Hi all, Later in the year we will be selling our trusty 2005 E270 S211, needing to tow a twin axle caravan I did consider the unthinkable and looked at the Range Rover L322 V8 diesel, but reading the many horror stories I have come to my senses and will be going for a 2011 or 2012 S212, while...

Hi, I noticed today that the passenger side headlamp (Dipped Beam) has turned purple on my 2005 E270 S211 Estate, I think it has the Bi Xenon lamps fitted, is this a simple bulb change to cure or something more expensive

Hi all, Popped to the Supermarket the other day and the engine sounded like a load of bolts being shook in a biscuit tin, popped the bonnet but the light was fading,so could not get the best look, but when you stand in front of the car the top pully is I think the power steering pump, but the...

A lot of people only tend to post when they have a problem so thought I would add a positive side to the forum of my life with my 05 S211 E27. I will try not to send you to sleep :D. I had always wanted an E Class Estate and like to buy older cars as I can look after them myself, in my price...

Hi all, The last few drives when going down our 1/4 mile farm track the throttle seems to stick at around 1250 rpm, its more noticable from cold, went to the local supermarket so engine fully warmed up and it did the same thing causing a really harsh and jerky down change, I assume this is a fly...

I have tried the search but found no obvious answer, I have just swapped all the filters and oil in my E270 W211 and used quality Mobil 1 oil, some forum posts I have seen change the oil at 5000 miles, the car says somthing like 12,000 miles and I was going to change it every 10 to 12k. When in...

Morning all, Just been on a 40 mile round trip in my 2005 E270 Estate W211, I notice the engine temp barely gets above 60C, in my memory I'm pretty sure they are supposed to run around 90C, so take it my thermostat is goosed? My question is does it have to be a genuine replacement or will the...

Since I have been the owner of our Helga 2005 E270 cdi Estate W211, the clock has been stuck on 12.10, I tried setting the time and date via the setting menu still nothing, all the rest of the dash works as the clever peeps at Mercedes Benz intended, checked all the fuses I know of, under the...

The load cover on my W211 is missing one of the locating pins that run in the track either side of the tailgate, any one found a suitable bodge to fix this or is it a trip to the stealers or breakers yard?

Took delivery of my iCarsoft MB V 2.0 Scanner Yesterday, just scanned it as the ABS light is on, I got the following codes/messages: 056 S9/1 (Brake Light Switch), normally open contact and in a box next to this message it says AUS P2402 State: Historic The left rear wheel rpm signal sent from...

Hi Again, Is there anyway you can get Mercedes to give you the historical records of your car, such as service work recalls etc, don't mind paying and may make interesting reading, any pointers would be great, so thanks in advance

Hi All, Just noticed the postman had delivered my new iCarsoft MB V 2.0, updated the software and set it to work to clear my abs light on problem, as its the first time I have ever used a diagnostic tool it may be pilot error but it showed fault in all ABS sensors, cleared all codes, drove down...

Hi, I have just bought a 2005 W211 Estate, not sure if they all have an auto load cover, but the bar that you locate in either side of the tailgate has a spring loaded plastic bit that locates it in the runner, one side of mine is not there and idea on what I need to search for and the official...

Seen as I missed out on the bulk buy of the iCarsoft CR Pro, does anyone want to sell one or the MB V 2.0 before I buy new?

I did a quick search on car fault scanners but never got my answer. As I intend my next few cars to be Mercs thought best to get myself a good code scanner, doing some research iCarsoft seem pretty well thought of, bit put off by some comments about customer support, but I have widdled it down...

Hi all,# After a few years of Volvo, I fancy a return to the Mercedes, I love practising bangernomics so tend to go for older cheaper higher mile cars, so whats best got to be another Mercedes, I'm looking for either an 04 Mercedes E Class 320 cdi Estate, or if funds permit the more sorted 07...

Joined a while back when I had an ML270 that had a gearbox fault, just thought I had bought an 07 E class but the supposed car was a dog with lots of warning lights on the dash, just goes to show the camera does lie lol, but after 6 years of Volvo ownership trying to come back to the fold and...

Hi, Just bought a 51 plate ML 270 CDI, a couple of problems have reared there head, the hassle is the central locking will not work, if you lock the drivers door with the ignition key it only locks the drivers door. I have had a look at the main fusebox under the bonnet all the fuses are all...

Hi all, Having just written off the Mrs CLK320 Convertable in France, I need to find a replacement. As we run a pub and need some load space,we are considering a C class 270CDI or may be the e class, it will also need to be good at towing for our large caravan. I know of the black death and...
