    W211 Rear tow hook cover

    Despite the little safety cord I must have shed my rear bumper tow hook cover sometime during the week - does anyone know the part number for a pre-facelift 2003 W211 E220 Avantgarde? A quick glance at some other MBs on the road today suggests they all look alike but I'm guessing that the...

    W211 Roof Strip

    The offside roof strip (the one that runs front-to-back wit the points for attaching a roof rack) has suddenly decided to lift at the back of the E220. It looks for all the world as if some kind of clip has failed but I can see anything broken. It just obstinately refuses to go back down and...

    Orange Email: access-denied

    Does anyone know if Orange have started blocking access to their email servers from other ISP's :confused: ? Like many people I've kept the email address from my original Freeserve dial-up account and up until yesterday could access their mail server from my Broadband ISP. Although I can...

    Try these for example: http://www.amazon.co.uk:80/gp/cdp/member-reviews/A3QHW2LEQMWGUB It's like reading the late Humphrey Lyttleton's introductions to, "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue" or perhaps it's just me.... ;) :D

    COMAND DVD condensation - cause for concern?

    Pulled away this afternoon and glanced down to where the map should be but instead a message telling me no disk was inserted. Assumed I must have knocked the eject button somehow while in the boot so just thought I'd have to replace the disk in the drive at the end of the journey but when...

    Apologies if this seems very techie but basically Microsoft have released an update for their Office package, a side effect of which is that it will no longer open files created in older version of Word written by err.. oh yes, Microsoft. The blocking is intentional :mad: Anyone considering...

    Bleeping COMAND

    For the past week when I start the E-Class once COMAND has launched and the map screen is fully drawn I get four or five beeps out of the speakers. No other display, no warning messages, no errors displayed on the headunit or cluster. Only happens once the car has been standing for a few...
