Hi all, Had been looking to upgrade my 66 plate X5 40d with a 2018 X5M F85 but have had my head turned by the GLC 63S. I have a few questions that hopefully I can find the answers to.... 1) When did the GLC 63 have ppf’s fitted? With my 2019 M5 it was any built post Aug 2018, so wondered if...

OEM Nachi Bearing 45BG07S5A1G-2DL, originally bought for my W211 E55 but never got round to fitting it before selling. Now moving house and need to get rid of some stuff. New, original box with seals still on. I believe this will fit the W210 & W211 E55's, the S55 W220, the SL55 R230 and the...

Any A45 owners on here can help me out? What are the typical costs for pads/discs etc for these? From both MB directly and also alternative suppliers such as ECP etc? ECP don't seem to have anything for the A45 at the moment, just after an idea of potential costs for some wear and tear...

·2004/54 Silver E55 AMG, 104k miles, I am 4th owner · Price is £9,495 ·FMBSH – huge amount of paperwork (one of reasons why I bought it, with every receipt from Mercedes ,previous owner made special file and kept everything so I followed suit) ·Brand new 12 months MOT no advisories (27th October...

Hi all My drivers side bulb was on its way out so I have purchased 2 (expensive!)new DS2 replacements for my 54 plate E55. Halfords had refused to sell me them unless I paid for fitting which I said no thanks. Then I read about voltage issues and potential death :fail. Hence this post...

Perhaps silly question but what headlights does my 54 plate E55 W211 AMG have.... Is it a simple answer or do I have to go outside and check :D

Hi all Was shown this Mercedes iPod kit for E, CLS (W211/W219) | Mercedes iPod solutions | Mercedes Retrofits | Comand Online Ltd and wanted to check a few things. My 2005 E55 doesn't have a built in Merc phone system, instead it has a parrot system. It doesn't have any iPod...

Hi all With the purchase of a diesel for a 2nd car the E55 no longer is used at all during the week. Also with the weather how it is I have been garaging her and so use is limited to a 30-45min run out on a Sunday afternoon. She fires up fine but can tell there is some reluctance from...

Hi all When cleaning my car I caught the plastic handle you pull to enable you to open the bonnet (not the bonnet release inside car). It snapped the plastic so wondering if there is a replacement for the plastic pull handle or I need to replace the whole unit. Anyone know part number...

Due to recent job promotion that involves now a 60 mile round trip couple of times a week I had toyed with the idea of selling the E55 and getting a modern quick diesel (335d etc). But I have realised I don't want to sell the E55 and so have convinced the wife we need a second car. So...

Quick query, might be stupid question but thought i'd clarify - bought some genuine MB front pads from ebay from Stratmerc and also some read pagid ones from ECP. Noticed in some threads it mentions the need to replace the brake pad wear sensors when replacing pads. Checking ECP site they only...

Swore I wouldn't do this, but suppose, just suppose I wanted to look at bit of extra noise from the V8 - what exhaust options do I have? I have gone into this blind and will search I promise but I'm not even sure no. of cats and the setup of the exhaust system on the W211 E55 AMG. Are there...

Hi all Just a quick query to gauge costs elsewhere but one of my 2 local Merc main dealers has quoted me £420 for a B service which was explained to be oil and filter change and extra checks. Spark Plugs, V-Belt etc all changed within last 18 months so not needed and neither is air or brake...

Cleaned the car today, poor thing isn't used much at moment. Wife 2 days overdue so figured I may not get another opportunity for a while. Quick wash and then off with my new toy (Canon 1100d) to take some pics.

Hi all Noticed lately that when accelerating (and more so when car is cold) at around 1800-2000 revs the car jerks or stutters slightly. This is only at low revs and happens when cold. This has definitely only developed very recently and also occurs in both sport and manual mode. The only...

Below are some pictures of my recently acquired E55 after the 1 day of sunshine in West Wales in last 3 months......... Also as you can see, thanks to KillHertz for the LEDs i have replaced the oem side and rear plate lights. Didnt realise how bad this looked until I...

I know they are big brakes and expensive to replace but the stopping power of my E55 AMG yesterday to potentially save my life (and itself) was crazily good! Another car swerved out in front of us, and I mean just in front - any later and he would have hit me. We were doing around 65-70mph...

Hi all I have a query regarding my comand unit in the e55 amg (w211). I don't seem to be be able to play mp3's and found out about the secret menu to enable it along with region free DVD's. However the sequence to get into the menu doesn't work for me but in engineering mode I notice I...

Hi all Spent tonight looking through the A4 folder (with pic of car on it) from previous owner of car before the trader had it. Every receipt for everything (90% done at MB inc tyres, seals, wipers etc) means probably around 200 pieces of paper in there. I spent a bit of time reading the...

Thought i'd post up some pics of the car I eventually bought. They arent great (stolen from ad) and havent had chance to take some new ones yet. Loving the car - 4hr journey home it was effortless and amazing all rolled into one :rock: Big thanks to all the help I got on here - SPX, Savman...
