The ESP failed yesterday on my late 2006 W211 E280 Sport saloon. Also the cruise and tyre pressure warning system have failed as they are linked.
Any ideas what it may be?

Hi All,
I bought a lovely 2005 W211 E320cdi a while ago and due to family reasons, had to store it for a few months without using it.
Now I want to use it and have a faulty o/s xenon headlamp (low/dip beam). The nearside is fine.
I changed the bulb to no avail and then changed the balast over...

Hi guys
Wonder if anyone can help, I’m pretty much sure I have an issue with my crank position senor as my car has been showing all the signs of one playing up. This post seems to confirm the issue:

Have a pre facelift W203 coupé (03 reg) and the radio wont work any more (very poor reception) and the display is illuminating most of the symbols and it's difficult to read. I believe it's an audio 10 with 6 disc changer in glove box.
Not bothered about sat nav but would like to replace the cd...

Hi Guys,
it looks like my Parking Sensor Parktronic ECU on my 05 cdi270 estate has died, I have had it on the machine and the parking sensors are ok, but when you hit the button too turn it on they just go straight to two red lights,
so where is the unit located and does anyone have one...
My car has just had the downstream O2 sensor renewed as STAR said it had failed its test but the upstream was okay.
Just got back from the MOT and it failed on the fast idle test with:
CO 1.4 and 1.08%
Lambda 0.959 and 0.967
The natural idle was 0.49% so just passed.
Any pointers from you...
My 30 month old B-class (2011 - old style) torque converter in the auto gear box has failed. The car is done 28,000 miles. Thankfully Mercedes are repairing it under warranty.
This sounds expensive and has unsettled me a bit
Is this a known weakness on these cars? I think I will sell the...
My car is three years old tomorrow and today the rear parking sensor has failed again. I phoned the dealer and she said if I take it in tomorrow and they find it is an issue then it will be under warranty.
Still concerned though as they won't be fixing it tomorrow, do you think I will be OK on...

As per thread title. The engine in my car with 'Engineered by Mercedes-Benz' emblazoned upon it has been consuming oil at the rate of 0.5-0.7 litres / 500 miles for a while now and the suspicion has been it's gone the way of all smart Suprexes and is allowing it past the rings to burn. At this...
well after almost 2 months off the road and a full respray and new black amg 18" wheels and tyres i proudly took my beloved 1998 c250 mercedes to my local garage for its mot.

I drive home the other night (30 mile trip) with no problems. Parked up on the drive and let it for about 30 min before I needed to pop out. Tried to start the car and found the engine would turn over easily but failed to start. Tried a few minutes latter - the same. I plugged my ELM327 scanner...
Around half the time I am getting a malfunction message telling me that my front n/s front parking light has failed on my W209 CLK ...... When it hasn't !

Car in the garage for an MOT and has just failed on unbalanced front brakes.
MOT tester says however the cause of the imbalance is one of the brakes is "grabbing".
They will try to look at it this afternoon but I am impatient and wonder what the cause (and possible cost!) might be?
Car is...
