Hi from Newcastle, England
Hi everyone, I`m new to the forum and to Mercedes-Benz, having purchased a W212 E250 CDI Avantgarde. Not having much luck with it so far with 3 separate engine oil leaks, a failed starter motor, Xenon headlight and engine mounts in the past 5 months so hopefully you guys are full of good technical advice!!

Hi, Yes I have had the work done. Also the DPF went beyond repair as well, so not a good start! I actually dropped by Staithes garage today to enquire about headlight programming. He seems to have a good set up and is very knowledgeable so I think I`ll be using him in the future.

Thanks for all the welcomes guys. Unfortunately after another headlight going and the main dealer being unable to code it to the car I have given up on it and traded it in for a new BMW 520d M sport.
