S212 tailgate and iPod questions I am collecting my 'new' 2010 E350 cdi sport estate up on Thursday, I paid the deposit today and can't wait. I have a couple of questions however and I wondered if you could help? Is the tailgate powered for opening and closing or only closing ...

What a weekend! Mercedes and Shogun both break down on me! :dk: Driving home from work 8.30 Friday night about 15miles from home, engine management light comes on and loss of power. Pull over check book, okay to drive. Manage to limp home. Saturday, out and about in Shogun, come back to it...

Morning gentlemen (and ladies), could anyone advise me what the smallest wheels I can get away with fitting to my new E220cdi sport estate that currently has 19s on. I have made the mistake in the past buying the smallest wheels and then realising they won't go on due to the brakes. I'm after...

At a recent visit to the dealers they mentioned that the rear suspension was settling lower than they would expect overnight. They said I should monitor this in case of a leaky valve in the air suspension system but, unfortunately I don't really have a reference point for where it should sink...

Ok, so I'm trying to reduce the flab, so I'm looking for a rear mounted bike rack for the car. I've had roof racks in the past, but they've always been a pain to lift the bike onto the roof and get it secure at the same time (not enough hands). So, I'm trying to track down a rear mounted rack...

2 year old E63 in the latest shape for the price of a New C class sport estate. 2010 Mercedes-Benz E Class Amg Estate E63 5dr Auto 6.2

Hi Sure I am not the first to ask this but does anyone have any idea on where the rear facing 3rd row seats stand in comparison to the official child seat categories. My impression is that a child using a 'Group 1' seat would be too small to use them, but for group 2 and up they would be ok...

I've posted a few thoughts here - and got some good ones back - on my search for a 2009 S211 E220. It's not the only option - we also like the Skoda Superb and possibly the Audi A6 - but it's probably the nicest thing to travel in that our high-teens budget will buy. I've confined my search to...

See there's a few posts on this already...to those who have replaced already...could you post any photos of the new look...considering the following but think I'd paint the silver back mesh black & add the bonnet badge instead of the star as in the pic below

Most probably a really dumb question, but I can't find anything in the owner's manual. In the Estate, does the rear screen wash come from the tank under the bonnet (i.e same as for the front screen/headlamp wash)? I only ask as my old beemer had a separate fluid reservoir in the rear.

I collected my car after its A Service today to be told they'd changed the water pump. I hadn't received a recall letter, but the service guy advised that as its chassis number was 'close enough' to the affected batch they'd done it as a precaution. Early days in my MB experience, so I...

Hi Guys, Need some help with S212 (w212 estate) license plate LED change. There is nothing listed specifically for the S212, only for the W212. Which according to all ebay vendors is the same as the W204 C and W221 S. Rather than get the complete light module, I thought I would be a...

Spent the afternoon at MB World today. Took a 1 hr session in the AMG. Will anyone give me 80,000 quid for a kidney? or a child?

Seen in Pall Mall today.. Think it looks VERY good! :)

Hi chaps. I'm new around here and posted a couple of threads on the Elecronics Forum last night so tonight I thought I'd pester the Engine forum. I bought my 2001 E320 CDI Estate last week (94k miles on the clock) and am working my way through the inevitable niggles. Its the first time that...
