such as scuffed wheels, stone chip in screen, small crack in wheel arch liner etc. There are a couple of parts missing: Small grille next to front fog light, drivers side sill tread...

Hi All, As a newbie to all this, I have a question: What are the terms of the Mobilo Bodywork Warranty? After reading the posts on here I am confused. I am in the process of buying a 2002 W210 E320CDi AG Est, it has covered 42K and has a full Merc History. Will any rust be covered? Obviously...

Hi All, Please can someone tell me where the VIN and engine numbers can be found. I presume there will be the usual tin plate under the bonnet with the VIN but where else can it be checked? Also which side of the engine is its number stamped and is it easy to see? Many thanks, Boggie

This evening on the way home I was waiting to enter a roundabout at the A40 / M40 junction. I was in the middle lane going straight on when some a$$hole in a dark C Class Merc saloon came down the LH lane at speed and tried to turn right just as we set off. He slammed into my passenger side then...

Hi All, Can anyone tell me if the early current shape C-Class estate had curtain airbags fitted to protect against Range Rover T bone intrusion etc? My Wife wants me to replace the Volvo and she likes the C Class but I want to be sure it will protect her and our daughter in side impact. We are...

Hello All, My wife and I recently took delivery of our first baby girl and as part of an agreement between us to allow me to keep our 2 very impractical cars I had to buy her an estate car to carry the baby and associated accessories. She left the choice up to me. So I bought a Turbo Diesel...
