I am considering a basic W211 E500 to run as a daily driver.
Does any member have this particular model ? :dk:
I am not interested in E55/AMG or later models for my purpose. :thumb:
I'm shortly going to put my SL up for sale as I no longer have a garage to keep it in.
I've been looking in the normal places trying to gauge the current market but the prices are all over the place and i'm struggling to know what I should be putting it up for. Whats making it tricky is a...
How safe is it to share the cig lighters power with my car stereo 12v ignition power without an additional fuse.
Am I correct in thinking that the 12v ignition (red wire) is effectively like a remote turn on lead on an amp and therefore the current draw is very little.
And the constant...
I have to say I'm pretty disappointed by the current Mercedes range in terms of styling. The only current model I like is the C Class Saloon AMG Sport model, A Class and CLS AMG Sport. The new E Class Sport is growing on me but I still think the previous face lifted E Class is smarter. The new...
As the title says. I have recently bought my new e350 and this came with a bootliner. For Christmas I was bought a boot liner so I have a spare one sat around. If anyone is interested let me know.
They are large so posting could be an issue

I bought a car about 6 weeks ago from a private trader and still haven't received the new log book. He says he posted it straight away and I have no reason to doubt that. On the DVLA website it says it should arrive in 4 weeks but to wait for at least 6 before contacting them.
Should I...
When i purchased my car the phone in the center console does not seem to switch on and charge, the car is STILL giving the message "Tel Error - Tel not plugged in", .
So just ran a diagnostic via STAR on it and these are the 2 codes its come up with.

Hi all,
Slightly off MB topic, but I have decided I think I need to fit an alarm of some kind one of my other cars.
Not interested in anything too flashy.
I seem to recall years ago having an alarm on another car that simply connected to the battery and if it detected a current drain...
Hi folks, nice to see a forum with a dedicated detailing section....
I have recently taken on the transformation of a w168 a class A140.
My last car got vandalised (mk1 Citroen xm) so I sold it on to an enthusiast to fix back up, and started to look for a new project and family hack...
Hi All
just thought i would throw this out there and see what the forum thinks
I've been a big fan of the W124 for a long time (as many of us are) especially in cabriolet version
I've seen a bit of a hike over the years in prices with good ones asking 20k plus
however a quick...
I have a 2015 E220 Bluetec and wonder if it is possible to get the Sat Nav to display the current road speed limit.
I have not been able to find it in the available menus, but perhaps it is set via a different route.
Any thoughts or advise please.

My car regularly goes a week without being used and I like to look after the battery with a weekly top up charge which is taking several hours.
I've seen it suggested that the quiescent current draw could be as much as 50mA which would be 8.4 Ah per week.
50mA...
I went for a test drive yesterday in a E Class estate se.
I did like the car and the very competitive monthly payments (£50 a month less than the Jaguar Sportbrake)
But, the only niggle I had was the drivers seat, I just didn't seem to get it right, and it felt as though I was sitting...
Has anyone seen this?
It struck me as extremely amateur. It's a screen split into 4 or more sections each showing a moving W205 from different angles with the finance details shown below.
I genuinely thought it was going to be a low-rent ad for a local leasing company and was surprised to...
