    Here is Sieglinde, our 315 Sprinter-based AutoSleepers motorhome: That's our dog, Alfie, in front. The name was chosen by my friend Linda when I hosted Linda and her husband, John on a cycle tour round the north west coast of Scotland.

    S211 320 Cdi P0717 and limp home mode

    Hi all, My recently acquired S211 320 Cdi has now twice gone into limp home mode. On both occasions it was after a long drive (100miles plus) and the car being left for a few hours. Soon after driving off the car went into limp home mode after stopping at a junction. My iCarsoft i980 reports...

    Brought her home...

    Good Evening! I'm new to the forums and here's my story... (It's long but I hope you'll enjoy it). I've posted this on another MB forum but thought I'd share it with you too. In 2000 (I was 10), my late father communicated directly with a Mercedes dealer in Germany to purchase his E220...

    Yet Another ESP, ABS, limp home thread

    Sorry folks yet another ESP, ABS, no speedo, limp home thread but with a twist. Just picked up a lovely (and cheap) C240 2001. This is my 3rd Merc in recent years and I'm fine with reading codes and replacing sensors but this one is giving me a bit of a headache. I have an excellent...

    Tyre fitting at home

    I've used Event Tyres previously to have some rears fitted, but just come across these people. Now Event did an excellent job, very careful fitter and also patient, waiting for me to paint the balance weights he'd used before refitting the wheels, though the prices that tyres on the drive are...

    W211 E220 cdi limp home mode.

    Hi, I would like to see whether there is any new information in why my E220 cdi 2004 has gone into limp home mode. I was out at the weekend, in the car, and I noticed that it had decided to go into limp home mode, and I don't know why. I know that I will have to visit a main dealer, in Dublin...

    Offered to a good home

    Hi Guys, On the orders of Mrs Patagonian I am having a very reluctant clear out. I've got several AMG related brochures/booklets from 2003 and later (CLS) and rather than giving them to my local charity shop (or worse find them missing one day) I thought someone here might find them useful...

    Cleaning car away from home

    OK, so you spend as many hours as it takes to wash, wax, polish, detail and buff your pride and joy to within an inch of its life. You drive to an event to show it off via dirty wet roads, or a dusty track. What products should you take, to return it to its pre-journey condition without water...

    R129 Ok for home maintenance?

    Hi, I'm looking for a hobby car, and have decided that I want something a bit "classic". Initially I was looking for a British sports car (having previously owned some Triumphs in the past) or maybe a Moggie Traveller but, as we love our S211 280 CDI estate, have wondered about an R129 SL 320...

    My C43 wagon needs a new home

    Time has come to move on my awesome C43. No expense has been spared during my three years of ownership. As the local MB commented on Wednesday, having put it through its MOT, it is the best we have seen for many years. They have one other that they work on but it apparently does not even...

    Coming Home

    Hello, I've been a member since 2009 and I started off with a W203 2.7CDi for the family. From picking the car up I loved it, not the ride or power but the power delivery got me. Unfortunately in 2011 somebody drove into the side of it while my wife was driving along and then drove off...
