    What is this??

    Hi all, was doing a couple of 'clean-up' jobs in the boot of my 211 today and came across this. It's the yellow object (a foam covering for a plastic box!) located on the left hand side behind the trim. I have no idea what it is or what it does - anybody? Just to re-iterate, I have an E320...

    Hi all, am asking this question - are any of the panels in the 211 (pre-facelift) made of aluminium? The reason I ask is that on close inspection of the inside of my bootlid, I noticed some bubbling paint. Wanting to nip this is in the bud, I scratched back the paint and was confronted...

    Hello all, well, if you're even the slightest intrigued by 'who's done it again?' then I will tell! Long story short, my E320 has been continually going into limp mode for some time. I have been changing bits here and there, including MAF, MAP & finally turbo to no avail and eventually got...

    Thank You
