Can this feature be retro fitted to a W211 estate?

alright peeps, im mirror polishing my alloys, i stripped one using nitromors but it hardly touched the powdercoating and i ended up sanding it off and took me days and days just to do one wheel and cant really be bothered to do the same with the other 3. ive heard sand blasting is no good if...

I was just looking at my option codes and wondered if this meant that my nearside mirror should dip when I select reverse or whether it meant something else.

Hi all, I have a self dipping rear view mirror in my A124. I'd like one in the 190E, would it be the same fitment as a W124 saloon? I know the Cab is different, but same period Mercs seem to use a lot of the same fittings through the range. I could sort the electrics through the interior lamp if...

I am going to collect my 2003 W203 Coupe (pre face lift) next wednesday and I am all excited :D. It is a decent spec but I am trying to find out if it has folding mirrors and or dipping mirrors. I dont 'need' them but it would be nice to know if it has them and where the switches are. Any...

I have a E coupe (which I love) and have noticed it has self dipping headlights on it. When a car comes towards you the headlights dip and then go back to full beam after the car has passed. It works very well in my estimation, you have a job to fault it. Only thing is it wont work below...

Is it correct that when you dip the oil in the auto box, that it should be warmed up & engine running ?

any know common faults on these? when i select it from the dash computer only the near side mirror dips when reverse is engaged, but it dips to the wrong place and then stays there when i drive forward?

The left hand side wing mirror in my CLK55 dips on selection of reverse gear, as it is supposed to. However, it doesn't return to the previous position when selecting drive. I can sometimes hear the motors operating but it doesn't move. It does return to the previous position by using the...

I have a W203 Avantgarde SE 2006 model, which I'm sure comes with auto dipping rear view and drivers door mirrors. The rear view mirror has a sensor in the bottom middle of the glass, so all seems well? How do I test it to see if it works? I've tried shining my Ultra LED torch in to the...

Hi I have a 1990 W129 300SL which has UK spec Headlights (dip to left) - I am moving home to France and need to convert the headlights for continental use (dip to right). Will this require a change of headlight units or can it be achieved mechanically? (the headlight dipping on my Volvo can be...

Hi all, As you may know Fiona and I are restoring a Moggie 1000, well we have decided if a jobs worth doing, its worth doing well so am looking for anyone with opinions or connections with the Sand blasting or acid dipping treatments. All advice very welcome. Cheers Mark

Can anyone tell me how to check that this is working? I have been trying to see when it dips but cannot see it working. Should it happen quickly when a car follows you with headlights on. Can it be turned off? Any info on testing would be apprieciated......thanks

The "fluid" in my auto-dipping door mirror is no longer covering the entire surface. Is there a sensible place to get a replacement glass? MB want £250 to replace it (£187 for the part) Where, in general, is the best alternative parts supplier? Cheers Richard

Well only one:confused: If I have the nearside mirror selected on the adjustment switch inside the car and put the car in reverse, the mirror dips to show the ground somewhere near the rear wheel. When the switch is on the off side, nothing happens. What is going on? I've only had the car 6...

Can anybody help? In my manual it tells me that is possible to have the nearside door mirror dip when revers is engaged. There is an asterisk which makes me think that I may need to have selected some accessory. Do I need an option/accessory? Can I retrofit? I have a '04 E270 Avantgarde...
