cap

Did the utterly dumb thing today of not putting my fuel cap back on having filled up with some well priced petrol, and then drove 60miles. Noticed the traffic fumes seemed to be strong and they got more petrolly so when I parked checked the filler cap to find it gone. Apart from wasting fuel...

Hi - I hope I can pick someone's brain. Went to look at a 2001 S500 for sale today. It has just over 100k on the engine. When I had a look at the oil filler cap, there was a faint hint of yellowish/white on the inside of the cap. I've seen much worse in the past on other cars. This was just...

The oil filler cap is leaking on my 124 300e. Is the only place to get a replacement a main dealer or are they available elswhere?

Hi, I have a W203 C Class Sports Coupe 220CDI (2004, facelifted edn). Took it for a long journey today, after about 1 1/2 hours I smelled burning oil, pulled over and lifted the bonnet. All around the filler cap area, and splashed over the engine cover and up onto the 'lining' of the bonnet...

Just had a big shock at Merc dealers who say they want £120 for dizzy cap and rotor arm for a W126 280 se (year 1981) Euro car parts have quoted £25 for both. However they needed a Merc part number as apparently there are three different caps available. Merc however will not disclose part...

Just got the car back from having a new water pump fitted. Noticed a stray tube coming from the radiator cap, which the mechanic told me was simply an overflow. I hadn't noticed this before... On the way home I've noticed the coolant level light coming on, never seen this happen before. I know...

I'm thinking of changing ISP as I'm fed up with paying AOL £18 per month for a slow service (up to 2mb) & software which slows down my old pc. My line/exchange can only support 6.5mb. I'm looking at Sky's mid range package with 8mb speed & 40gb monthly allowance at a cost of £5 per month. I...

I read this recently while abroad. If you look at your petrol gauge , you will see a small icon of a petrol pump. The handle of the petrol pump will extend out on either the left or right side of the gas pump. If your fuel tank filler cap is on the left of the car, the handle will be on the...

Hey all, I was looking though the gallery and noticed that a member has a cap for the bootlock (w202). I went into the dealers today for a new locking nut key, and asked about them at the same time, however they said there was no such part... Any idea what the part number for them would be?
