I've replaced 4 tyres in the last 4 months from pothole damage and also lapse of attention when I hit a kerb pretty fast. Since then I have noticed a rotational noise which I don't think was there before. Thought it might be a wheel bearing or damage to wheel but have had the the wheels...

Thanks all - Autosol has been the most effective yet but I would need to spend much, much longer....definitely a design issue I think.

The paintwork on my vehicle has not been polished or detailed since new as far as I know, so am about to start the process and will clean and clay the paintwork before polishing but the window surround trim is very mottled (see attached) so tried a small area with both Autoglym Paint Renovator...

Thanks for your response Steve - Autoglass say they have the replacement glass and are due to fit it tomorrow and appear confident that they have the correct spec and know what they are doing but they are still waiting for insurers payment validation.

The rear fixed panel of my panoramic roof shattered on Monday after a glancing blow from a stone flicked up by a passing truck. It's still in place and taped up externally so it won't fall out and I can drive the car. I called Admiral insurers and they said it was covered and transferred me...

Thanks for both replies, sounds like a saving is in order.

Mine detects pressure loss but in this instance the warning is that the specific tyre pressure monitor is 'missing' ie either the battery has failed or the monitor/ sensor. In either ecent i ghink it means replacement.

I just had a warning that one of the tyre (wheel) pressure monitors has failed and I understand that the batteries on these are not replaceable. I got a quote for replacing one from a reliable tyre specialist I've used and they've quoted £83 inc VAT to fit genuine Mercedes TPMS valve, seal and...

Thanks everyone for the replies, as I thought basically, better to change it. I want to keep it and would have been happy to keep the w210 but it was a 2001 year and one of the rust buckets and I didn't want to face a total failure. It had become very noisy and I sold it to a Merc commercial...

The service schedule for my 2015 E350 Bluetec doesn't indicate an oil change for the Code HA axle although the Code 471 and Code P30 axles both require an oil change every 31k miles or 3 years. I've done 75k miles and have changed the axle oil because the diff on my old W210 estate failed at...

Just run another scan and the AP200 does not recognise the module even though it generates a fault code. I have emailed a report to them to ask if they have a firmware update. Meanwhile I have managed to clear the fault code. I don't detect any difference driving or performance and so will try...

Thanks again for the response. I'd found this breakdown of the code from an MB Sprinter link online so I guess it's similar, but not specific. What I was trying to find was more information about the MAF unit as it's available as an exchange and the main body is just a plastic moulding with...

Thank you - I've got the AP200 and done a scan and found a few things I can sort out (batteries in tyre pressure sensors etc.) and most codes I've cleared and are not current but there is a code P010C38 which is noted as 'Motor Electronics (ME) 'SIM271DE20" for combustion engine 'M271EVO' I...

Engine management light has come on and I asked my independent to read it when I collected our Polo from service. They said its a MAF error code which they cleared and that lasted for a couple of days but has now returned so clearly needs sorting out. I've check price and it's over £700 from...

This is a long shot but I wondered if anyone can recommend a book of great drives or routes in UK or Europe I can give as a present to a friend who loves driving? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Malcolm. I had seen it but wasn't sure and will contact them

There are two recessed aluminium rails in the boot of the car and MB say the car originally had a cargo/luggage net (the one which lays flat on the boot floor) but the previous owner must have lost it. I'm trying to find the part number for a replacement net and the clips or other fittings...

I made a formal complaint about MB at the last service and although they did resolve the issues I think I have soured my relationship with them and may change to another dealer. Alex Foti will do all the main stuff on the car but I signed up to a service plan to maintain history not knowing...

My mistake Gad cannot remap the transmission ECU

Thanks again Wighty. I've spoken to Alex and the car's going to him next week to sort out a sticky panoramic roof but he said his remap person could not do the transmission ECU and when I discussed a remap with GAD he said that they did both.
