parking

Suddenly the front drivers side is showing proximity all the time. It varies from 1 to 4 yellow lights. They seem to work, in that if i get closer more come on and the passenger side and rear are fine. I've given them a clean but n/c. Should i suspect a damaged wire?

Evening all, The parking brake shoes expanders on my 2008 E class were seizing up so I've stripped and cleaned everything and replaced discs, pads and shoes at the same time. Straight afterwards my parking brake pedal travel was really long so I had a look at WIS and tried to follow the...

Hi Folks, Should the w211 estate e280 alert or warn when parking brake engaged? I can't count how many time I have set off down the road and forgetting to release the darn thing. Having adjusted the parking brakes on more occasions than I'd like to admit due to the above I thought it high...

I've got a w211 e280 CDI sport 2007 facelift and just notice the n/S parking lamp is out. I thought no problem easy but no very fiddly to get out and it's an LED type. I can't find anything like it online. I ended up removing the front bumper and took the lamp out as the LED bulb came apart...

I've noticed that if I leave the car a couple of days pulling the dash lever to disengage the parking brake doesn't work immediately and the dash exclamation mark stays on. I seem to have to creep the car backwards (parked nose in) and keep trying and it will come off after a coupe of goes...

I am thinking of installing aftermarket electromagnetic parking sensors in my clk 240 (w209). I am hoping for shorter distance range operation, lower installation cost, avoiding bumper drilling. Does anyone have any experience with these sensors as opposed to the more popular ultrasonic ones...
