reversing

My local garage recently fitted new brake discs and pads to the front of my C180 (W202) and new pads to the rear. They advised they needed doing following the MOT. After picking up the car from the garage, it made an unpleasant squeaking noise when braking whilst going forward and reversing...

Hi - I have been through the usual well-documented problems with the reversing lights on my 98 E Class Estate and thought that I had sorted them out - I had almost 6 months with no problems. Now, the problem has returned with a vengeance - not only no lights but no power to the bulb holders so...

I think the cornering lights is a (just) coding mod... I have searched the forum on the reversing camera addition but am confused (it doesn't take much :o ) I have COMAND, what else do I need, yes, a camera :rolleyes: but what to connect to the COMAND? I think the TV tuner is a bit expensive...

I have a 3 yr old C180 Estate and when I reverse up a slight incline (driveway) it will roll forward if I do not have my foot on the break or on the accelorator. Does anyone know what the problem is. It has only just started to happen.

Anyone know how difficult this is to retrofit and what parts are required for a 2005 c class saloon? Cheers

I have just produced a new page 64 on reversing sensors, being aware of all the other sensors on the Mercedes 'A' Class which are there as standard have Mercedes got their priorities wrong in putting such things as oil level sensors on a car when they charge £460 to put 'Parktronic' on a car at...

Hi all, First i have a w211 e270cdi (Auto). Was parking the car in a car park today, reversed first to get into the upward sloped space, had to go forward a bit to align, but when i moved from R to D, when i accelerated it was still rolling backwards. Had to then put the handbrake on and...

Has anyone recommendations for after market reversing sensors. My tow bar people want £175 to supply and fit. I thought that sounded expensive?

Can anybody confirm for me that the left hand door mirror is supposed to automatically tilt downwards to see the rear n/s wheel when reverse is engaged? I'm sure I have read that this is a feature but mine does not do it. CLK 55/05 270d Auto.

Guys, I am new to this forum and I need your help. I have a W210 E55 and I noticed today when I put the car into reverse with the steering wheel at full lock there was quite a loud sqealing/chirping noise coming from the front suspension of the car. When the steering wheel is not at full...

When I leave my house in the morning I have to reverse out of my drive with my wheel sometimes at full lock on a turn. When reversing with the wheel anywhere near full lock it feels like I drive over something with the front wheel or it is slightly buckling. It doesnt happen all the time, it...

Can anybody help? In my manual it tells me that is possible to have the nearside door mirror dip when revers is engaged. There is an asterisk which makes me think that I may need to have selected some accessory. Do I need an option/accessory? Can I retrofit? I have a '04 E270 Avantgarde...

My husband took delivery of his new W203 C180 saloon last Sat. He has never owned a Benz until now. For the past few years, he has driven a Nissan Primera hatchback. He's found parking the Benz a difficult chore. To quote his words "I can't see the back properly". I have looked at past threads...
