not trying to advertise since you ask, Propel is known for used conti spare parts, I did ask for quote but have not bought anything from them.  >>> Propel Auto Parts Pte Ltd Tel : 6368 1686
refer to this link if you want to buy new one. You can ask them for a quote. Email to them would work as well if you do not have time pressure, include your VIN number if you want to be even more precise. It is located on the driver side B pillar. But for NTG 4.7, i dont think you need VIN number.

@Ct3833 frankly they reply from my asking for parts. Very fast n god service. Also managed to find my head unit. Not 100% if can use. But the service is there. Price is ok lah. Not the cheapest but reasonable.

Hi, glad that you get a response on what you need. What you can do is, to ask a few of those stockists that i provided the link with for a quote as well, if the new unit price is not too expensive than used, might as well get a new one. One reason I have not bought from Propel is mainly their price, but they serve as a good alterantive supply for spare parts.

Thanks for the help!!!

hope I can settled the head unit

anyone keen to have these parking sensors ?

A2125420018 - 4 units. these are for the two center front  sensors

A2125420118 - 2 units. these are for left or right two sensors. 

W212 has 6 sensors in front, the center two and the side 4 are of different part numbers. I believe the same sensors can be used on many other models as well.  have both of them. Free for MCFers but self pick up. I have placed them in carousell and sgmerc on sale. they are sprayed to grey color. If your car is of other color, I can refer you to spray paint shop to get it done according to your color code. Just need the VIN number.

haha wah thank for your kind offer! yah that M271 last for a decade or more, it serves as a base engine for many models.  I didnt do much of add on except for wear and tear replacement. Just that recently bought excess sensors, it is why letting it go. In addition to selling it in carousell or sgmerc, hoping to share the parts with MCFers here. 

Thanks once again. so you are upgrading to?

Glad to join this forum😃. Just sharing my newbie on-boarding experience having bought a 2010 avant garde E250 two weeks ago for $9.4k annual depre. Slightly higher than mkt price due to C&C service history, one ownership transfer and panaromic roof.

 

Radiator leaking: replaced

Gearbox flush: done

Brake and steering fluids drain and replace : done 

Diff oil drain and replace : done 

Lower arm links: replaced

Rotors and pads : replaced 

Water pump: replaced

Insect fumigation (guy from carousel) : done 

Interior steam clean (Daimler's vendor) : done

Steering wheel : replaced with pedal shifter wheel for fun and the improved looks 

Wooden throttle response and retarded gear shifts:  improved with a plug-in that works beautifully 

Interior trims: reserved a full set with Propel. Waiting for their next w212 slaughter 

10" Android 11, 360 cam and 4 speakers : ordered

New set of carpets : ordered

ADON window shades: ordered

Dynamat sound dampening  : ordered

Damages so far around $9k ish. Despite its age, this car is nice to drive, well built, and comfortable. Parts are easily available and lots of advice can be found here in this forum. As a new owner of a w212, I will strongly recommend a w212 to anyone who's in the market for a used car while waiting for the next COE down-cycle. Take your time to check out the available units in Sgcarmart and you will be able to secure a good deal that will serve you well for the next decade. Happy motoring!🤠

Some of the items you spent are nice to have,  so by right  you can do with much less than 9k, the steering would have costed you 1k ?

By the way the interior trim are those wood-like panels? How sure are your that propel ones will not fade since they are also taking from used cars.

I rather order from overseas or just buy brand new than from propel. Their prices can be almost like a brand new part for some parts.

Yeah man. Actually it only cost $3k ish to fix the mechanicals. To me it's a very reasonable price for such a solid car. The rest I spent was just for driving pleasure, really optional😝. As for the trim, I ordered from Propel via WhatsApp and the trim set was then delivered to the workshop while my car was there. The workshop boss checked and found two panels faded. They sent it back to Propel and Propel refunded me that night. They promised to keep the set for me and wait for the next w212 with matching trim on the two faded panels then check with me if I still want. Not bad service leh really. Thumbs-up for the customer experience 👍

I couldn't find anything complete and suitable (pre-FL, RH drive) based on my limited search online, so Propel was the next easiest and time-saving option for me. I picked up some of the stockists' names that you guys have shared earlier and will check with them once I have some time 😁
