Did around 300 dual carriageway miles yesterday and got overtaken by a 2012 E 220 cdi saloon. Followed it for a few miles and noticed it's pick up was almost as quick as our 07 E 320 cdi Estate. I had a loan of a standard E250cdi sport saloon car for a week and know that that was not as swift in...

I know nothing about this, but would like a bit more go. I appreciate a diesels torque and any possible improvement on fuel consumption would be a bonus. So without hijacking the other thread on remapping (or chipping if it's possible) would appreciate some information. Please forgive any...

Apart from checking levels under the bonnet I have not attempted any maintenance as yet. I have noticed that on the inner front wheel arches next to the top suspension mounts there are what appears to be air valves. Does this mean that my estate 2007 320cdi has air suspension or do these valves...

My 320 cdi is at the dealers having an extortionate repair mainly due to the cost of the main dealer labour charge. There aren't that many options up here. I've asked for all the origional parts be returned to me. Hopefully I'll get the bits from my car returned. I'm hoping that the stepper...

Ok, MB service department has phoned up to say that my loss of power with Star diagnosing a faulty oxygen sensor is supposedly a stepper motor oil contamination problem. Cost £1106.34:doh: Now the car (2007 E320cdi) has only done 32000 miles and until the sudden loss of power was perfect. Is...

My 2007 E320 is at the dealership awaiting an oxygen sensor and I have a nice new E250cdi hire/courtesy car until the repair is complete. Interestingly since I do the same 50 mile trip in the 2007 320 often enough I know what kind of fuel consumption the bigger and older car achieves and was...

Recently had my 07 E320cdi on star after an engine diagnostic light came on and car went into limp home mode. Light now turned off but I know that the problem may well resurface and I would like to preempt the problem by buying the part. Am I better going to MB directly or is aftermarket...

Just had the motor go into limp home mode and having had to go somewhere did the round trip of 40 miles. For the first 20 miles the engine diagnostic light did not come on (although there was little power) but after leaving my appointment the light did not go off on restarting the motor for the...

Free insulation on offer again and having a stupidly large pad with commensurately large Council Tax bill thought it time to get something back from the Council (who fund it) so three weeks ago made appointment with approved contractor to visit for measure up. Bloke turns up late and one hour...

I'm still thinking that I am missing something and that a 2007 E class should have a system at least as good as a basic Tom Tom, and yet all I can plumb in into the navigation is the first 5 letters and numbers and not the full 7 required for a postcode. I do appreciate that in town you are then...

Hi, I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction to keep herself happy. She requires to know what type of lead she needs to connect her Iphone 4 to the aux port in the glove box. Hopefully with your kind advice I can find the required wire + connectors off ebay and peace...

Now had my Jersey import E class 320cdi estate on the road for a month and enjoyed every moment. Thanks to all for the advice given prior to purchase. I'm still working my way around Comand and can say the only disappointment is the sat Nav which would have benefited from some input from one...

I've been studying an earlier thread on 211 wing mirrors which seem a little different (2003/4) to my 2007 estate version. I'm looking to replace a cracked indicator and wondered if anyone here has done the job and has any advice about getting the painted cover off. TIA Godfrey

Still awaiting paperwork to reregister car but wonder what's involved in pairing a couple of phones to the car. It's a 2007 E class with Comand. It has telephone on the screen and the buttons on the steering wheel but I'm unable to pair my basic mobile or my wifes' iphonne. Is it likely that it...

I'm still awaiting for a certificate of conformity to re-register my car for the UK , but as the emissions stats will be on that doc do not know what the road tax liability will be. Can anyone enlighten me please? The car is a 2007 320 cdi E class estate with 7 speed auto. I'm assuming it's...

On another forum I visit there is a tanker driver who is very credible that says that when he collects fuel in his tanker it just comes from two outlets ie premium grade and basic, and that BP,shell, Texaco etc take from the same taps that he does and that he as an unbranded tanker delivers to...

Just had my previously immaculate 211 estate MOTed in Hampshire before traillering said car up north before UK registration. When the car came out of MOT station it had a ding in the passenger front door immediately in front of the door handle. :doh:The garage of course denied that they were...

Hi all, I would like insurance to import a car from Jersey channel Islands. I need first to MOT car (before reregistering it)and take home. As the car will temporarily be on a J plate I understand that it is neccessary to insure it on it's VIN. All registration forms, mot certificate, and...

Please excuse the possibly daft question as I haven't owned a Mercedes since my 1986 230 estate which did get a bit of corrosion under the bonnet. I thought I saw somewhere that newer cars have galvanised panels and an incredible length of warranty. Can anyone elaborate on this and tell me...

Hi all, The import fun continues. I understand that DVLA before reregistering an import requires one or all of the above certificates and won't accept all the stickers on the car or on a foreign registration document giving a type approval number. Without the paperwork the car has to go...
