Well, after 2 years nearly I have decided to sell my S211 E320cdi Avantgarde Estate.
I bought it with 60 odd thousand on it while it was three and half years old, it felt extremely solid and in great condition for the age.
The only issues I have had on it is a sort of brake or suspension...
Honest, I am. Driving in to work today excited about picking up my new C Class Coupe C250CDI 125 Ed but realising what a really good car it has been. 2006 S60 D5 185. Owned it since new. Longest I have ever owned a car by far. 72000 miles of totally trouble free. comfortable, reasonably quick...
Under warranty MB Central are replacing the load cover motor on my car.
They are also fixing a mysterious oil leak in the timing chain area after they checked the timing marks, under instruction from Milton Keynes, in an attempt to find the strange idle vibration that has them baffled.
It went...

steve.
sometimes it takes 3 or 4 presses of the key to either unlock or lock the car with the IR remote, do you need to be fairly acurate where you point the key or is it an indication that the batteries are getting low?
If I hold the button down on the key I can see the red light come on
After owning my first MB for a week now I found one thing that is missing that I kind of took for granted.
My previous car (11yr old Golf TDI GT) had a very nice radio feature for traffic reports which would record the reports as they are played. If you missed on due to distractions of...
Hi All, I'm new to the site and new to Merc ownership, so please bear with me if this has been asked before! I have a '97 E320 (petrol), that when I accelerate hard has a strong miss fire almost as if the rev limiter kicks in :confused:.
Any ideas as to what it might be?? Other than that it's a...
Hello all fellow Mercedes enthusiasts
I would love to know what you all miss about Mercedes from back in the days ? To get us started 2 things that I miss are the weird & wonderful colours that new owners used to order their Mercedes in. Today all Mercs are sadly either silver or black but...
I just can't help myself...although I have no desire to change the C63 I just felt the need for, well.....a change. I'm sure many of you just know what I mean and I'm some will just think I'm a V8 short of a piston!
So, whilst the C63 wasn't in the firing line, this meant my long suffering...
Hi,
I have bought a '95 C280 for weekday use and kept the S500 Coupe for weekends.
On startup the car is absolutely perfect with no miss - this develops once warm.
If I rive her about 50 miles the miss eventually goes and only reappears if the car is left parked up for several days.
I am...
It is now 4 months since I swapped my 07 S320 for a 59 CLS320 and time to take stock.
The S Class was bought new to ease the strain of ploughing a furrow between Norfolk and Yorkshire when I had a contract up there. That finished over a year ago and I then felt the car was being under used as...

Hi All,
Up until this morning my 300/24 started in a milli-turn.
Today, after a severe frost, I had to turn the key twice for the first time. After thirty miles, some with the heated seats bringing my buttocks up to temp I turned the car off and successfully restarted, but then, following a...
I recently packed up and moved away from England.. I left my my beloved merc with my parents...
So at the moment I'm driving a Nissan 4x4 pickup on some seriously bumpy roads!! And i just find myself daydreaming about how nice it is to go cruising in my car... I'm probably being abit sad i...
18 months ago I traded in my beloved C270 CDI and bought a brand new Lexus IS250. Quite why I have no idea. It's a decent motor completely ruined by rattles and creaks which come and go and are a nighmare to fix. When I bought it I only test drove two cars, the Jag XF (which is over-rated IMHO)...
