Can anyone please help? My S500 is November 2001 and has the Comand unit with Cd satnav. Ever since I have owned the car the satnav has been erratic.

Hi, my s500 has a few problems and I need some pointers to get me started. 1. Starts fine from cold/hot but tickover is quite erratic - rising, falling, steady for a bit then dropping, rising in a kind of random fashion. Some days it's worse than others. 2. If I drive it for a couple of miles...

The interior heater blower on my s500 (1993) blows all the time, even with ignition off and key out. Any ideas because it obviously drains the battery. Cheers.

I am looking for a workshop manual for the above. Many Thanks John

Hi All, A brief intro... I am currently looking to take advantage of the excellent prices available for late W220s. I am seriously considering an S500, '04 plate, or an S320CDI 55 plate. Tempted by the power and luxury of the V8, and the economy and warranty of the diesel. Anyone who...

Hi, thought I'd share with you my very recent trip through Europe down to Bulgaria in my 1993 S500. I had a conversion to lpg before the trip as I reckon this saved me about £500 for the return journey. It's about 1800 miles one way, through France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Serbia and...
