    Braking woes

    Managed to replace rear pads today. Seems like the scratching sound was coming from the lack of friction material on the inner pad on the passenger side. Pure metal on metal contact. Explains why that sound only happened when the brakes were hot. Changed the disks on rear as well due to the...

    Braking woes

    Thanks gents for the input. Ive bedded them in by doing gradual stops from 60 - 20 as and when i can (i dont do much driving where i can pick up speed and slow down e.g. empty motorways or dual carriages) but i think another couple hundred miles of general driving will bed them in nicely. Since...

    Braking woes

    They are refurbished oem calipers. They are as good as new effectively. IMHO the calipers movements are as smooth as they should be.

    1996 W202 C180 Elegance won't start up - with vid

    Do the lights on the rear view mirror flash alternately? If so it's just the immobiliser kicking in (after 1min or so after unlocking doors and not starting the car) you just have to lock and unlock the doors and start the car before the immobiliser kicks in again. Hope it helps

    W202 immobilizer issue

    OK so unfortunately this thread has to go up again, today i spent almost an hour trying to knock off the immobiliser on the 202. Before it used to take anything up to 10 attempts to deactivate the immobiliser but now its not even worth counting. so it seems that 6months is the life span of 2...

    W202 immobilizer issue

    the lights were flashing together at the same time. the indicators would also flash for upto 15 seconds after locking or unlocking. I have since then replaced the batteries in the key and so far (touch wood) it seems to have solved the issue. it seemed a little strange as the key seemed to...

    W202 immobilizer issue

    Just to elaborate a bit further, this morning it happened again, this time it was locked/ unlocked as normal but it still failed to deactivate the immobilizer. After 7-8 attempts of locking/unlocking it knocked off the immobilizer and fixed itself. Any ideas on whats going wrong?
