    [SOLD] W203 Roofbars: Original Mercedes part for C-class - unused

    I bought these as part of the original deal for a now a sadly departed C-Class W203. The only time they've been out of the box is for the photos, so you'd receive them pristine, with security keys, allen key and instruction manual. Find more photos and delivery/collection options in the ebay...

    Scrapped car re-sold

    Replying to neilrr... The engine turned over after it had cooled down but with some metallic noises above those of the starter. Needs B service too! I got around 300.

    Scrapped car re-sold

    Hi. Slightly off-topic for this forum - not ebay but a car aurction - here's the car I flogged to the scrap dealer after it had a full-on diesel runaway last Saturday week: MERZ C220 CDI S . As I post it's at £550. (I no longer have a financial interest in it!)

    C220 Engine Drama

    Hi. Midnight last night, driving home from Leatherhead, on routine acceleration out of a roundabaout the engine went ape! I've heard of diesel runaway but its quite a shock when it happens. Having knocked it into N I pulled up, put of the hazard warning lights and got out as fast as possible...

    Parking Brake warning: credit where its due

    I got in the car after a meeting near Portsmouth yesterday afternoon and as soon as the car moved the parking brake warning went off - it's happened before but has been curable by (a) releasing the parking brake (doh!) or (b) stamping on the brake and letting it fly out with some force. This...

    Some Moron drove into my car

    As I am finding out right now (from an accident in June) the insurance company attitude is that it was on a roundabout, no witnesses, its your word against his so it would probably end up as 50:50 (don't forget to get 50% of your excess back from him or his insurance company) and both insurance...

    W203 C220 CDI warm start problem

    Hi, I know, I only pop by when I want something:D Dear Dr MBClub, can you help? Last week I reversed up a steep hill to park, stopped for 5 minutes then found that the engine wouldn't start. It coughed a bit. I let it rest for a minute or so, tried a few more times and it was still the...

    Air Con ReGas @ Kwik Fit

    (Almost an RIP thread, but here goes...) Car - a C220CDI - is 6 years old and has never had an aircon re-charge. It's not been particularly efficient in the 3 years I've had it. Finally, the aircon stopped working back in February - only just got round to doing something about it. Went to...

    Going up again with another 3p per litre

    Wave a wet fish in the face of those high prices with one of these :wallbash::crazy::doh::rolleyes::p The bit that's going to hurt is when the $/barrel recovers and is magnified by our magnificent taxation system to new eye-wateringly high levels....

    Internet Explorer 8 ?

    I tried installing Opera yesterday on this notebook. Scrolling much faster than IE8, but snags with the consistency of rendering of pages (iplayer was occasionally a column filling a quarter of the screen in the centre). Took a look through advanced options in IE8 and turned off soft scrolling...
