    The front window trim on my Sclass is discoloured and milky looking, so I bought replacements and a trim removal tool. Does anyone know how to remove and if the wing mirror cover needs to come off first? Many thanks, James

    How to replace V-Class headlamp unit?

    Hi, Just bought a ridiculously expensive replacement headlamp. Does anyone have experience, or know where I can find instructions how to replace it on a V-Class. If it involves taking off the bumper I'll leave it to the garage but if its simple I'm up for the job.

    Decent alternative to hozelock attachments?

    Whenever I use my nilfisk jet wash, the hose attachments disconnect from the tap or the connection at the hose reel after a couple of minutes of use.

    Hi, Bought a replacement ashtray and cup holder but not sure how to remove the old one. I see one screw which I guess removes the surround. Do I need to take that out or can I just yank out the old ashtray?

    W639 Viano door seals

    Hi guys, Is there any kind of door seal I can put round the front doors to quieten it, so that it sounds more like a car door closing than a van. Does the Viano have anything fitted as standard or is it the same as the Vito doors? Cheers James
