2006 R320 94,000 miles. Black. Covered in seagull crap. Wifey driving down the motorway at a steady 70, dash lights up with ESP/ABS/SRS deactivated then the seat tensioners pulled in tight and frightened the life out of her. Pulled over at the services, restarted and it was ok then later in the...

Hi all. I need a good bow roof limit switch for the wife's 2002 W208. I believe the part number is 2088202310. Any offers before I call Mercede$ ?

Sorry, I scrapped the car. The CAN BUS went from bad to worse and I ran out of patience after hours and hours of troubleshooting. One thing to look at, was ok on mine but apparently it's common, look at the CAN BUS connector by the right and left footwells, they get wet and corrode and drive the...

Update: Scrapped it for £30. Took out the good modules to sell.

Thanks all. Battery voltage is good.

Happy Sunday everyone. My W203 woes continue. Has anyone ever heard of a module in the car going nuts and flooding the CAN network? My PITA 1999 C240 has gone from brake lights stuck on to engine running without the key and now the alarm goes off and the radiator fan starts as soon as I...

Hi Anyone know where the engine and transmission grounds leads are on 2000 C Class (W203)? I have the underside covers off and can't find them to check them. Thanks.

Thanks for the tip, disconnected and there's no change. Today's new thing - There's a 5amp drain on the battery with the key out. I'm starting to think it's the key module.

The sensor's tip has broken off so I guess it's fubar.

Hi all. I'm battling various electronic gremlins. Would a broken (and damaged) ambient temp sensor that's reading 100c make the Front SAM go nuts? I can't turn the key, brake lights on all the time key in or out. Many bananas things wrong with this thing. :bannana:

I would if I thought STAR would do better than my code reader.

Thanks for the suggestion. Looked fine but I even undid it, sanded the earth tags and sprayed with contact cleaner. No dice :( Wondering now if I should change the front SAM.

Hi. Would anyone know if I replace the front SAM for the exact same part number on my 2000 C240 would it need recoding by a dealer? Cheers.

Hi all. Yet Another brake lights on post but... About to throw this PITA W203 C 240 away. I will pass a MOT but has a problem with the brake lights stuck on even with the brake light switch removed. I had this question in the /brakes forum but thought I'd try my luck here. I've replaced...
