E class 211 estate

Well suppose I need to start a new thread name! Picked up this today. Seen it in the morning online and was down there this afternoon. Loads of history and had it off original owner. Mileage a bit higher than I wanted but not too bad. Long journeys to european holiday home.

Has had a bit of work done very recently. Mb ended up paying for most of it. Bit of confusion with the mobilo scheme and a European garage not honouring properly. Mb refunded most of cost after a complaint in UK. So it has had rear suspension done and is now on its first fuel pump. First one lasted 6 years then had another within the last year.

I will look into it more when I have time but am I right in thinking if we stay with main dealer for service we will benefit from continued coverage on mobilo?

Only niggle so far is centre button not doing anything when twirling. It does move the selector when pushing side to side though. Does it need a new unit or is it a problem with the settings?

Classy looking wagon - enjoy!
The central controller problem is a relatively common issue and can be fixed with a cheap eBay kit that replaces the plastic spindle with an aluminium one.
 
Thanks yeh I did a search and came across it mentioned. Will have to put it on my list. Not super urgent.
The seller said the rear subframe had been done too
