Does anyone know how the mechanism works for locking the load cover into position when extended to cover the load area?
Looking in from outside, the right hand side won't click and lock like the left side does. I wonder if this can be repaired?
Managed yesterday to almost fit 3 225 litre oak barrels with the seats down, i'd guess that if I had a W210 as opposed to a W124 all 3 would have fitted no problem.
My 1993 320 TE (M104) smokes when run at high speed for prolonged periods. If I run for more than about 10 minutes at 90 mph or more, it pours a white/pale grey smoke from the exhaust. If I back off, it dies away.

Hi all, just joined & have to say these forums seems to be a very informative place but although after a few searchs i cannot find a conclusive answer to my questions.
I just bought a 2002 clk320 with amg alloys so have 225/45/17 front & 245/40/17 rear. I'm looking to replace all four tyres...
Folks
I've got a significant misfire on acceleration and the car (a '93 600SEC) doesn't want to go anywhere near the red line. If I ease off the throttle a little, then the engine seems happier. I'm also getting less miles per gallon than I should.
I don't have an exhaust gas analyser though...
has anyone stripped the load cover and replaced the springs as my load cover no longer retracts the way it should, and really dont want shell out for a new load cover!
thanks guys

Just moved to an E270 04 W211 Estate from a W203 C180 Estate.
It has an electronic load cover in the boot but it either jumps off one side on opening or it doesnt rewind properly. Anyone any ideas...may be some lube needed on the roller and/or rear pillar tracks?

Please help - the spring has died in mine, and it's really handy, especially with the dog.
Preferably in Black, but will consider anything!
I'm driving right through the country next week, so can pick it up from pretty much anywhere.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
I have a W210 (02 avant estate, E220). I bought last year with a full years MOT. So far, so good..
Any way, I've noticed that it seems to sit low and I also read up on the last years MOT and it had an advisory about pay load (which the dealer didn't pass on!)
Is this an expensive thing...
On a W202. Accelerating higher up the rev range there is a vibration, when you reach required speed and cruise there is no vibration. I'm thinking along the lines of a flexible couple at either end of the propshaft might be worn. What do you guys think, any experience or advice on replacing the...

Hi,
I am after what looks like (in the accessories brochure for pre-facelift car) a chrome panel which goes on the horizontal part of the upper bumper to protect it when loading the car. It matches the 2 small chrome inserts which are on the rear hatch plastic sill.
MB parts can only find a...
