    Asr, bas, then abs warnings

    Well nothing to see there... Slotted ring looks ok. Thinking about it, if the sensor is magnetic then the ring won't have any effect at all. I can only see the ring giving problems with ABS once the wheels are rotating. This is a hard fault once the ignition turns on & since the cable seems to...

    Asr, bas, then abs warnings

    Cheers Andy, I've just been under the car looking to see where speed sensors are, & managed to locate the large plastic cover. There's 3 cables coming up from the rear of the car which plug into sockets. The cables from the sockets then run off into the inside of the car. Two of these...

    Asr, bas, then abs warnings

    I was pulled over last night with brake lights on all the time, so either this is the fault or possibly I haven't put the switch back correctly, which is difficult because it just a straight fit with a 1/4 twist & it''s a firm fit. However removing the switch with the wiring attached and with...

    Help- advice jumpy erratic CLK

    I had this problem when I changed my AMG 17" tyres to the top spec Bridgestone Tyres from the Continentals that were on the car when I bought it. The next set of tyres I bought were Dunlop SPSportMaxx & this cured all the jittering around and made the car quieter.

    Battery Change Problems.

    Thanks for the advice Brian WH. I'd use my Authorised MB Stealer at Sunderland as a last resort, I've little confidence in them & quite frankly they'd take my eyes out & come back for the sockets. I'm interested in finding out more information on the problem myself before resorting to the...

    Battery Change Problems.

    Thought this problem was sorted , however I still have issue with it. If you press accelerator in 3rd/4th gear it'll drop a gear and accelerate quickly, sometimes up to 5000 revs then sometimes the car will change up quite abruptly. After this happens the car will always tick over erraticaly...
