r500

Hi All After a while away from MB (first family wagon was a C55 Estate), it's time to come back to the fold. If anyone knows of an R500 (later engine) or E500 7 seater available, ideally with a tow bar (but I guess that could be added later), I'd love to hear about it. Thanks

hi guys i was thinking of getting one of these they seem good value for money mainly used as family car, i would like to hear from you good folk of any thing to look out for and which model is best? are they pretty reliable? did MB fix the paint issue i know my 2002 w203 had plently of...

One of the 3rd-row seatbelt retaining clips has broken - not a major issue really, but it means the parcel shelf catches on the belt when its retracting....annoying indeed! I've trawled the 'net looking for the part number, but to no avail. I've attached a pic of the clip - just wondered if...

Evening all. I'm working my way through a few bits that need sorting on my R500. I've got a new battery to fit this coming week (its a big bu**er, I'll have to be careful I don't put my back out....:eek: ), I 'fixed' the rear parking sensors (what I mean is, I realised the display is viewed in...

Never quite sure about the shape but this car is a lot of motor for the money Mercedes-Benz R Class R500 SPORT 5DR AUTO 6 SEATER 5.0 2006
