When the Service Adviser tells you their towing service will pick up your Mercedes... This is what REALLY happens: brand new mercedes no keys in Carrier Towing Forum Think of them as Legalized Car thieves. 'Over 60% HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT THEY'RE DOING!

Bit of a pickle here... I may be buying an older lady tonight, as a project for the coming weeks... that said, while she has an MOT, Road tax (and will be insured by the time I get there) the water pump is leaking. The distance I need to drive is roughly Luton -> Heathrow... Now, my options...

Not suprisingly, my Merc came 2nd hand with no Comand disk, no manuals and the toolkit with the spare wheel well and truly plundered. They did leave the wheelbrace, jack, air in the tyres and key for the locking wheelnuts however. I also have a collection of 6 Indian music CDs and CDRs that were...

I tow a Twin axle caravan (Loaded approx 1900kg) with a 4x4 but I am thinking the W211 (2100kg tow cap) would may be a better choice. I would think it will be a bit easier on the syrup:thumb: So if any member can give me some info re the Towing capabilities / advantages of the E220 W211...

Hi Guys, i have heard that an oil cooler is required if towing a caravan with an W210, E300D R Reg? Is it required or just a nicety? Any advice would be greatly apreciated. Also, if it is the case what would it cost and what model would members suggest?
