Hi all, I had a 'Service A due in x miles' for a while, so in between saving up and finding time to take it in, it exceeded the 'due in' amount of miles. So I finally got it quoted and booked in (exceeded by 200 miles) and had to make a long trip, and now it says 'Service B exceeded by 800...

Hi all, I've just got the duplicate service book for my C220 and am confused with what is meant to be due and when! Am I right in thinking that the car is going to tell me when it needs to go in for a service? At the moment it is saying A service due in 2100 miles, but in the service book it...

Good morning everyone… I know I have touched on this before but I still don’t seem to have any real pointers. I am still confused by the way the external lighting works on my W220 Sclass, it something that I have not been able to answer so far. Basically the headlamps work when the keys are...

Here's hoping that someone knows and can help..... In my 2002 W210 E320CDi there's a phone cradle fitted just left of the main console. I call it "the phone on a stick." The phone holder etc. looks to be a proper Mercedes part. Tried enquiring of the previous owner which phone he had fitted...

I posted a thread 3 weeks ago asking advice on my E320 ( 2000 Model ) auto gearbox. The problem with it is it misses a gear somtimes when you accelerate it kicksdown and goes into nothing and the engine hits the rev limiter. This has happened 5 times over 50000 miles ( the car has now done...
