standard

Have been trying to find out whether closing aid doors (where they close by themselve) were standard or an option on all W220 S-Class'. Reason is my recently acquired S320 CDI does not have them, and just wanted to know if my car had something missing from it, or if the closing aid was an...

something needs to be done, this weekend I have been to the south of france and back, 7 hours from Toulon to Calais, 7 hours from Dover to Farnham, gridlocked, accidents, people not being able to drive, its rediculous, its like being in a third world country, I know that when I go to Austria and...

I've come to the conclusion that I'm not going to get what I want for my car selling it as it is. I've therefore decided to take the AMG alloys off it and the Stereo out of it and sell it cheap, as I've found my next car and want to get shut of mine asap! If someone can spare me a set of steel...

Hi my R107 SL i've just bought has a series of different bolts on the alloy wheels. There are a mixture of differnt sized heads and lengths of thread in them and some are really stuck in and some are easy to come out. some i assume are meant for steel wheels, others for later mercs :(...

Good afternoon gents Does the W211 have speakers behind the grille's on the A-Pillar as standard or is it dependent upon the stereo fitted? The reason I ask is my dads 2007 E200 has the grilles and the foam inserts for the tweaters, no problem there, its a mass produced model and its cheaper...

It's time to replace the Michelin Pilot Primacy G1s on my W211. I've been told that the Pilot Primacy has been replaced by the Primacy HP. I assume that the newer Primacy HP doesn't have the rim protector that comes with the G1. Any thoughts on whether I should switch to the newer HPs or hunt...

Does anyone know if my car will pass this test fitted with a standard exhaust? Its fairly rumbly under hard acceleration but I have no idea how loud it is:confused: The noise limits are 101dB(A) static (measured 0.5m from the exhaust at a 45' angle at 3/4 maximum revs) and 87.5 dB(A)...

Hello all, I am hoping to buy a late model ML 270 ('04 or '05 <35k) shortly and could really use some help. I have seen three different spec's referred to in for sale listings the standard, Inspiration and Special Editions, but haven't managed to find a definitive list of the differences...

Anybody out there know where the E/S switch on a W124 auto gets its supply from ? There is no difference in the gear change revs in either setting. I've read somewhere that this switch operates a solenoid valve so maybe the valve is duff - where is this valve and is it a job to access ? Finally...

yes it is possible, I just snapped a junior hacksaw blade in half, put the end without the posts into the slots about an inch and wiggled it about, click click and both sides are free, took about 30 seconds, not that im stingy, I just wanted the job done now and couldnt be bothered to try to...

I was thinking along the lines of a Continental holiday next year and thought I'd feel better with a full size spare for my 203 C200K Elegance Facelift. Mine are the standard 7J x 16, 7-hole design. I would be glad to hear from anybody who has one to sell. Many thanks in anticipation. Ernie

I'm needing a new set of rears for mine shortly, it currently has Continentals on there but I'm lead to believe the new cars are running Pirelli PZeros, can someone please confirm? Many thanks.

http://www.itv-f1.com/News_Article.aspx?id=44303 This could spell the death of F1 in my opinion. What interest will the likes of Renault, Mercedes, Ferrari, Toyota, BMW, Honda have in F1 if they are forced to use one of their competitors engines in their car ?? Surely those manufacturer teams...

My W204 has the standard Audio 20 system and the sound is adequate rather than good, so I want to explore audio upgrade options. I'm not minded to go down the full component system route, but can anyone recommend a good ICE installer who's worth talking with about an upgrade to the standard...

I've had a 06 C220 CDI for a few weeks now but have been waiting for the dealer to get me the handbook. The car is an auto with the Classic/standard/manual (c/s/m) gear button. How does this work? I can't figure it out. My previous cars have been very mechanical manuals so this is a bit new to...

As I mentioned in another thread, I am currently looking for a facelift W163 that is good value for money, but has been looked after. I have now been to see 4 which have all had between 50 and 75k miles on them, and am yet to find one that looks like it has been looked after, one of them...
