s211

Is it at all possible to make the manual mode offered on the sport auto box actually do what it is told? I tell it to shift up and nothing happens! Change it to sport and it changes it up on its own :-S I just want it to do as it's told! Steve

On the above car, thinking about changing the engine mounts as they have done 90k, done a little research on here and over on the Usa forum. Some have said when doing the osf engine mount you have to unbolt the bracket from the engine that the mount is bolted to. Other's say you can get...

Spent a 1 hour and half on the bonnet hinges, had done them before but was a good while ago, Believe it or not i use some leather cleaner lol on a 1" paint brush to get right in there and it worked a treat. Took longer because i removed the bolts holding the bonnet to the body so i could get...

Hi Folks. Well, since buying the Zoe for my commute, my wife has had the Merc and she doesn't like it. It's too, big, too fast, too many gadgets .......... I'm considering getting rid as I never get to drive it, and probably buying her a wee Dacia! Crazy I know, but there's no point in...

Hi, I've just had me Merc e class in for an MOT and it has failed on excessive corroded brake pipes! I've asked the garage to have a look provide me with a price but and I'm wondering whether it involves more work or whether there's a set procedure baring in mind it's got SBC brakes. Thanks in...

Hi all, I wondering whether anyone has an e class s211/w211 nearside xenon headlight you would like to sell me. Mine has cracked and I'm wondering whether anyone is local to Yorkshire who would have one available? Thanks in advance

Made the mistake of locking car at garage before filler cap was closed. Now it won't unlock. Already taken the RHS interior side panel off and can see (and felt - as in "ouch") the actuator is moving back and forwards as it should when key is pressed. Seems as if the metal pin that secures the...

Mercedes E55 AMG Kompressor Estate - ultra rare 7 seater Hmmm.... Seeing as though my pal won't sell me my old E55 back, this looks to be a very good buy; from the photos it looks very very high spec. If it was nearer I might have had a bash at this...

Hi all, can anyone tell me what the box is on the bottom left hand corner as you open up the boot on S211 e class. It has SBC brakes and I believe it's something to do with that. It's making a noise occasionally which is like a clicking or rattling noise. It's normally when I'm going over speed...

I have been contemplating this one seen not on Ebay but Pistonheads. Anyone viewed it or know anything about this one? Used 2004 Mercedes-Benz AMG E55 AMG for sale in Worcestershire | Pistonheads Has missed services under the current owner for a bit although it hasn't done much mileage...

Hi All - Have had my E220 estate for a few months now and have tried adjusting the rear seats to make them upright to increase the usable load area without folding down the seat backs. Based on the handbook, I should be able to release the seat backs and push forward then pull up the release...

Hi wondered if anyone can help, the interior step sill plastic cover's are cracked at the ends as they are only plastic. On the OSR the Part number is A211 680 06 35 There is also a white label with 617 092 Then underneath it has 07 03 .03 Which one of the above is the...

Hello, I have a 2004 S211 with a manual boot lid. Recently as I open the boot it sticks when the lid is in the horizontal position, e.g. open 90 degrees. You can apply a bit of force and it clunks beyond this point but is obviously not quite right. I have re-greased all the moving...

As per title, looking for an S211 E63 estate. Mileage unimportant as long as it's backed up by service history.

When cold and trying to accelerate anything more than very gently it misfires between 2-3,000 rpm. Not always from completely cold, even a restart after a few hours. Been to my indie for a service and no error codes were logged, also no failure indications during the misfiring. Once warm it...

Last night when I turned the car off it came up with display fault visit workshop and a little bulb. Turned it on and off again and it didn't come back on. Thought nothing of it. Came out today the warning wouldn't go out then I got the two reading lights on the interior mirror flashing and the...

I tried to check this today on arriving at work. Engine to posn 2 and the car starts its measurement but it won't get past the measuring stage, it just goes back to the speedo at 0 mph and doesn't give me any info on the oil level. I have done this successfully in the past but I've also had this...

Hi peeps, I need to clean the rear subframe etc up, is it ok to jack the rear ofthe car up on the rear diff so i can use axle stands on the jacking points? Maybe a silly question but thought id rather ask 1st lol:D

I have been getting a suspension 'clunk' for a while on the nearside. Jacked it up today and found play at the Hub Carrier swivel joint where it is bolted to the Spring Control Arm (lower wishbone). It looks to me as though the swivel is part of the Hub Carrier and to get a new swivel means a...
