Hi everyone, I have tried on many occasions to try and reattach the padded front headrest to the main unit - it was like this when I bought it. It has come off completely and I just don't know how to get it back on?!!! It kind of clips in the tops but not at the bottom - seems there's some...

Hi the van was running fine, and then it wouldn't start. I put the key in ignition, all the lights in the dashboard would light up, but I turned the key to start it but nothing happens. I checked the starting motor, but its working fine. There's no error on the dashboard. Does anyone know...

I have a 2007 E280cdi with ILS. A few weeks ago the right hand xenon went out and an ILS inoperative error accompanied this. I turned the lights off and on again and the light came on again. It then worked for a while and went off again. My i980 tells me that the error is e2m3 right...

Hi all i wonder if you could help me with diagnosing a problem with my car. Its a 2010 E350 CDI. In the cold weather it has been getting progressively harder to start in the morning, maybe taking 4 attempts to start. The glow plug light has also started to flash regularly or stay on constantly...

I bought a Mercedes CD 220 in June 2015. It was an ex demonstrator with only 400 miles on it. It was 2015 registered on a 64 plate and 12 weeks old. It was brought up from another Mercedes Garage and I was very happy with it. As I drove away I pulled up at traffic lights and could hear a...

Hi everyone, I own a 2006 E280 and I'm experiencing an issue with the passenger side xenon headlamp. It started to flicker occasionally about a year ago and has now stopped working completely. I assumed if was the bulb and bought a replacement but it is still dead so its not that. I've also...

Went away for a few days over Christmas and New Year and parked my car at a hotel for 11 days. On returning, got into the car started the car and turned on Comand for my route home. All my memory and previous destinations were gone and I had to type me address in again. It worked perfectly from...

Hello guys and Happy New Year, new to the forum, but reading from quite some time. So the issue is with S211 E320 CDI 2004, with rear self leveling suspension. As usual the rear dropped down at some point. 1. Checked all the fuses and relay - hopefully everything was fine 2. Was throwing...

So the hanger from my backbox had snapped a while ago which resulted in the exhaust hanging pretty low (not really complaining about this considering its a 15 year old car). Anyways over the weekend I took the car to the midlands to see some family and unfortunately they have a steep...

So, swmbo has an iPhone5. There is one particular contact in there that doesn't receive texts. The number is correct as we have speech contact and txt messages presumably send OK because the swoooosh sound is heard on 'Send'. The recipients phone is android. Settings>Messages>Send as SMS is...

First couple of days of ownership and no problems, today going over a slow speed bump, as I accelerated away, normal speed nothing heavy with the right foot, the car was sluggish as if the brakes were on and then a sound like I was driving over a corrugated surface for a few seconds. Car felt...

Almost due for the MOT again and another problem shows up! Has anyone replaced an upper front left control arm on a w202 c class? There's a US guide online which makes it look simple, as does the Haynes manual, but both show an accessible pivot bolt nut. The bolt head is accessible but the...
