Location of Battery and Mirror Replacement

[rathbane4]

Hi,

I recentley purchased my first E240 (W210) on a W reg (June 2000). There are three things I need to replace on the car, however, I am having problems in locating /accessing the items.
Can anyone please offer some advice?

1. In the manual it states the battery is in the right hand recess of the boot. I have checked everywhere in the boot but cant locate the battery.

2. The OS wing mirror glass requires replacing but I cant see how it is released from the housing.

3. The indicator bulb on the OS wing mirror housing needs replacing but I cant see how to release the lens cover.

Any advice or assitance would be gratefully appreciated.

Best Regards,

I can only reply on a couple of items.

W210 battery is under the rear seat base. Theres a small white handle each side of the seat base at the bottom edge. Press these in to unclip the base front edge. The base will be relatively easy to remove then. The battery will reside under the polythene cover, right hand side of the car.

Indicator lens on wing mirror? Are you sure that your car's a W210 and not a W211?

I'm sure that there's a forum thread covering glass removal and lamp replacement. Have a look.

Hi Brandwooddixon,

Many thanks for your reply, have located the battery following your advice.

The car is a W210 with indicator lights in the Wing Mirror Housing.

Once again many thanks.
