Last year I purchased a rather fine 2000 MY long wheelbase S320, my first MB after a period of Jaguar ownership. My reasons were pretty simple I needed a car to commute to work every day and my old XJ8 was just not coping with the rigors of the M25. I spent a few weeks debating what to buy. It...

Hi everyone... I posted a little while ago about changing some of the interior lights in my W220 with LED's as they had stopped working. So I bought some rather nice 12v blue led's from my local Halfords which I installed into the existing front & rear footwell lamp units. The LED's are...

My drivers side heated seat doesn't appear to work even though the buttons on the door function correctly. I am guessing therefore that its probably the element although it seems odd that both the back and bottom bits have packed up simultaneously. According to the previous owner this happened...

Hi all Have seen a 1996 W140 S500 that is most likely going to reside at Chataeux James by this time next week. However, I thought I would just throw it up here in case there was anyone who was going to say "Oh no, if only I had known, I was thinking of getting rid of mine" So.....anyone...

I hear from a realiable source that the production line of the 221 has halted due to lack of sales. I am not sure how true it is? Anyone know?

The driver, not content with this very sorted and impressive brand new car, decided to stick a Bentley badge on the front lower sill :eek: errrr.....why?

I am looking at purchasing an S-Class 320 Cdi SE 2004 model. I would greatly appreciate any advice from the current owners. What is economy like? Is it a reliable car? What should I look for? I currently own a CLK 320 (1999) model and it is very reliable, as the S-Class so cheap now I am...

I'm looking at possibly getting an S class W220 series and I have some questions. 1) What sort of MPG might I get from the diesel 320? 2) Did any of the rust issues from the E class appear on the S class 3) During the lifetime of the W220 where there any facelifts? how would I tell? 4)...

I was thinking of changing my car for an S-Class but as i like to when changing car i would like to know (apart from fuel consumption:D ) what are the general problems associated with these lovely cars, and what engine size and trim should i go for. For obvious reasons they are coming down in...

Ever since my first "drive" at 14 in my dad's s-class, I've always wanted one... It's one of my dream cars really... Now with the price of fuel soaring and taxes going up just as much, older s-classes seem to be cheaper and cheaper... I saw a 1993 S320 for just over a grand, with full MBSH...

Some subtle changes, think it looks ok really. http://www.jesmb.de/indexie.htm

Hi I need to replace the left side wing mirror on our W140 S-class after some **** kindly decided maliciously unfold it when the car was parked up. I have a replacement mirror, thanks to the very helpful Ian @ W124 Works. Now how do I fit the thing, does anyone have a diagram of the...

I was over at my local MB indy today (Auto Motion in Galway) and noticed a not so unusual S-Class (W221 new model) parked up, didn't think much until I saw German plates on it. Anyone seen such a thing before? Not the first time I've *heard* of somebody ordering direct from MB in Germany in...

Now then, this is absolutely beautiful. Looks like a stunning car. Completely impractical though, surely? Isn't it? Isn't it? :devil: Sorely tempted, but a 4.3L V8 has got to sting in terms of fuel, and all those gadgets to go wrong :crazy:

A colleague is getting married in August, and needs a car and driver to take him from Birmingham to Huddersfield, hang around for the day and drive back. He fancies an S-Class, and has found a few companies through Google, but it seems mainly W220s on offer. For the sort of money it's...

What a stunning car, looks fantastic - probably one of the nicest 221s I've ever seen :cool: Thanks for the pictures :) Will

Hello all! I've perused the forums a lot recently, having become a Mercedes owner for the first time in December. I've bought a 1-owner 53 plate S 320 CDI. It has *all* the toys bar the TV and linguatronic - fully loaded in other words. The mileage is high - 122,000 on purchase but the car...
