    Does this E320 (2004 S211) have air suspension that can fail a-la-Airmatic?

    Hello, I have read here and there that S211 have rear suspension leveling, even if they don't have the airmatic option. Is that true? And if yes, does it fail like the Airmatic suspension? Is it as expensive to fix? If that is the case, it means that it is really not interesting to buy...

    Slipping feeling when pulling hard

    My E320 w210 cdi. Used to be a dream accelerating, when I really floored it would rev up easily and fly off. Ever since one day of driving it hard and pulling, it's started to do this slipping type thing. It always happens at 2.5 to 3k revs when really flooring it. It feels like a slipping...

    Aren't mercedes fun

    And that's said with a tint of sarcasm. This is not a plea for help just a chance to share experiences. Well I have bagged myself a S210 E320 CDI for a measly £400ish I say that as much is being spent on her. And I absolutely love her. As far as I've driven her, which is about 4 miles and...

    Both indicators flashing fast, all bulbs fine.

    I managed to fix my left side repeater on the wingmirror, I originally thought was the cause but it seems not. All repeaters/bulbs etc in the whole car now work fine, I've changed the ones that were wrong. Although the dash still comes up as defective light. There seems to be no obvious...

    W210 lowering woops

    Well guys I messed up. I tried fitting the springs I bought that I made a thread about earlier. Neither of them fit, the pigtails are wrong sized and the rear ones are too wide. In a stupid moment of spontaneousness I cut the rear springs by 2 coils instead thinking it wouldn't be so bad...
