Hi
I rencently sold my s211 e200 estate and want to replace it with one with a bigger engine and full beige interior.
E280 or upwards, ideally E320, petrol or diesel is fine, but I am quite insistent on a full beige leather interior, not black or grey.
If anyone has one they might want to...
The automatic tailgate does not open. It starts to open, but then stops just after a few centimetres, as if the motor is not strong enough to open it completely.
Any suggestions what might be the problem?

Have a S211.222, E320 CDI, 2006.
There is a fault code on the Heater booster:
It is not active, but it reappears after reset.
Could it be connected to that the battery went low and I haven't recharged it properly after that?
Hi,
I wish to regularly remove the front passenger head rest so that I can lay the interior as flat as possible for long loads. (Windsurf boards to be exact) The head rest stops the seat from going flat, it just over laps the the top of the back seat when folded down.
I have removed the...
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...
Ok Fellas,
My beloved E320 is behaving strangely. Occasionally (twice in the last three weeks and once at Christmas) I'm losing kickdown mid journey. Car will only then accelerate very slowly and not much past 50mph. Switch off and switch on and bingo - normal service resumed.
She's...
Hello, first time on forum having just brought a 2006 E280 Estate (S211)
I am looking at loading skis in and despite the cavernous boot I need more room.
I did see a thread on "Option 287 through loading feature" ie being able to put skis (or any long object) through the rear arm rest...

Hi everyone,
I am new member to this forum. 2 Weeks ago I purchased my first ever mercedes, an 2003 (53 Plate) E220 211 estate. It has 124k on the clock.
I have noticed that when I put the car into reverse, a warning message appears on the dashboard. This only happens when I put it into...
I have just bought an early 2008 E220CDI estate to replace my rusting 2001 version. The new one has a terrible vibration which I think comes from the propshaft as I had a similar issue with the old one some years back.
I cannot find out what propshafts will fit. Mine is a 5 speed auto tip...
I have a late 2006 E Class 280cdi elegance estate with 125,000 miles.
The back end is stuck at its fullest height after it had passed over a series of speed bumps whilst lightly laden.
No amount of coaxing will return it to normal height. It is jacked up at a comic angle and the tyres leave...
I had my front balljoints and n/s/f lower control arm replaced by an indie a few weeks ago.
Parking up in the garage last night, child#1 says "Daddy, your car's leaking oil". A brief inspection confirms that the o/s/f lower control arm fluid-filled bush has just let go and shed its fluid over...
My driver's seat always seems to have a bit of fore-aft play in it, no matter where it's positioned — as if the "teeth" on the rail have too much gap between them. The movement is only around ¼" (6mm for the youngsters).
As the seat movement has some friction in it, this doesn't cause an...
I've just replaced the front discs on my S211 with Pagid ones from ECP (great price & service btw, thanks!).
One of the discs came off with no problem, but the other was firmly stuck to the hub. Most of the internet seemed to be advocating the use of successively larger hammers to remove it...
