    Seat wear - 2 years old

    I noticed today that the finish has started to come off the side bolster of my drivers seat. At 16000miles and 2 years I think it is poor and will take it up with the dealer and no doubt Mercedes will reject a warranty claim. I am not a bloater and clean/feed the seats regularly with...

    Brake pad wear sensors- do I have them and do I need to change them?

    Hi might be a bit of a bone question but does the w211 have wear sensors as standard? And do I need to change them with the pads? Also can you trust them or will I be damaging my discs by the time they activate?

    Right the other day the brake wear indicator come on, I went round and checked all the pads but all of them only look half worn. Is it normal for them to trigger early?

    Brake wear message

    Hi all, C200 W203 2006 I changed my brake pads front and rear but the new set didn't have a sensor wired in, whereas one of the pads on the front that I removed did have. Since then I have had a brake wear message up. Is there a trick to fool the sensor wiring into thinking it has one fitted...

    P & A Motor Vehicles – Sunderland, Tyne & Wear

    Has anyone had dealings with this particular car dealer? I thought I should post a note of my experience of these dodgy guys. I was going to buy a SL350 from them, but as they were in Sunderland, and I was in London, I had the car inspected by the RAC before I actually saw it. No point of...

    Help Please- abnormal tyre wear

    Help please. I have a 2008 C320cdi Sport. In Feb 2010 I had an accident which required replacement of both rear alloys and rear suspension. This was done through my insurance company at an approved Mercedes repair centre. At that stage I was doing fairly low mileage (approx 5000 miles/year). In...

    Typical tyre wear - scrubbing the inside edges?

    Hi, I've bought a 2nd hand set of 16" wheels and tyres for my car, which came off the same model car (W211). The wheels and tyres are in great condition with ~6mm tread on the Continental tyres. However, 2 of the tyres have slightly more wear on the inside edges. My question is this...

    Very bad inner tyre wear

    Hi Guys, I have a 53 plate C180K estate and the rear tyres are both worn right down on the inside. The rest of the tread is OK, its almost like it is only rolling on 10% of the tyre. I would say they have not done much more than 10K. I have a number of bushes replaced last year. As you look...

    I had two new front tyres fitted yesterday and noticed my front pads were a bit low. So i ordered a new set from Eurocarparts (with the mbclub discount :thumb:) and fitted them this afternoon but noticed that i only have a wear sensor on the nearside front ? The wiring seems to be in place up to...
