Hello all, After a flat battery the other day my CD changer is playing up. I couldn't get a CD to play. I opened the faceplate to check there was a disc in there. Every time I push a button (1-6) I get a lot of whiring and clonking but no music. It seems to settle on slot 3, but...

Hello again chaps, The DVD player in my 2004 W211 will only seem to play certain discs. On many discs I get a 'DVD Error' message and no playback. Discs with no region coding seem to be okay but region specific seem to be a problem. Has anyone else had this issue? Is this a firmware thing or is...

I want to put my S280 back on the road. After snapping 2 rear drive shafts, I'm concern there may be an issue with the diff. Just after I bought the car it developed a leak on the ASD pipe, I did sort this but think the diff lock may not be disengaging when it should. Hope this makes sense...
