confusion

I have recently aquired a 2007 E class. It has what I think is an NTG1 stereo; single CD slot with integrated 6 Disc changer underneath and a matrix display. In the armrest flap bits, it has what I presume is a Nokia phone kit (it has a pair of curly leads each side in the arm rest part). Now my...

Hi. Can anyone point me in a right direction.been all over internet and online shop selling tyres giving different size compare to charts. I've looked online and so far best tyre size for my alloys: 20x8.5J ET35 255/35/20 (245/30/20 in online shop) 20X10J ET35 275/35/20 or 275/40/20 or...

I've searched on here and google what oil to put in my 56 plate 07 s211 E320, I've settled on mobil 1esp oil but bit confused on viscosity, either 0w 40 or 5w 30, I'm thinking it's 5w 30 but could anyone confirm this please, car is on 166000 miles if that makes any difference, thanks

I'm getting very confused over the battery set up on my new SL350, 55 plate, or to be more specific, the maintenance of the batteries. I know it has a battery in the boot and 1 under the bonnet but which is the starter and which is the accessories? The dealer says that I should put the C-Tek...

\hi just got a s320 cdi and noticed that the interior light on the door, steering wheel and indicators flash on and off IF i try to get high beam it flashes aka police style? any help and pointers where to start, also looking for someone in glasgow with star to help me. thanks and happy...

So this is probably going to end up being a dumb question, but I'll ask anyway. I have a 2012 W204 Estate with Start/Stop. Presumably this means that I have 2 batteries (i've only found the one in the boot at the moment - I can't see one under the bonnet yet). Anyhow, I am looking at getting a...

Either my car or myself is confused. Perhaps both. The interior light in my recently bought S210 E240 seems to be operating incorrectly. When the doors are opened, or indeed unlocked, the lights come on. However, rather than diffused lights it's the reading spot lamps. This both front and...

Hi, I've got a some fault codes indicating a dodgy NOX sensor. Two relate to the upstream sensor, and one relates to the downstream one. A search on this site suggests the upstream one is more often replaced. The parts diagrams at Mercedes Benz Teile shows that the NOX sensor used to be...

Hi i'm looking for some guidance regarding SatNav's i'm very confused as to what all the descriptions mean, could somebody please precis some of the descriptions I've seen. I'm presuming that some of them have the hardware but need additional software or am I looking into it too deeply. Thanks...

I'm a little baffled and wonder if anyone could shed some light on the following: My W212 has Assyst Plus and two days ago the display told me a B3 service is due in 40 days. I haven't driven the car since and tonight it's telling me it needs an A6 service in 40 days?? Any idea why the days...

Hello all! I just got my car and decided to change the Fog lights from the standard yellow ones, to LED fog lights. My car comes equipped with Bi-xenon headlights and cornering fog lamp; according to the manual, cars that come with this feature with the fog lights, use H7 instead of HB4...

Hi all, New to MB ownership (bought a 06 CLS 320cdi yesterday!) and new to the forum, so please be gentle!!!. Used search, but cant find anything with regards to what i'm experiencing. Im trying to connect my phone (HTC M8) to the car. I have a puck already fitted in the armrest (slivery star...

Hi. I have a W203 2006 facelift that I am trying to install a CD changer in. I purchased a changer that came with cables but that was from a pre facelift car. The trouble I have is the changer audio and power cable are different to the ones on my audio 20 head unit. The power cable is 2 pin on...

I had a problem with my indicator recently and decided to change the the light cluster on the nearside, pretty simply to remove. But when i went to put the replacement on i realised it was different! mainly to the point of having only 1 connection point where as the original had 2. Now i tried...

Hi all. I have been really enjoying my time with my CLK, apart from the inevitable electrical problems... For a joke my friend typed my registration number into a HPI checking website, but we noticed the website thought my car, clearly badged as a CLK 200K was a CLK 230K. Abit confused, I...

Hi Folks, My brake light bulb has failed, so I went and got a new one from Halfords (380) and an independent, but neither fit. The original has slightly different locator pin distances on the body, but all the new ones that claim to fit, don't fit! Has anyone else encountered this problem...

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at all this dithering; one minute there's talk of a higher 80mph limit, now this... BBC News - 60mph speed limit proposal for stretch of M1 motorway

Hi all, after some pointers on how not to lose my mind with my insurance company! Before I put a deposit down on my new E63, I got an online quote from a price comparison website underwritten by my current insurer. Not surprisingly they came out the cheapest, £630 ish, right I thought i'll put...

I am of an age where my eyesight and night vision is not as good as it used to be so every little helps when it comes to illuminating the road at night. Could someone kindly enlighten me (not a joke!) about headlights (or provide web link to somewhere I could enlighten myself)? I had bi-xenons...

Hi, My 2005 ML has (I think) an NTG2 command unit. It has buttons down each side of the screen and the telephone answer buttons are below the screen. Is this an NTG2?? In the serv settings it has blue tooth and I can't get into the engineers menu using the system, Lang.mand three button...
