Any help or advice greatly appreciated here. I was driving on the motorway this evening and the 2 dome lights, and the two map lights under my rear view mirror, started flashing about twice a second. I stopped the car and pressed all the light switches etc and locked the car, nothing seems to...

Hi, I have recently purchased MIP and found when i plug in the MIP USB interface, the MIP plus related menus are no longer shown while a USB is inseted into the USB adapter. It seems that either Media Interface Plus or USB cable with USB memory can be used but not at same time. Both...

Hi all, This is my first foray into Mercedes ownership, back in June I bought a tidy lowish mileage 2001 CL500, this was bought with the intention of being a project car which I will work my way through with a fine toothed comb and restore to close to as new condition as possible, and hold...

I was at MSL again today for some upgrade work namely SLS valve buckets, ARP Cam phaser bolts and ARP head studs. A lot of fiddly work especially resetting the timing and to get it spot on, hats off to Adrian who had it spot on with the first attempt. But all in all a good days works just to...

I got rid of my last Mercedes in Nov 2008 having had a very disappointing experience (E320 W210 - corrosion and broken engine!). I am now considering rejoining the clan. I have been looking at buying a new E class estate in order for me to have the colour and options I want. But have just...

Picture the scene… I go to the garage and start the car .. check the clock 7.15 all is well. I drive out to the front door to pick up SWMBO and now the clock says 13.05. My drive is 50 feet long and doesn’t cross any international time zones…. I can correct the clock but only by the...

Hi there! My name is Will and I've recently just invested in a 2000 W202 C200 Kompressor and I want to do a few tuning bits to it so I can get more ponies. As some of you may know for tax and emissions regulations here in the UK the C200K (M111.943 I believe) was throttled back from 190 ish...

Hi all, Been considering a used M Class for a while now but can't find a good spec low milage etc. So been talking to couple of local dealers to see if they can source something. As you've guess, they've raved on about getting a new car for less than a used one blah blah blah. Of course this is...
