Hello everyone
I would be grateful for some help from those on here who seem to know (a lot) about these things.
I am thinking of buying a 2001-ish S-class, either a 430 or 500. Could anyone help me with the following:
1) What is the difference in standard equipment between the two?
2)...
Ok, a small dilemma for you to ponder.
I have a W220 S-class with a gearbox fault, it’s not a terminal fault and the car is drivable, the best way I can describe it is that the gearbox seems unable to choose what gear to select as you approach junctions or roundabouts. It seems to change out...
I have just been having a chat with a very good American friend and he has allowed me to put up a link to his home page where he has posted some beautiful pictures of his cars.
Am I envious? Yes of both the cars and his photographic skills. :) :)
Here is an example to wet the appetite:

i am anticipating purchasing an s320 cdi which has just had a new turbo replaced with a 1yr warrenty...just wondering if anyone has experienced this with an sclass and once the new one is in should that be the end of it? should this car still be a sound buy?
Hi,
I am trying to locate a current model S-class for some studio photography in Bristol. Preferred colours would be Iridium silver, Andorite grey, Cubanite silver or Obsidian black, and the interior needs to be a light coloured leather, ideally cream.
If someone can help then we'll supply you...
Hi,
We are planning a holiday and would like to take some bikes along - however I cannot locate *any* bike roof racks for W220 S-classes (short wheelbase). I called the dealer - they don't have any, nor can provide any time estimates for when they could get some.
I have a Thule set for...
Hi guys,
Now some of you might object to my taste, but I want to put 20" rims on a W140 (when I find a good one to buy).
Are there any pitfalls in fitting such large rims? Personally I think they suit the car just right, 17"s or 18"s just look too small for such a mammoth car.
I'm not...
Mercedes S-Class Driver Side door Mirror W140.

Its Around £90+vat Brandnew. i dnt knw what its worth. open to offers.
Hi guys,
I am seriously considering buying an S Class, I've seen some nice 1997 and 1999 ones for sale. I have read on Parkers website that running costs are 'sky high'... I am currently on about 20k a year, and don't want the vast majority of it spent on the upkeep of this car.
I am looking...
Hi
What was the design and size of the AMG's that were designed for the
W140 S-classs?
Is the set up staggered?
I am just toying with the idea at the moment as I feel the current 16" wheels are too small.
Thanks

Hi guys,
I was always looking to buy an E-Class, but have always liked the mammoth old S-Class 1991-1999.
I looked it up on Parkers, and it says the running costs are sky high! Are they really that expensive to run (the smaller engined models)?? Parkers tech figures don't seem that...

You won't believe the options list. I want it. Now!
Where can I reorder this CD? (I believe its made by Tele Atlas). My Command sat nav works only very rarely (when you dont need it) - the CD reports "CD error". I'm guessing its a CD rather than electronic problem as the CD is dated 1999. Any ideas? Thanks
My 99 S500's (99-05) auto gearbox is playing up. When accel at full tilt, the engine just revs on a low gear and refuses to "click" into the right gear. Also, random jerky changes... A real shame - gone from 0-60 in under 7 secs to being outraced by a 316i.. What gives?
I have just watched the review of the new S-class on Top Gear, what a car. I'm not sure about the rear wheel arches, but that's me.
I predicted the CLS would not be as popular as the media wanted us to believe, so I am going to predict that this new S-class will carry on the tradition of being...
This is a reference guide for owners of S (220) and CL (215) with CD based navigation and a Nokia phone kit. Whilst it does also apply to W210 and many other cars - there are some slight differences here and there.
Your mission if you choose to accept it is to convert this 1999-2003 S-Class...
