Hi Squabz, no, I tried that as well as going into your profile and statistics tab. I'm guessing maybe it's because I don't have enough posts yet? Anyway, it's not a problem at the moment. Max

Hi Squabz, Many thanks for your offer, but to my surprise the dealer I bought it from has agreed to fit a new speaker, and although I won't know what they fit, it's not going to cost me anything! Speaker technology has come on leaps and bounds in the last ten years, so it wouldn't surprise me if...

Hi all, I've found that the front passenger door bass speaker on my 'new' car is apparently shot. Is it an easy job to get into the speaker housing to replace please? Any pointers appreciated. Max

Hi there, Sorry for delayed reply, but no, it's a standard saloon.

I just bought a pair of Bosch Twin Spoiler blades for my car. Having checked the correct fitting I bought them from Amazon unseen. I have to say that I'm very disappointed, not with the wipe, but with the quality of construction. The Bosch that came off were far better made, but I couldn't keep...

Hi Spike, Firstly, I assume that would require removing some retaining pieces? And secondly, I'm partially disabled at the moment, and even the simplest jobs that I wouldn't have thought twice about a few years ago, are outside my scope at present. The car is still under warranty and I'll...

Hi there, Many thanks for your rapid reply. It's made me realise that I didn't make myself clear enough - sorry. The draught is coming from under the carpet on the floor, and not the door. Max

Hi all, I'm really enjoying my 'new' Merc, now that the firing on three cylinders has been sorted, just one thing is spoiling it now. I have a cold draught coming from a specific point beside the driver's seat. I've tried the all the variations of heater settings and vent positions, but to no...

I want to apologise to all who have replied here, because I've made an unbelievably stupid error. I DO HAVE four positions, and my 'problem' is now solved! I can't explain how it happened, just putting it down to old age. I haven't replied earlier because the car has been back in the dealer's...

I'd love to say it does, but unfortunately no. To perhaps clarify this point, I am asked to turn the ignition on when it's already on (engine off)? This is the major part of my confusion.

Now THAT is something I haven't noticed! I'm fairly sure it doesn't, but not certain. I wondered what that strange noise was, and you say it's the steering lock - OK. But either way, I still have only one position between inserting the key and the starting position. When I turn the key to the...

Er no, I don't have four positions, I only have three. The only messages I have seen are the two I mentioned in my first post. Also, I have tried waiting five minutes plus, but still I only see the same messages. Max

Hi again, I'm sorry to be thick, but I'm not sure what you're saying. The key only has two positions, inserted and on, then next comes start. I have to turn the key to the on position (2) before I can get any readouts. Clearly the ignition is on already isn't it? So how can it be asking to do...

Thanks, yes that's when I get the message 'turn on ignition' ?

Hi all, The title sort of says it all really. My car's an 03 plate C180 as left, and I can't get an oil level reading. What it says should happen in the handbook doesn't! I get two messages, first is something like 'cannot measure level with engine running'. So, I turn the engine off, go back...
