    s203 rear wiper hatch trim removal?

    I decided to have a go and try to repair my jammed rear wiper. I've managed to get the motor assembly out, removed the armature cover and armature but can't see how I can remove the gearbox cover itself. I'm reluctant to apply too much pressure to the cover plate as the right angled water inlet...

    w203 Engine hunting?

    Just bought one of these and my engine hunts but only when first started from cold, couple of quick blips on the throttle and it settles down and runs fine. Having said that, the yellow engine light came on yesterday afternoon but no noticeable alteration in performance or response of the...

    Windows 8?

    Sage Line 50 should run in Windows 8 but you'll probably need to adjust the Compatability Mode Option in the shortcut properties. I've managed to keep a customer's DOS copy of Sage running in W7 with a couple of tweaks and it even prints to an aging Epson dot-matrix printer. Worst case...

    Anybody replaced an iPhone 4 battery?

    Just don't do what one of our customers did to his iphone before bringing it to us for repair. He was removing the screen as he had seen on youtube and this bit of tape was getting in the way so he cut it. Upon reassembling the phone he found that the digitiser/screen no longer worked...

    External hard drive

    Should hold in excess of 50000 songs and still have a load of room to spare. Just checked one of my music folders and found just under 4000 songs occupying 22.5GB Hope that helps.

    Average speed cameras

    Doesn't this mean that any ticket issued using photos of front plates only is invalid as the law is being applied in a discriminatory fashion and hence, illegal?

    homeplug and wireless/SONOS extending

    I've used the Devolo dLAN 200 AV wireless starter kit in several installations and find them fairly good. The benefit of the far end unit is that it has 3 wired outlets and builtin wifi access point so you have no IP addressing/routing problems. Devolo dLAN 200 AV Wireless N Starter Kit...

    Re-loading laptop OS

    If you have problems activating the W7 Upgrade editions from software4students just run the installer again, from within W7, and it will 'upgrade' that copy so that you can activate it without any problems. Going for W98 limits the applications, specially security ones, that you will be able to...

    Thumbs up for indie in Surrey

    I would just like to mention TM Motors in West Molesey, Surrey as a company that appears to still understand customer service and how to do a job properly. My initial contact was by telephone and I impressed by the manner with which my query was dealt with and the subsequent visit to sort out...

    Fathers Day

    At MBWorld I overheard a father telling his very young daughter that she could buy him a ride in one of the cars for Father's Day next year. We too got a ride in the Unimog fire appliance and now the wife wants one of those too.

    125th Anniversary Event @ Mercedes Benz World, Brooklands

    Dont' know if anybody managed to get to MBW today but Mauro Calo managed to break the world record for power sliding and he did it in a C63. The tyre finally shredded as he past the line on his 8th lap but the Guinness officials said he succeeded so well done to him. Managed to get this video...

    Saw the oddest thing today on a Merc

    The pictures look intriguing but could look foul in reality :confused: I think the comment of bizzare/cool might be the most appropriate at the moment. Moment passed ..... Think I might give them a miss and put the money towards another refurbised alloy wheel.
