false

Newbie alert! :) My 2012 (212) E-class has a problem with the PARKTRONIC, the front end (usually just the driver's side, sometimes both sides) gives false positives. It started out as an intermittent problem, mainly in wet weather, but has gradually got worse and is now pretty much constant...

My 2003 W220 S500L seems to have developed a problem with the alarm, or maybe the boot catch, which is triggering the alarm. A couple of days ago I left the headlights on accidentally for an hour or so. This was after nearly a week of not running and it drained the battery just enough to...

I have had this through on an email a long time ago and it surfaced again today. So with the wealth of knowledge amongst forum members I though I would post it to find out if all or some of it is true or not. I do think the second point would be very useful, if true. 4 THINGS YOU...

Girlie should be getting a christmas bonus soon and she wants to change her car, the early W202 250TD for example in a low spec has fallen into her price bracket, is this what the car is worth or are these a money pit, I know some members swear by their trusty old 202, are they this good? what...

After the other day I'm left wondering whether owning and driving a prestige car is not healthy for certain individuals. I was tootling along (70-75mph) the M18 the other day, traffic was busy, road conditions good, visability good. I was in the left lane, occasionally having to overtake...

Took my E 211 to the local dealer to report a faulty front parktronic system. Pulling up to T junctions/roundabouts etc with no obstacles ahead the front markers (occasionally) go directly to 2+2 reds (no oranges) and the whistle. Strange thing is it only seemed to happen in bright sunshine...
