More flexible gears. This is the first auto box I've owned and I'm not really liking its decision making. I know the latter models had a tiptronic style changer and I wish mine had it too. I always seem to be in a gear too low and I know I could floor it but the kickdown is too severe. If...

My car, a V220. On the dash it has the normal row of lights and stuff, but the EDC light and the abs light have been reversed. By this i mean somebody did a fairly 'hack the sh1t out of it' job . They cut the piece of black plastic out and swapped them. So i just idley wondered if anybody...

I hope that this is true! Just had one of the worst weekends of my life. Came home on Friday night, went to get a take away and as I was reversing there were some horrible noises from the back of the E55. Stopped and got out had a lokk and suddenly the back tyre when down fast! Had the wheel off...

Righty, How can I get the parts chappy at my dealer to find a part that wasn't fitted to my car during build? To explain... I want to buy an Upper Control Panel for my W209 that contains in addition to the normal switches, the blocks for seat heat. Unfortunately, he is having trouble...

I recently posted something on PistonHeads about driving lights, and someone piped up with an Off Topic conversation. Even though it's a question about Audis, I reference the Mercedes and this chap simply comes back with an unknowledgable reply. OK, we get information wrong every now again, but...

Hi all, finally decided that it was time to leave the XJ8 at home and bought a 270 in August for my fairly frequent when-I'm-not-working-from-home commute. Bought it from a MB specialist it was a one private owner main dealer trade in, overall very nice and very well speced, 68k. The...

I need to get valuations for a few vehicles owned by my girlfriend's grandfather who sadly passed away last month. Unfortunately, they're too old for any of the online valuation guides, and one of them is erm, really old. Firstly, his 300SL. I have the vin for this if anyone can decode it...

Hi all, Got a CLK recently, - 6 Speed Tiptronic Box. I need to clear a few questions up. When I start the car in the morning first thing after the car has not been driven all night, To engage the gear I press the brake and put the box into reverse. When I do this the screen says R --> 0...

I'm just wondering what things can be done with a W211 (without Comand)? Auto-Folding mirrors possible? Any other tricks?

Hey there all, I've got a few things going on with my S320cdi (06) w221. I've always had a problem with creaking noises which I think is coming from the windshield seals and/or dashboad region. About 2 weeks ago; I noticed my heating just not working well at all. It used to take about 30...

Hi peeps, I am thinking of buying a 3(ish) year old CLK55 with up to 45k miles, as from what I can see they are a bit of a steal at the current prices. Can anyone advise on things I should look for? Anything that might be getting a bit worn at that age that may be costly to repair in the...

Hello, Having come to a W124 200TE, from a heavily electronically managed Vauxhall Omega 2.0 16 Valve, which had numerous sensors, catalyst, coil pack etc etc, to a Bosch KE Jetronic, non catalyst Mercedes estate, it's nice to know that sometimes the most drastic of faults, are the simplest to...
