    Airpanel is listed on VIN code but .......

    But mine isn't the external fins that move like the traditional rads do. Must be internal fins I assume. Will take a look this pm.

    Airpanel is listed on VIN code but .......

    Thanks for that. So it isn't the grilles at the front that moves, but behind it and in front of the cooling radiator? G

    Airpanel is listed on VIN code but .......

    Blobcat, Which radiator grille did you W213 have please - my S213 has this one. I am assuming it had multiple louvres. Regards G PS Do you know why it says "Active Senior Members" (as in plural) under my Avatar please?

    Airpanel is listed on VIN code but .......

    Wondering if it is not the whole grille (as was originally shown on C Class 2014) but just the bit below the number plate. G

    Airpanel is listed on VIN code but .......

    Is it quite common for an entry to be in the VIN codes listing but not actually present on the car? G

    How many watts does a UV Light need to be to kill viruses?

    NB. Such pond UVs do need to be enclosed (in fact they are designed not to light unless a safety lug is engaged) - eye damage is guaranteed otherwise. G

    Wheel cleaner recommendations

    Raceglaze IronPro cleaner, wash and rinse followed by Raceglaze Nano Sealant. The IronPro also has a "distinctive" aroma. Not hard work at all. G

    Help! Water spots!

    I can vouch for the effectiveness of the water filters referred to on post #8. However, rinsing my car off with water from our domestic water softener also works - just fill 2 x 5 gallon Meguiars yellow buckets and use a spare shower pump does the trick. G

    Airpanel is listed on VIN code but .......

    My E400d says Airpanel in the VIN code readout but I don't think it has one. Anyone else think the same? G

    Mercedes Me / MB Connect

    If you have BT Wi-fi (not Bluetooth) it works over a much greater range than Bluetooth manages.

    W209 2008 CLK320 CDI - Dead Battery - Window Reset

    Have seen reports of issues after using the Recond setting of a CTEK caused by higher voltage used (15.8V which is known to kill AGM batts) on the electronics if applied to an in-situ battery.

    One out of three rear head restraints

    My 2005 S211 was the same - just the centre one (for visibility I assumed). Ironically, on my '68 E400d estate it's only the outside ones that drop - so, not the middle one. G

    E Class with OM654 Diesel Engine

    I appreciate the car has Active Body Control which probably helps but I would think yours does to.

    E Class with OM654 Diesel Engine

    They really are amazing - but expensive. I was able to test out a CLS 400d with them on 20" which led to me ordering on mine.

    E Class with OM654 Diesel Engine

    My dealership lent me a GLE for the day when mine was in for servicing. Ironically, I had considered a GLE 350 before ordering the E400d - have to say I was disappointed with it as the ride was far too jittery, rolled a lot in corners and did not feel overly stable.

    E Class with OM654 Diesel Engine

    Exceeded expectations by a mile would be my response. I was thinking E63 but no good for pulling a caravan - also, given a colleagues reaction (uncomfortable and noisy not compensated for by performance) I'm glad I didn't .
