Hello all. My ML has plastic covers on the back seats which pop out to reveal the 'hook in' device for the ISOFIX car seat mechanism, but my E Class does not. Am I missing something? Does this mean that the E isn't usable for the ISOFIX system? I will be gutted if it isn't compatible...

All, the speed needle on my E270 has always stopped at 25mph and on some occasions not moved at all! All that is now sorted thanks to a bit of super glue! Not sure whether you know, but the speed needle is actually controlled by gears behind the elegant housing and in my case, the large...

Out of no where my CLK displayed ESP/ABS/BAS errors and the engine management light is also on, as well as the fact the speedo didnt work. All these faults are intermittant and on/off about 50% of the time... exept for the engine management light which is constantly on. After a bit of googling...

...had some free time over the weekend! As you probably know, most of the W208 CLKs and the W210 models experience issues with the temp. and clock displays. I believe other models have the same problem. There is a simple reason for this. VDO are jerks and used cheap solution for the transfer...
