    Folding parking brake

    Good morning, I have got a 63 plate Sprinter and looking to lower my handbrake to use my swivel seats. I read somewhere that sprinters after 2008 (I think) have a folding handbrake as standard but I can't get mine to fold down unless there is more of a trick than pushing down when engaged. I...

    Intermittent failure of parts of dashboard with whirring sound W124

    I am sorry I can't help. It might be worth posting it in a different forum as this one was for the older w124 and you might find people who know more about the newer Mercedes.

    Intermittent failure of parts of dashboard with whirring sound W124

    Good news. I had another look today put the original in which still made the sound. Then I checked fuses again and they looked good but old and replaced them and voilà it works again. 😀

    Intermittent failure of parts of dashboard with whirring sound W124

    Thanks I will have a look. Important perhaps to say is if I put my original relay in all the indicators etc are working it just makes a awful buzzing sound which stops when I take it out. The replacement is no better. Perhaps unrelated the oil pressure, fuel and revs are not working.

    Intermittent failure of parts of dashboard with whirring sound W124

    Got the new relay and was putting it in full of hope but to be honest it is worse then before. While the old relay made a noise straight away and stopped when I indicated. The new one does not let me indicate unless I apply pressure and then it makes a noise too and the left part of the...

    Intermittent failure of parts of dashboard with whirring sound W124

    I changed the ovp a couple of months back as abs light went on and off which fixed it. Hope not broken again. I will wait until new relay is here, hopefully by Saturday or Monday and I give it a go. Thanks for everyone's help. Enjoy this lovely spring evening.

    Taken the unit out and went for a drive. The buzzing certainly has not come back and indicators not working as expected as unit taken out.

    Intermittent failure of parts of dashboard with whirring sound W124

    Thanks. Done it and it seems like it is 2018210047 which I can even feel vibrate. Would that make sense? Interestingly I noticed when I switch on indicator the noise stops
