I am very interested to know if anyone has fitted "chrome" rings to their W126, and whether it was straightforward, or as I have discovered, very difficult to impossible. I ordered a set from a company in Germany about a year ago, and I presumed that the rings would be made the same as the...

Hi as anyone removed the cluster on a facelift w211? My speedo seems to be sticking in various places. Tried talking battery off which made it go back to zero but as soon as I drove it it's stuck at 30 ish mpg so I assume the gear ring is broken! With any luck. Also my sunroof has stopped...

Hi guys, does anybody know how or know someone that can virginise/reset n flash a used facelift 3 dial cluster for an e coupe 2011? The cluster is from a 2013-16 e coupe

I know the little 1.2w bulb is an R509T. But what number is the bigger bulb for the background illumination? It has a black base 2w and a bit longer (27mm) with a slightly broader base.

My SL55 didn't come with the nice alcantara trimmed instrument cluster surround found on a lot of them. Mine is just bare plastic. I've got hold of the part required and am now wondering how to swap it over. Has anyone done this? it looks like it might be simple but I don't want to wreck...

Hi All, Went to start car today and the instrument display is completely dead. No gauges, no dials and no clock. Also the steering wheel controls have stopped working. Went for drive, half a mile and back and some lights appeared on display namely SRS and Lim. Indicators seem to be working...

Guys, Looking for some DIY guides or advice before I send the cluster off for a possible repair. The E-Class i have for sale has been perfect for years, since making it SORN at the end of Jan, I have moved the car twice, once to take pictures and yesterday (about two weeks apart) Upon...

In my 124, I switch on my side lights or head lights and my cluster just barely illuminates. I have checked that the dimmer is fully on and I have fitted all new bulbs to the cluster. What to do please?

Hi all Got in my car to go home last night, in my 2001, CLK 320, turned on my headlights, ok, I started to drive off, looked at my instrument panel, could not see everything, none of the small lamps were on. I checked the relevant fuses this morning, all is ok, before I start ripping...

W211 (09) reg , Just started up car to move it back into driveway and nothing whatsoever on the instrument cluster. Engine starts, Comand works, but absolutely nothing on the cluster, clock stopped at 11.40, none of the needles move. Have got the fuse list out, but none of them mention anything...

Please could someone help. I have just bought a 2003 ML 270 cdi, and love it. Noticed that the Outside Temp, Mileage and Gear/Clock on the instrument cluster did not illuminate. Went ahead and changed all 3 bulbs, but they still dont light up Am I missing something else. All other dials...

hi guys and girls can someone please explain how you get mpg up on the instrument clutter for a mercedes c250 coupgetting e 2012 thanks

I may be imagining things but I'm sure that the instrument cluster on my 2014 w212 used to be brightly lit during the daytime and then softly lit when the lights were on. I noticed yesterday that it's no longer lit at all in the day and I can't find any setting to bring it back. This evening...

So I have figured out most of my C270, however as I have the incorrect books (I have a pristine set for the 2004+); I have a couple of questions: What does the 'EC Rest' button do on the heater controls? Can someone give me a rundown of the Lighting options on the computer settings...

I remember seeing someone enter the type of oil used in the instrument cluster but I can't find how to access it. I don't want to go all random with the menus and buttons so I'm relying on the forum collective wisdom. How do I tell the microbrain the type of oil I'm using? W203 C200 cdi '04...

On my previous W164 ML320 Sport the instrument cluster was lit even when the exterior lights were off but in my W166 ML350 Sport the cluster lights are off unless the exterior lights are on. Is this normal behaviour? I would like to have the cluster lit all the time but can not find a setting...

Hi I’m looking for guidance on replacing a fried W163 2002 ML350 instrument cluster, specifically unit part number compatibility. Without wishing to bore the members of this forum, I’ll briefly explain the circumstances which lead me to require a new cluster and the pain of sourcing a used...

Hi all, I'm after a cluster for my car as it has stopped working. Diagnostics place said best bet was for a 2nd hand/ reconditioned unit. Can anyone help? Thanks
