How do I remove the instrument cluster? I know that I got to take the plastic surround out first and than undo the bolts underneath but what to do with the reset button which sticks out of the wood panel? Do I have to dismantle the wide wood piece of trim first to get to it?

Is it possible to purchase new black plastic surrounds for the instrument cluster glass lenses? My cluster is suffering from power loss so have removed it to send away for repair but have noticed the clocks plastic surround is broken and the speedo and rev counter plastic is also breaking up...

Hi all Anyone have any recommendations how & where to repair my temperature and clock readouts from on my 2001 E-Class S210? They're hardly readable on mine and having tried several replacement clocks units, they all seem to have an issue with the readouts. Thanks

Hi All, I have recently purchased my first CLK :) But there seems to be an issue with some of the instrument switches. When the ignition is switched on only some of the switches light up. It seems to be random too, it's not all the left or all the right side. All the instruments work and...

Hi my S430 on a 2000 plate is giving me alsorts of grief. The car has a battery drain which I am still trying to locate but in the meantime the parking sensors are showing two red segments, the central locking stopped working but was a fuse now sorted. After fixing the central locking...

Hi everyone and a very Happy New Year to you all. I own a W123 Series D200 (1982) which I have owned and driven for the past 12 years. I am in the process of having her repainted as well as attending to a couple of other items that I have been intending to take care of for a long time. 1. The...

On my S211 2006 the central display backlight disappeared yesterday, only to reappear on the next switch on. A few days ago the cluster clock time was out of sync with the COMAND time, which sync'd when I changed the time. Is this an emerging fault or is it telling me something else, the...

Hi Guys, Picked up my C63 yesterday and loving it! Couple of very quick questions. In the owners manual it says that outside temperature can be displayed permantly but not in the UK. Is there any way I can put it always on. Also, the digital speed (Where Temp can be) is in KMH where as the...

Hi Does anyone know why some M-B 600 W100 cars have full walnut instrument cowels and some don't?! Was it not standard equipment? Some 330 M-B have them too See pics below with and without!

Hi all I attempted to change an Instrument cluster in a pre-facelift 211 yesterday with a working second hand unit . I was unable to get the mileage reading to code into the replacement clocks . I have been able to perform this task before , and successfully replaced the instrument cluster...

The instrument binnacle is off my 190 for a few things and I wondered if anyone knows of a good way of restoring the colour of the dial arms that have gone a bit yellow from the original orange.

removed instrument cluster to try fix problem where it works sometimes and not others. I put it back in and problem still persists. More urgently after putting it back in some warning lights are staying on and not going out after ignition e.g brake pad wear, ABS, coolant and oil warning...

I'd like to insure some musical instruments (predominantly two guitars) on a bespoke policy, including cover when away from the house (for example in the car or at a gig). Any company recommendations, or do you think the "standard" house contents policies with appropriate cover limits will be...

Hi all, Maybe an isolated case, or not. Had my van a couple of weeks now, and after 1000+ miles spotted a problem. So the instrument cluster, shielded with (plastic) glass has a black plastic "trim". Basically it's a precut sticky silhouette I imagine covers nasty edges. It covers...

After replacing my '02 A160's (auto) starter, all the instrument cluster warning lights are on and there is no signal to starter to start. My starter has been intermittently failing to start over the last year or so until it became unreliable. The last time it failed to start, I was able to...

Hi guys, Hope everyone is well. Quick question - last night we noticed the instrument cluster wasn't lighting up in our '89 W124. I think the right hand bulb has been gone for a while, with just the one on the left working. Also the rear number plate bulbs weren't lit, so proceeded to change...
