    An update........ there is no metal clip on my 2004 R230 door mirror glass, it really is just a matter of using more brute force. I have now successfully changed the mirror glass :)

    Thanks but I have tried the brute force method with no luck. I have read online that there is a metal clip that should be removed but I can’t see one!

    Battery malfunction reset on R230 SL

    The voltage with the engine running wasn’t stable, I believe it should have jumped to 14v with the engine running so something is wrong with the charging either the alternator or something else associated with it.

    Battery malfunction reset on R230 SL

    This is the first time for me time. I will lookup what I can do to check the alternator. Annoyingly I need to get the cars MOT done as well, hopefully this issue won’t affect the MOT.

    Coding features - mute in reverse gear ?

    My Audi can be configured for a lot of different options using Carista, a few of the options are available on the car as standard but I would say 90% are only available with Carista. I dont think such a thing exists for MB's.

    Thanks. These are for a left hand drive SL, I need the drivers door mirror glass for a right hand drive car. The glass is auto dimming so as usual it will be expensive!

    Is white a show off colour on a car.

    Back in 1989 I had a brand new BMW520 in white (not my choice). I kept getting asked if I did weddings!

    Another R230 battery question

    I know, we are discussing a flat consumer battery.

    Another R230 battery question

    How flat is flat? My SL500 has started even though the consumer battery was "flat" i.e no parking sensors, no door locks, no seat adjustment, basically nothing worked but the car started.

    What non MB SUV?

    Not me but I do concede the build quality isn't on a par with Mercedes or Audi.

    What non MB SUV?

    I’ve always liked Jeeps, especially the Grand Cherokee. Jeep Compass might be worth a look.
