    W140 Auto Gear Selector

    I have a LHD S300TD W140. The gear selector moves ok from P-R-N-D but is very stiff when I try to move it over to 4. Once in 4 is moves ok to 3-2 but is stiff again moving back to D. I think its probably a linkage problem and when the outside temprature falls well below freezing it is not...

    W140 LHD Xenon Headlights

    Hi, I have a LHD W140 S300DT import and recently it has failed the MOT because the headlights are pointing the wrong way. Is there any way to adjust the headlight direction or do I need to replace both headlights with UK spec ones? If they do need replacing could I get away with just...

    W140 Light Switch Panel

    Hi, Does anyone know how to remove the panel around the side/head light switch on a S class W140 1999 model (S300TD LHD). There is a bulb behind there somewhere that illuminates the symbols just above the switch that has become intermittent. Thanks in advance. KJ

    Hybrids? waste of space.

    In my humble opinion; Hybrids are no “greener” than a regular car of similar engine size. The manufacturers are using the controversial "green" issue as hype to sell these cars. There is still the recycling issue of these cars. I am sure they will contain a lot more components than a...

    Anyone seen any good number plates on cars lately?

    I saw A15 HIT on a Daewoo Espero a few years ago now. It made me smile :-)

    A really p*ssed off E-Class owner

    What an idiot, that tow truck operator should have been fired for that. He obviously didn’t know how to do his job. I would assume the council would be insured for paying the driver of this car? Mind you, it would make anyone think twice about illegally parking. I heard the council says...

    200mph +

    Ah, the autobahns are a great place to open up your speed without getting a ticket. Thing is anyone can drive fast, but it takes skill and judgment to drive safely. Remember no matter how safe you are driving, even with advanced driving or police driving skills, there’s always someone else...

    MB Service Rip-Off

    I have had another look at the problem this morning. There is no fuel in the pre-filter intake pipe. I disconnected the pipe from the pre-filter which is still clean. I blew compressed air back through the pipe and could hear the diesel bubbling in the tank so there is no blockage in the pipe...

    MB Service Rip-Off

    Now my rant is at MB Southport :mad: I came to start the car this morning and it wont start. The same symptoms as last time, it turns over but wont start. They obviously havent fixed the original fault correctly. This time there is no fuel in the intake pipe at all. I will be contacting...

    MB Service Rip-Off

    Hi, yes the dealer in Belgium has short changed me. I bought the car from them with their word it was serviced. My rant was not against MB Southport as they fixed the car and told me how much it would cost before repairing it. They obviously did not do the full service at MB Belgium, maybe...

    MB Service Rip-Off

    I'm just having a rant today against MB dealers, my local MB dealer (Southport, Merseyside) changed me £515.84 the other day for the privilege of getting my W140 S300TD starting again. They also wanted another £100 for a new battery, which had only been replaced 2 months ago. Fortunately they...
