Were there four of them?

When I changed my battery I clipped a battery charger across the terminals while I did it so the car never lost 12v.

The M278 is the 4.7 V8 twin turbo as used in the S500 saloon. Mine had a rattle for quite a while at about 80,000 miles which got worse until it put up an engine light. Needed new chains and tensioners which was over £4000 at an indie , but bought the car pretty cheap and was prepared for the...

Looks fantastic. Just get rid of those locking wheel nuts before they seize on and risk damage to the wheels trying to undo them

Mobilo only gets renewed if you have a dealer service

Same problem as me, My traffic info has expired and Mercedes say that it has to be updated via Mercedes me. My 2014 car only ever had the module that plugged in to the Diagnostic port. I gave this back because the location of it meant I kept kicking it so now it looks like I will have to take it...

If you kept all yours that clean you would never get anything else done :)

Hi, Looked this up on the Command website but it is £499 and forces a lot of other things to go via the phone rather than the car system so I guess it is either live with no traffic and old maps or pay up:confused:

Hi, My TomTom traffic subscription has expired and since I don't have a mercedes me module I need to take it in to a main dealer and pay £299 to have a map update and for them to add a Tom Tom licence code. Does anybody know whether I can use bluetooth or plug my phone in to the USB socket and...

We went on an offroad safari trip in Spain a few years back in Jimny soft tops. Amazed at how good they are off road

No solution yet but I am away at the moment so the car isn't being used. Have you looked up your error code?

Good thought but I don't go under the plastic cover anymore so I will wait and see whether it gets worse, thanks anyway

Check that towing is an option on an S class coupe. It isn't on my S222 because of the rear vallance.

Update, Light and misfire again yesterday. Turned off ignition and back on at traffic lights within less than a minute and the light and the misfire had both gone. Looks like one of those irritating intermittent faults and I don't want to chase it by randomly replacing parts so will live with...

My S222 has powered ones in the back

I have privacy glass in the back as well as shades on the rear screen and back windows. Helps keep the sun off the leather when parked at home.

Resolution, possibly Had the car serviced a couple of weeks ago and mentioned the problem. They checked the coil pack, lead, plug etc and said they couldn't see a fault. I have since done a few hundred miles and it hasn't happened again. I think (and hope) that it might have been just a loose...

We have/ had the units plugged into the OBD. These shouldn't be affected as they just use bluetooth to whatever your phone is. My module was actually returned because I kept kicking the ****** thing.

Surely not plugs every 5,000!!

Not been using the S500 much since the first error message as we have used my wife's. Took it out today and about 5 miles from home it came on again and could feel the misfire. Pulled over, turned it off waited a minute and then restarted. No engine light and when I plugged in my fault reader...
