Last night turned on ignition and moved off and could hear what can only describe as a TOCK every second. Almost like your grandfather clock in the hall. Sounded like coming from behind the middle of the dash and maybe something to do with the vents - tapping the central vents with your knuckles...

Grumps, looking at your pics I hadn't appreciated theres more than the 2 - one at each corner. Stupid really - why wouldn't there be more than 2 - doh! Issue is not so much clearing these drainage guides as such from where the wipers rest, more of clearing the actual pipes themselves that appear...

just a quick update Got hold of the 3M kit from eBay and used this on Saturday. Sadly no before/after pics but have to say worked brilliantly. Took a good hour or so and worth taking some time over it but results were as good as new. I'm aware the yellowing will come back in time so will be...

Hi all Noticed that the rear corners of the bonnet what meet the windscreen wipers rest are crudded up with leaves, moss and the likes. Can see the passenger side one and been trying to poke various wires to clear the holes after a quick hoover of what I can get to. No luck so far - are the...

Anyone?

Afternoon all After not having used it since about October went to power back the sun roof on my W203 Coupe yesterday and found it to be really slow and sluggish. Although got it fully open thought better to close it again in case failed totally in open position. Sunroof motor sounds ok so...

Using a mirror and comparing t'other side, seems like previous owner managed to refit the cluster but pushed it too far in. Theres a curved metal clip at the top - looks like the dish of a spoon and won't retract without doing some damage to it. Bum 'oles!

Hi Help please. Rear brake bulb gone but having the devil of a job to take the driver's side rear cluster out. It seems like not quite free at the top of the cluster. Passenger side one unclips no problem - sadly that's not the one with the burn out bulb. Am I missing something here? My manual...

Anyone tried these people? Apparently send them a pic and they'll come back to you with a quote. Course quote could be far far different from final bill but looking to have rust around the arches sorted. Cheers Steve

At work so not got my car to check but anyone know on a W203 coupe with regular wheels i.e wheels car came with from MB, whether the wheelnuts are 19 or 21. I'm after some black covers for them? Ta Steve

My usual garage found these codes P200A - air mass meter P2015 - Y58/1 purge control valve P2088 - lambda control Not had my W203 coupe too long so he reset the fault codes a week ago and said previous owner may well have sorted these probs but not had a reset. Yesterday EM light came back...

thanks - just done it

The headlamps on my W203 coupe are going opaque but heard people have rubbed them down with toothpaste?! I assuming the slight abrasion is supposed to help but does it work? Thanks

Rumour has it you could enter you VIN into the MB website and get a PDF but been there and could only see current models. I found a link elsewhere to a US version but I'm after the UK one. Have I missed something on the official site? I've a C200K Coupe on a 52 plate. Thanks folks

Just got myself a C200K Sport Coupe in shiny, so shiny, black. My 2nd MB after a W201 190 carb model, break in between of a Saab turbo (frailer than your gran) and a couple of other 'marques' I'd rather not talk about but been on the lookout for another Benz - wasn't especially fussy which one...
