sticking

Hiya peeps, my first post on here, hi everyone. Just bought a 1995 TN with the OM602 n/a engine. Drove it 300 miles home, very very very slow, had a poke around and the throttle cable was badly adjusted, and only giving 1/2 throttle. Adjusted it, runs a bit better, so went out last nite on a...

Recently fitted an eBay bootlid spoiler as mine didnt have one for some reason :bannana: Used the 3M supplied tape which worked for around 1-2 days before the ends starting to pull up. I then went to my local car parts shop and bought some heavy duty tape. Worked a treat for nearly a week until...

I'm sure this is covered elsewhere on the forum so apologies for not searching extensively enough. In the last two weeks we've had the 'stuck in park' problem crop up three times. All seems normal once we unlock the selector with a screwdriver. The car isn't used that often at the moment...

Anybody had any issues with the seat release? I stick my laptop etc on back seat when driving to work. But getting the seat to release now takes 4 or 5 attempts??? Not a real hardship just annoying! Any advice appreciated.....and don't say use the passenger side! Cheers

Maws leaving work tonight, after an 8 hour shift, and upon moving out of my parking space there was a short high pitched squeal coming from the rear. It did it again for the first mile or so when stopped at any traffic lights, and disappeared when the car picked up speed. After driving the 12...

About to buy a clk 320 cdi W209-- Seller states sticking parking brake-easy fix?? Hi all, As per subject, he tells me that it's necessary to pull the release handle a few times for it to release. He has not been using it ( the parking brake) because of this. This...

Hello Everybody. I would like to begin by thanking all of you for the good advice and instruction which has really helped me at times of bother in the past. I recently left my 2001 E220 cdi Auto 120,000 mls parked for five days. It was fine when I left it but on my return it started up ok but...

All of a sudden it is very hard to get out of Park, apparantly it's likely to be a small piece of plastic that has failed, does anyone know the best place to order a replacement for it?, or somewhere in the SE that could do this work?, I'm not taking it to MB and paying a fortune for the whole...

I think this has been put in a thread before, but I cant find it In the morning when cold, the rev counter needle stays on zero After 5mins of driving I tap the side of the dash and then it reads ok all day long until the next morning. Is there a cure for this without stripping it down or...

Number 2 son has a 58 plate Skoda Fabia. It has drum brakes at the rear. If it has been parked for a couple of days the rear nearside brake seems to stick on. It frees up after a couple of yards. It's years since I tinkered with cars, but I've suggested to him that he should be able to fix...

Hello all – I have noticed that when trying to move the auto gear leaver from P to D it seems to stick when I first start the car, after a few attempts it goes in to D and is fairly smooth between D to P and vice versa after the initial sticking - I only picked up the car at the weekend (2006...

The door mirrors have an electric motor so they fold in when parking but the passenger side one sticks when it tries to return to the position for driving. Strangely if you try to push it in to position straight away it just bounces back to where it is but if you switch it to fold back in and...

Hi, I just put fuel in my 2007 A150 when the reserve fuel light came on, but the gauge indication needle is still showing the same level as before and the gauge light is still on. Is the sender unit stuck? Any ideas welcomed, & thanks in anticipation...

Didn't want to particularly attach my Tesco clubcard key fob to my key ring so I cut out the barcode and stuck it using double sided tape onto the chrome MB part of the key ring which flaps onto the leather part. Doesn't work despite cutting completely around the barcode:confused: Anyone...

Hello, Sorry if this is the wrong section. I sometimes have a sticky/lazy drivers side window, the passenger side is fine but the drivers window will either stop or go back down slightly(anti trap function) do i need to lubricate the lower rubber along the top of the door? also, i have a...

Doesn't happen until a few hours into a journey, but will begin to stick when accelerating at higher speeds. Decelerating it works normally Any ideas where I need to luck? Cheers David

Hi, The drivers side on my W210 E320 keeps sticking half way up then continuing to the top but at an angle so that the trailing edge does not seal at the top. Is there anything I can do about this as a home mechanic? Cheers Jon

As my drive is very steep i apply the parking brake rather than just leaving the auto box in Park. It has now started sticking on. The brakes release enough for the vehicle to move but the warning light stays on and a buzzer sounds when you move the vehicle. Is the problem likely to be...
