    W202 C280 facelift Exhaust Back Box

    Hi, Have a C280 with the AMG kit but without the exhaust so the rear bumper in my opinion looks a bit wrong without a nice AMG twin exhaust poking out the back! I realise the AMG back box's are getting rare these days so been looking at the remus variant (although pretty expensive at 500 quid)...

    C280 Heated rear window switch won't go out

    Well.... glad eventually got it sorted. Turned out to be a faulty front SAM unit. Ordered two off ebay at £16 quid, fitted and heated rear window light out and now fully working.

    C280 Heated rear window switch won't go out

    Thanks Dec, it's got to be something like that eh, when I bought the car the previous owner had put a new battery in the car and he said the light had only been coming on since the new battery went in I had no reason not to believe him as he was a decent guy. Will give this a go and let you know...

    C280 Heated rear window switch won't go out

    So an update, ... I got Chris from Benz tech to take a look (top guy) , he unplugged the siren, to sort that problem,then plugged the car into diagnostics, no issues came up other than the HRW switch was showing as being stuck between on/off. So Chris advised it was likely to be the heater...

    W202 C280 sport bootlid replacement

    Thanks Derick, yep gonna try and find one in the same colour, lucky for me silver seems a more common colour on the w202 so there are few breaking locally. Gonna whip down the breakers anyway this week so will let you know how I get on. Cheers Mark

    W202 C280 sport bootlid replacement

    Hi, the bottom of my c280 bootlid is rusting around the lock. Probably not too much of a job to repair, but seen as the local breakers yard has a silver (same colour) car breaking and there are a few being broken locally, was wondering if it would be easier to replace the bootlid? After a quick...

    C280 Heated rear window switch won't go out

    Thanks for this Dec, the info provided is really appreciated. Seems the siren runs off the same circuit as the heated rear window. Hopefully disconnecting the siren will sort the heated window light but will see. Tried to find the heated window connectors today (to either unplug or check if...
