Hi All, I have seen a s320 local to me which I quite like. The seller generally works abroad and so it has only ever convered around 1000 miles a year - sitting in storage for 9-10 months at a time. He seems to be very very maticulous in terms of its up keep so I am happy on that front but...

Hi All, firstly apologies if this question had been already asked, but i simply cant get a straightforward answer anywhere. I have a '97 S320 (UK) and looking to replace the exquisit cassette head unit with something more recent. Question is; how hard/easy is it to swap this with a more...

Hi guys my car is constantly in limp mode but the engine management light doesn't display. Before this happened it seemed like it was also down on power but the turbo was kicking in.... It was also kicking out a huge puff of black smoke when you put your foot down. Any ideas?

Morning All. The E320 CDI, that my Father drives has unfortunately been written off, and he now wants an S-Class. (W221). I've been looking around, and there seems to be a big disparity in quality. Invariably, alot of the cars on the second hand market have been used as upmarket taxi's...
