I know what is involved with fitting Comand to my W212, but just been offered a Nav 50 unit and screen for peanuts. Is this pretty much plug and play when going from an Audio 20? Will it need coding to the car? It is out of another UK car, no Harman sound like mine etc. Also...

Hi folks, As some of you may remember, I have recently acquired a W124 250d LHD. As it has a few issues I was going to replace some parts. Instead of getting loads of separate parts I have bought (on ebay) a W124 230E RHD that I will use as a donor and later re-sale or scrap...

Hello Has anyone bothered to change the interior bulbs to the LED types and if so any benifit? pics before and after? I keep toying with the idea of swapping my car and then come back to the idea its very good and see no point swapping for the same but newer. So keep thinking of things I...

Does anyone know if you can fit the later type W210 (more rounded) door mirrors with indicators to an early W210 (1996) My passenger side folding mirror blows the fuse when you try to fold them in and the mirror glass is discoloured too. I have the chance of purchasing a pair of folding and...

I'm swapping the driver's and passenger leather seat covers on my W201, as the passenger seat is like new and the driver's seat has had a lot of use. The passenger seat has the armrest fitted. I don't have a socket big enough to fit the large nut that secures the armrest to the seat frame...

Is it possible to fit my 1995 W124 E300 Diesel with a multi-function stalk from a left hand drive car at reasonable cost? The stalks often come up on German eBay and I wondered if fitting one would be reasonably easy, and what parts I would need apart from the stalk and its wiring harness. The...

I know this topic has been discussed before but I am just curious about? If this mod is worth doing or not? My friend wants to sell me a set of front calipers but I am not sure if I will get any improvement in braking? Only improvement is the visual looks! So is it worth doing this...

I've got a whacky idea. I wanna change my outer doorhandles to colorcoded ones. Does doorhandles from a 210 E class fit? I hope they are bolt on? I think it's better to get factory painted doorhandles than taking of my stock black ones and give em' to the paintshop so the paintshop...

...is it possible to swap the trim around the main switchpack (ESP, Door locks, heated seats etc section)? I can get hold of a new switchpack but the trim is silver alu, my car has the darker metal with horizontal groves and was wondering if I could just swap the trim pieces over?

Anyone else find they're looking in the wrong places for key controls when moving from one car to another? I spent a few days driving around in Mrs PXW's Lexus. Got back into my merc and stood for a second or two wondering why I couldn't open the door before remembering that I don't have keyless...

Subject to approval from work (which I do not anticipate being a problem) I'll be picking up a E220 CDi AvantGarde on an 06 plate next week. Pretty much what I wanted except it's not leather. It's Iridium Silver (Sorry Ian!) with Anthracite and I'll post details later in the week. Also debadged...

With all the threads in the last day or so about fitting new tyres. What's the general view about swapping wheels around to even out tyre wear. Is there an overall gain in tyre life to justify all the jacking and wheel humping?
