Update - light still on... Hi all, Since my last post, I had all 6 glow plugs changed (without having any fault codes read) but the problem has remained i.e. warning light comes and goes. We then hooked up the car to a laptop this weekend and after clearing all the stored faults codes, waited...

Thanks all. I spoke to a mate who is a mechanic and he told me not to bother paying £40 just to have the codes read. He reckons it is a failed glow plug too and he can test it with a meter to identify and replace just the faulty one(s). Prestige wanted to replace all of them for £250 and/or...

Just to clarify, regarding possible loose connection, it is not as if it flashes on and off. I meant it comes on for a while, then goes off. Most of my journeys tend to be pretty short (45 mins or so) and it now seems to come on daily a few minutes into the journey and stays on for a couple...

Thanks.Just had it service 7 weeks ago and forgot to mention it then but that was because it hadn't happened in a while so it slipped my mind. Does anyone here know of anywhere that I can get codes read in North/East London without resorting to MB? If not, I'll find a way somehow...

Hi all, I've had a bit of an issue with the preglow indicator on my 2009 CLS which seems to come on mid-journey now and then. The first time was after about 150 miles of a motorway journey had been done and it kep coming on/going off for the remainder of the journey (anoth 75 miles). It now...

Quick update - ALL SORTED! :) Didn't need to cut anything on the connectors in the end, I just used a flat screwdriver (very carefully) to loosen the black connector so that the white one would fit without the index tab or anything else having to be cut (use a screwdriver slightly bigger than...

Reviving an old thread for anyone who may search this at a later date...had all of this sorted by Mark/Richard at Unique Sounds/COMAND online when getting my media retrofit done. Reverse gear now working as it should i.e. Engaging when I select R rather than ages later! I think they just flashed...

Bloody ipad spellcheck...y'all know what I meant to write lol :)

Actually, no need to check that VIN. I was at my local MB dealership today where they have a ver good parts guy who looked it up for ma, apparently that is a grey one - looks beige to me, but there you go. Looks like it's the first one, as soon as I do a practice run with that spare wire...

Following on from the quick German lesson from Richard, I did a search in German and came across this one MERCEDES BENZ E 200-500 (W211) Innenspiegel - OM642.920 - Bj 2007 - 292860 km | eBay It looks to be the newer style with mic on top, judging by the white connector, which would save me the...

Thanks Richard. I can live with a 'fault' reading on the mic as long as it works - also prompt me to get to you guys quicker too. I was more concerned about the comment about the connector tab as my tabs are white and I don't want to risk messing the connector up, but then I remembered this...

Thanks Richard. The first one seems to have the same mic configuration as mine - mic in the top of the housing, those 'vents' look exactly the same - but my colour is 8J12 as per the second one. Incidentally, it seems to be the same item as the one you originally posted a few days back, just...

Obviously meant 'Nick' !!

Thanks Mick...typical, eh?! And anything about colour codes? I have asked them to confirm but independent verification is always good! ;)

Can anyone help with the other two VIN nos. at all i.e. did they come with auto-dimming and telephone pre-installed? They are both for sale with the same seller Richard linked to and at least one looks to be in a better condition. The actual eBay links are: MERCEDES BENZ E 200-500 (W211) rear...

Thanks for clarifying, Nick. Yes, I had noticed the £57 charge which is why I sought clarification from you, otherwise it could have been an expensive mistake! Have also asked them to confirm the code just to be on the safe sade - fingers crossed they come back with the same answer you gave -...

Thanks Smatt...no friendly local paintshops near me that I know of, unfortunately :(

Thanks Nick. Mine is 8J12 too (sticker shows this on one of the trim pieces around my current mirror), so look like the one!! Just to clarify, though, are you talking about the one that Richard originally mentioned, or one of the other 2 I mentioned later? Thanks for your help.

Also, any chance you could check the following two VINs? Same seller has a couple of other mirrors which may be suitable: WDB2110161A161264 -this might be grey, cant really tell WDB2112161A360835 - colour looks a better match Cheers.

Thanks Richard - you're absolutely right, it seems to be the mic. I thought it was something else because when I was at your place in Lightwater recently (well pleased with media retrofit and nav updates!! :bannana:), Mark suggested that the mic in my car was actually in the OCP - see round...
