odd

Odd. Our A150 (new shape W169) has just developed an intermittent noise. Sounds a bit like a pump groaning, or something. It does not change with rpm, nor braking, nor with speed, it occurs when moving and at rest. Once it occurs, it will continue until the ignition is turned off. If the car...

My dealer/factory fit alarm on my 1994 124 estate does something weird. When you arm it,the courtesy light comes on, and when you disarm it, it stays off. :confused: Sounds like a dip switch or setting is screwy or something. :crazy: Anyone tried to work on these alarms and know how to...

Something not right here...

Ok, just found I have no hot water.. had a bit of a test session on the Immersion tank and the bottom ele,ment is almost open circuit the top element is 18.5 ohms. The bottom element is used for off peak heating an is only just getting the tank up to 30-40 degrees on the stat. My thinking is...

Well its a bit weird, so I'll explain. The car is a 1997 W210 E300TD saloon with 165k Basically, twice now (since I bought the car in November), after full acceleration and then backing off immediately, I've felt the car lurching - as if its braking unevenly. This has been completely...

We have had our feline owners spreading their whoopsies about, now it is time for the 'K9' brigade to fight back with pictures of their beasts. This is our useless excuse for a German Shepherd Otis, five years of age, going on for five months John

On the drive home this evening I was following a BMW 535d Sport, I'm guessing a similar spec to Mambo's new beast ;), but noticed something quite odd. The BMW has a twin exit exhaust, but the righthand pipe has a valve in it that opens and closes (I'm guessing) as you go on or off the...

Strange thing happened yesterday. Therese asked me to pick her up from the library and on my way down I spotted in my mirror a very nice pale blue E Class coupe with a private plate. I had the top down and it pulled alongside at Odsal roundabout and the 3 aisan guys in the coupe started...

Best way I can describe it! When going round roundabouts,pulling away from a standing start, or even crawling in a queue, the car sort of pauses then lurches forward. It's as if there is a dead spot on the throttle. It is most notable on roundabouts and damn irritating. Annoying part is...

Hi, I have a 1986 300TE with 169k miles, which is beginning to run a bit erratic. She starts from cold just about fine and pulls away ok, however after a minute or so she will loose most power – touch the throttle and nothing happens (no increase in revs) then power will come back on again...

Hi there, I had the brake discs and pads replaced on my 1999 E300 Turbo-D a few months back. A few weeks after they were replaced I thought I occasionaly heard this funny clicking/tapping noise when reversing but thought nothing of it. Anyway, the other day I was reversing in an underground...

bit of a strange one.... I've had the car (1988 260E) for a couple of weeks now and noticed my wing mirrors are 2 different shapes :confused: The drivers one is longer than it is tall, whilst the passenger one is taller than it is long...... Is this a special MB feature or just a previous...

On my W140.. Cold air comes out at gale force 6, hot air comes out at gale force 0.0001. Heat is correct, can hear fan spinning fine and when on manual control, you can hear the valves opening / closing fine to direct air to different vents. re-circ or fresh air modes makes no...

Hi all! Was out in the C220 (W202) earlier and noticed it was making a heavy gurgling sound with a rattle when pushed a bit. I have a feeling that its the exhaust thats developed a movement somewhere and opened up on a joint. It sounds like its coming directly from under the drivers side, any...

OK, I have had my 220CE for a couple of months now, and every time someone else notices, I  cant give them an answer. So why are the drivers and passengers mirrors on a CE different sizes? Are they supposed to be? Are all E classes like that? And can I get some with indicators built in...
