rain

Hello, I have a CLK350, W209, 2006. Anyone that know how to retrofit Rain Sensor? I have some "optics" glued to the vindscreen but I don't know whether it's for rain sensor or for opening a garagedoor. I have 3 button on the rear mirror to operate the garage opener but I don't know if that...

Hello there folks, The rain sensor wind screen wipers on my 2003 C220 have developed a mind of thier own when they want to work. There is pretty much no intermitent function now and the juddering jumping blades on a dryish screen (you that drizzel stuff thats just in the middle of on or...

Hey all. just back from a long weekend away which was great, but what greeted me was not so great. Left the car at the airport with the hard top on whilst away - have come back and the damn drivers footwell is wet (not swimming in water, but not far off). :mad: It's damp on the right hand...

Hi, My wipers cause the rain to smear across my winscreen which isn't the best for visibility!:doh: So what's the best way to clean - my wipers (Bosch bought in December) and my windscreen? Wipers - vinegar? Windscreen - Mr Muscle Window? - Toothpaste? - CIF Cream? - Cillit Bang? -...

Hi, I have clocked up around 400miles this weekend and today I am looking outside at the ML and see the cover under the engine is only attached by one screw/ clip. I think I am right in saying that 5 screws/ clips are missing on that one cover. My query therefore is, are there any other...

Moving my car the other day after after washing it the day previous it was noticed that a large amount of water slopped from bonnet vent from the drivers side, i found that drain was blocked this led to me checking the ones beneath in the well under both air vents behind engine compartment, i...

Hello, I have had an annoying waterleak that I tried to trace today. Basically, my footwells would fill with water (not horrendously) just a small bit in the bottom, sort of in the middle. Today, I decided to see if I could find the source of the problem. 1 - I removed the battery 2 - I...

hi all, I'm in another fix now :) - seems to be happening alot with this car. Anyway, I just replaced the inlet port shutoff motor. The car is good again. But before that, I disconnected the battery lead. Now the rain/light sensor is not working properly. Even in bright daylight/torch on sensor...

I have recently purchased a 300 sl and after the recent downpours I have noticed that there is a pool of rain water either side of the compartment that holds the soft top, upon closer inspection it would appear that there might be 2 drain pipes missing as I can see that there are 2 nipples 1...

My windscreen developed a huge crack last week and was promptly replaced by Autoglass. As it's a mod I'm interested in I asked for a windscreen with the clip and gap in the shade area for a rain sensor. I believe I have three items to purchase: the sensor, a small wiring loom and a cover for...

Hi all, can the sensitivity of the above be adjusted by STAR. Reason is, just had windscreen replaced and now lights come on when it is nearly dark (used to come on earlier) and wipers come on too early and cause screeching across dry (Ish) screen. Had windscreen replaced 8 months ago by same...

would anyone have an unwanted rainwater diverter in the garage before I get one from B&Q or wherever? Its for square section guttering (white). matt

Twice recently I have done motorway journeys where the outward part was in good weather and the return trip in really horrible heavy rain. On both occasions I used the cruise control to maintain a constant speed. If anything, the rainy trips were at a lower speed for safety's sake. Within...

Hi everyone, Just a quick one . . . I've just noticed that the rain sensor for my wiper isnt operating as it should be. Instead of cleaning the screen when required, it jumps straight to the medium speed which means I cant use the slowest speed. HOWEVER, when I unplug the small plug to the...
