    S203 reversing USB camera

    Senior moment.... Apologies to all, don't know where the USB bit crept in !!! Phono type connector or bare wire (easier to thread through the tailgate boot) would be ideal.. Many thanks

    C250TD 1997 R reg spares/repairs

    Hi All A few months ago, our trusty C250TD Estate spat it's offside front suspension spring bringing to an end a long, trouble free and happy ownership. If anyone is interested in taking the car off me for a token sum, I'll be happy to let it go rather than sending it to the scrapyard...

    C250td battery ok but car electrically dead

    update... finally failed at home so had time to have a good look. Turned out to be VERY high resistance between the +ve clamp and +ve post!!! Took the clamp off to reveal a thin concentric band of 'crud' between the clamp and the post that has built up over many years. All cleaned and...

    C250td battery ok but car electrically dead

    Thank you Ted, will put that into practice as soon as the problem re manifests itself as at present all was well on the way home - the curse of intermittent faults, SOD has a lot to answer to :-) If anything, I suspect a supply issue as the problem was the same with jumper leads (direct connect...

    Do you use the speedtronic limiter?

    Depending on speed reduction - but defo uses the gearbox as the revs go up (change down) but not sure if it uses brakes or fuel management or both for minor corrections

    W203 Air con gas leak

    Thank you all andy27168: that rules compressed air then so back to the drawing board ;-) Stratman: I'll have to have a good shufty and see if I can see any visual indications. brucemillar: I hear what you say (post #2) but due to reasons mentioned earlier, I am unable to pressurise...

    W203 Air con gas leak

    Totally agree E55BOF, which is what I said. I could only charge the low pressure side of the system up to the compressor and as soon as the A/C is switched on, the pressure quickly decays indicating a high loss downstream of the compressor, and as such the dye I introduced in the system has...

    W203 Air con gas leak

    Davo... while researching places that did AC re-gas, I am sure I read somewhere in the small print that leak sealant would not work if there was a large leak as only effective for small leaks past dry seals etc... but for 20 quid I suppose it worth the try.

    W203 Air con gas leak

    Thank you both... In my case, all was well and ice cool during the hot spell we just had (seems like years ago now:o) and suddenly one day there was a drop of almost 50% efficiency followed by no cooling at all the next day. Took it for a quick re-gas and was told that they could not do it as...

    Emergency key

    Gain access to the car via the flat blade key, insert the plastic key into the ignition switch to silence the alarm and start the car as normal, in essence it does all the normal key functions bar REMOTE lock/unlock/mobilise/immobilise and thin enough to slip into a wallet or hide as DEC...

    Emergency key

    Thank you Dec / modelman093 - good idea that and certainly will pop into the stealership and enquire, though I fear a Sharp Intake of Breath from MY local dealership !

    W203 Air con gas leak

    Hi again... Could a STAR diag machine pinpoint source of a gas leak at component level, ie condenser, pump etc? I have a leak and can't locate it with dye as not able to pressurise the system sufficiently via a canister due to the large escape of the refrigerant and the short operation of the...

    Emergency key

    Hi Everyone... Our c250TD (W202) has 3 keys, 2 normal and one flat emergency key which is very easy to carry in a wallet etc and was just wondering if such a beast exists for a C270 (W203) as it is not even mentioned in the handbook, and if available, any idea of the cost ?. Many thanks
