Hi Just picked up a 2003 E320 CDI with 175K on the clock. A few problems have come to light on the drive home (about 250 miles). 1. Glow plug light stays on after engine starts from cold, then clears and doesn't reappear on hot start. I'm guessing glow plugs down? 2. Black smoke when...

Have seen this done a couple of times with people claiming they have done the mod themselves and it turns out a car shop of some sort did it. Has anyone ran "switchback DRL's" on the indicator strip at the lower part of the headlight. There are 2 tubes that carry and spread the light of the...

hello, Encountered my first issue since owning my 380SEL, I'm not very well mechanically minded so I can only describe the problem to you peeps and hope someone might be able to tell me what could be up with it. Its like the engine is running at half capacity. A noticeable vibration...

I guys I am after a set of 22's for my new ml280. Anything considered as long as it has a Mercedes badge on it somewhere. Also looking for some oem/oem style running boards. NOT the big ugly round things, Brabus or not Brabus they are sickening to even glance at. Thanks

Hello, given the number of these cars sold in the UK, I appreciate response might be thin on the ground here. So basically, I have put a holding deposit on an R63 advertised for sale recently until I can get up to see it next week. I have a B5 RS4 at the moment, but I have another kid on the...

Dear forum colleagues, I would like to share a sorry story to see if any of you can give me inspiration. (Another of my posts (http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/parts-maintenance-servicing/180642-obd-tool-2000-w208.html) is semi relevant) I look after a w-reg CLK320 avantgarde for my wife (I...

Hello all, I'm new on here and seeking some advice. Basically I have been looking at w210 e55's. I have reached an age where I can afford to buy and insure one, and the want to own a big V8 won't go away. And for me AMG's just have something special, and the old w210 has aged well, and now...

Hello everyone, had my W124 for a few months now, it's just about run in at 146000 miles. I have two issues one an inconvenience the other an almighty pain. The car only gets used at the weekend but it's every weekend. She starts on the button ticks over and pulls away fine. When the problem...

Morning all My trusty 190 has developed an interesting problem that I'm having trouble with. On Saturday I found that the battery was flat as a pancake. Gave it a jump start and drove it around all day. No issues, and then on the Monday the same thing happened! Looked around for things left...

A friend had his led lights stolen from his 2011 c class, just a heads up to be careful they seem to be rather easy to remove with just four screws holding each light housing in situ. Cost from mb to supply and fit two new units.

On my S500L there is two grills in the bumper where you would think fog lights would be , after looking at pic on net the brabus has fogs there ..is it possable to buy them and would they fit and is there a alternative like daytime running light that would fit

We are thinking of selling off out trusty Nissan Pathfinder and buying an R class 350 L CDI as the family car as we need a 6/7 seats. We know it has now been discontinued , which is never a good sign . Not sure if it is a reliable vehicle and the associated running cost as conflicting...
