Hi Dieselman, I did check the level and it was spot on and a nice golden colour too? The chap who serviced it only uses mb spec oil, I fear its a mechanical problem as you have mentioned : (

I take it I just edit the pre printed milege or do they do a book from 180,000 onwards? Cheers

Hello all, I had the old girl serviced 2000 miles ago and today the oil level warning light comes on? I pulled up outside a local bp and looked at the dipsick! She was way below the bottem of mimimum? I ended up putting around 2 litres back in to bring her up to max. Any idea why shes used so...

Hi All, I just wandered where I could get one of the above, as the old girl is now around 190,000 ish? Thanks Paul

Just noticed mines on 190,000 odd today lol

Just got myself an Epiphone Black beauty, lovely guitar, although Im no expert it sounds great to me! Good luck with your search

Happens to me too:confused: But only when it changes up to 4th then it starts to hesitate???? After todays shenanigans with my dis cap it may well be the culprit? Hope you get it sorted Peter

Hi all, I was on my way this morning to do a small job for a friend and thought id take the wifes 300te as it had'nt been driven for a while. Yesterday the window cleaner couldnt get near our front window and asked if i could move her back a bit and i found out she was dead! I charged her...

i did try to turn it but theres only a couple of places that you can see it clearly, ill give it another go again later thanks again. Paul

Hi Chaps, I just took her for a quick spin round the block, I did try the talcum powder thing but what little i could get on the the inside of the belt it actually made it worse, well the squeal went on a lot longer at least until i got to the end of the road. I noticed that the power...

Hi Ian, I did check the fluid, it was also changed the same time as the belt, Shame your a while away as id love you to have a look at her, as theres a few nigling bits and bobs:crazy: Anyway all the best Paul

Hi All, Its been a while, happy new year to you all! I think I may have a loose fanbelt as I had it replaced a while ago and before long it started to make a real squeal on startup, its be going on a while now and is driving the wife nuts, (i think she doesnt like the unwanted attention it...

Hi Howard, Cheers for the swift reply. I have a feeling it would be the scorpion, because I had another TE that had one, but unfortunatly I dont have a clue where the brains may be? Do you suggest I just get a new clean install, as some on ebay are offering this for around £200 fitted...

Hi all, A while ago I brought a 300 te 24v for the wife to run the kids round. It didnt come with any keyfobs although the car does have central locking and sensors inside. I dont think the alarm works and i'd love a couple of remotes to lock the car. The question is can I go to...

Hi Petef, It was great and there were quite a few Brits, but more Dutch and Germans! We had a great time and it was the bargain of the century too! The site wasnt as busy I id expect, but kids in the uk were due back to school that week (note to head mistress sent!) The price I was...
