I just bought a new (well, almost new) C250 CDI Coupe. I intend to keep the car for a few years (7+) and I do look after my cars. I am new to Mercedes and my previous car was a BMW 120d Sport. I part exchanged the BMW when I got the Mercedes. The ownership experience with BMW has been very...

Hi, I have been a lurker for a while now and have finally mustered up the courage to join this great forum :) I own a Mercedes Benz W211 E320 CDi Avantgarde in silver on a 05 registration with 82,000 miles. I bought the car brand new from Mercedes Benz Mansfield in 2005. It is a very very...

Hello, I just realise that I got 2 short bolts on the wheels, while the 18 others are the old type , the long dreaded that can snap. Anyway, the difference in weight between the 2 is big, and I need to retreive 2 more of those old long bolts for the wheel to be balanced properlly. Does anyone...

My two previous cars both 6 cylinder one diesel and one petrol would be up to normal temperature within a mile or so, my currest B Class 4 cylinder take about 5 miles. Is this a little slow?

Hello, I'd like to install those nice wood tables into the back of the first seats into my S-Class long. It seems the whole back part of the seat needs to be changed. Anyone did such a conversion before ? Do you know where can one try to buy such a part beside a Mercedes dealer as replacement...

Sold the C32 AMG Estate and am running around in a new C250 CDI AMG Sport Coupe! Silver, 7 speed auto, panoramic, leather, heated. The daily 8 mile start-stop commute through rat-runs raped me for 11mpg (in winter, 15mpg in summer) so common sense had to take over; now it's 27mpg on same run...

Hi, I have just had an outer sill fitted and jacking points repaired on my C43 which involved removing of the front wing. As the wing had typical 202 rust round the wheel arch I took the opportunity to have a new MB wing refitted and sprayed upon reassembly. My question is how long after...

Hi, I have a 2002 clk and for some reason I keep having to change the battery in the keyfob. I've had it now for only 4 months and have had to change the battery 3 times! I've tried re-syncing it by holding down the lock button and pressing the unlock button 5 times, which didn't work. Has...

Hi all, Does anyone know the official geometry settings for the above vehicle. 1 - Toe-in / Toe-out setting 2 - Camber setting Cheers Slap_ed

Following on from Crockers thread, I wondered about tyres. Obviously heavily dependant on cars, but probably no more so than the brakes. My record was a 1.8 Pug 406 that I bought nearly new. Rear tyre blew, rather than failing on wear, at 55,000 miles. Thought that was pretty amazing. A...

My car has the "sports" brakes and the front discs and pads were changed at around 45-50k miles. The car is now on 92k and on the original rear rear discs and pads. Is this normal? I'm expecting a brake indicator light soon, but when I had new tyres put on before our trip to France the...

I decided now I am back in the shed, and I had not seen Greig (some of you have met him at a couple of the Scottish GTGs) that a boozy weekend at his in Aberdeen was in order. But this is me, and this is him. It would be FAR to boring for me to drive up there on the DCW so we hatched a...

I have done a lot of research on this minor problem but i have a 91 300ge and it seems to have to crank over a long time when cold and hot. I have changed all the obvious such as spark plugs and ht leads. Has anyone got any advice ?

I have a 150,000 mile E320 CDI with Airmatic. It suffers what I think to be a rough ride and is very sensitive to wheel balancing issues. I had the opportunity to follow and observe my car from another today, driving next to it I could see that the front wheels (especially driver-side)...

Just wondered what this is between the engine/fuel lines on the left and the inlet manifold I'm the right. The long shiny box type thing?

Hello all great to be back since Ive been off Ive been working on my CLK:bannana:

Chaps Ive just bought these 'E class' 16" alloys to replace mine. I see the 210 it come from so why when I tried to fit the first wheel - I found that the wheel bolt wasnt long enough? Can I get a used set of longer wheels bolts? Cheers
