e240

I need a new set of tyres. The original P6000's fitted to my 2001 E240 are a bit flakey! I don't drive fast, but I do a fair mileage on motorways. I use the Tyre Reviews site and they really seem to rate the Falkens; Falken ZE914 | the Falken ZE914 reviewed and rated | the online tyre guide...

Hi, As in the title but here's a bit of history. Driving normally (on way to a funeral of all places), and I get warnings for ABS, BAS and ESP come up all at the same time. I also notice that the gearbox is not now acting normally. I've had these warning intermittently previously when...

Looks a real bargain , might be of interest to someone here. Used Mercedes-benz E Class Estate E240 Avantgarde 5dr Tip Auto [2.6] in Iver Heath, Iver | R & W Motor Co (Gb) Ltd Tony

Came down the M11 today and decided to see what I could get out of the ol girl. 60 - 65 on the cruise, no traffic, 39.1 mpg - very respectable for a Panzer!

I don't have a switch on the dash to fold the rear view mirrors, so I tried doing it manually. The car is very low mileage and I don't think they have ever been folded in before. They feel very stiff and I'm not sure if they are even meant to fold in. Don't want to break one, can anyone advise...

hi every one i need to get a dipstick for auto gearbox can anyone help with part number thanks all :doh:

Just had the car serviced (A service) by our local garage Easterton Vehicles, I decided that as she's just passed 120k the atf and filter was also changed. Star diagnosis identified the brake switch as the cause of intermittent ESP/BAS warning lights and throttle hesitancy when moving off...

I last posted about the car on 8th June. Grober replied that a previous owner had probably swapped a "cheap" car radio for the original - I think that this is correct. Still, it is working and churning out some background music while I drive, so I can put up with that. Maybe E240 owners can...

Last week I part-exchanged my W126 300SE which I have had for ten years for a Mercedes E240 automatic. It has done 135K miles - is that OK? I have the service history, but there are a few little niggles which an E240 owner may be able to help me with. The original JVC radio has been exchanged...

Put the new car through an MOT test today all fine save 2 broken rear springs and rear shocks are leaking oil. So do I buy new MB quote for shocks currently £315 each plus £51 per spring plus fitting or look at second hand parts considering the age of the vehicle? Advice appreciated Thanks

Hi I've got a transmission oil leak. But it's appearing in the plastic tray under the engine pooling beneath the radiator. It looks like it is coming from under the engine and moving forward and collecting there. There is no oil leak under the gearbox itself. I am having to top up the...

Hi New to this site and MB's. I recently bought a 1999 E240 in good nick. Immaculate interior, 81,000 miles backed up by annual MOT slips from new. :thumb: However there are two faults I cannot cure despite checking fuses, bulbs, etc. 1. The reverse lights won't work. Bulbs are good, no...

I have a 2002 E240 Estate. All of a sudden my left indicator comes on! I cannot turn it off unless i take the fuse out. I switch to the right and thats fine. Also the hazard lights both work. Any ideas please. Cheers.

hi all I'am slowly loosing my reason with this car but hopefully i can get it back on track. I'am currently dealing with a suspected head gasket issue but this afternoon when I tried to start the car it took a number of turns before it caught and then the idle was really bad. I investigated...

Hi, after over five years of ownership and many reliable miles it is with great sadness I have decided to break my e240 for spares. The car is in very good condition with no rust in any of the panels but my engine became weak after a blocked oil way that led to flooding the top of the engine...
