trip

Hi All, Here’s my E300d, 1996, Non turbo, 120k miles. It’s got the usual w210 rust problems, but not as bad as some others that I’ve owned, in particular, there is no problem on the door tops, and the area around the headlights seems free of invasion. The thing that makes it stand out...

Firstly after arriving in Pooley Bridge on Ullswater it was decided it was beer and BBQ day. I took a few shots of the lake around the campsite and ate and drank through the day till dark. You can see it’s a rather splendid view As it got Darker...

On Sunday I took a trip up to Perth via the southside of Glasgow to pick up a pal for Lunch. Lunch needless to say was splendid and enjoyable. The weather was lovely, 20c + and I wanted to see the most efficiency I could get for the car, as we took the boring way up, so wanted to save fuel...

I went to the above dealership today as I am still under tier 1 warranty for a B service and to look at a few things. I arrived in there just after 9am and presented myself at reception. I was taken over to the service desk. The advisor was courteous and polite and had the "job card" ready...

ok, so just like it say, everytime i turn my car on, the trip meter resets itself to 0 miles and the clock resets itself to 12:00am. If this a fuse problem or some sort of battery issue? Also, my SRS light came on and someone had suggested looking under the seat at the wiring, to which i found...

One of my trips to France before christmas was in the C55. As I had a Tom Tom (for use in the van) I took it with me and decided to use both to see how they compared to each other. Putting aside the asthetics of trailing wires and separate screens, here is how they performed. The comand...

Could anyone tell me how you do it?, so I can see how many miles I get to a tank of fuel, how long a particular journey is etc.

Is thoroughly recommended. Its a beautiful place. My friend now lives there so I went down to see him for some Lunch and dinner and a wee day trip. Lunch was a nice Roast Pork belly with mash at the Pitcher and Piano pub, then onto Nandos for dinner. To say it was a good day...

It seems like 2010 was the year for roadtrips to Spain what with ***, DRUK and Carnut13 all driving around the place. While Angie and I have toured Spain a few times on a motorcycle, September saw us do our first trip there on four wheels when we took her SLK over and toured around a few...

Hi all have just had a new dashboard fitted to the w220 and all seemed well till this morning when the trip display went all 'the matrix' on me with horizontal lines down the screen (could still see the information behind the lines) parked the car up then came back after sometime and it appeared...

Hi Well guys i cheated, i posted the poll http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/general-discussion/92041-would-you-attempt-3000-mile-trip-e300td.html after i had successfully made the trip and I am glad to see you are nearly all on my side. 36 said they would with only 2 saying they wouldnt go for...

Hi Just looking for general consensus of opinion. Would you consider a trip from Belfast to Lake Garda via Stranraer/Dover/Calais/Basel/Garda and home through Stelvio Pass and Mercedes Museum in Stuttgart? By the way there would be a wife and 5 kids on board too!! 230K

Myself and my wife returned from our Italian road trip this morning and to be honest we would recommend to anyone that can do it, to do it! Very tired after 3500 miles in just under 3 weeks and my car has never been so dirty,but thats tomorrows job. So i'm now sorting through pics and will post...

Drove down to South Wales last week and on the way saw 47mpg after the first 200 miles. After 1350 miles of mainly motorway with the rest urban trips the average ended up at just over 45 mpg. Very pleased as my day to day driving gives me just 35 mpg.:D

Hi 211 owners A quick COMAND question (well I think this is a COMAND function - but maybe not). Can anyone advise me how to re-set the computer read out in the speedo - the one that gives you driving time/miles/mpg? I read the manual and there was an option to "reset everything" using the...

Hello All I have a couple of questions about the different versions of the E240 automatics please. I am currently seriously looking to buy a 1999 E240 Auto. I have had a quick look at it, and then tried to get extra details from Parkers and Wisebuyers but my first problem was...

Hi, I'm a newbie here and would like some advice please. I'm looking for detailed information on how to retrofit a trip computer to my newly acquired 2003 ML270 Inspiration, e.g what's needed and how is it fitted. I believe this topic has been referred to previously, but I can't find the...
