    tapping/thumping noise

    I have an 04 CLK that has recently developed a noise. It seems be directly behind the glove box and is like a tapping noise every second. It comes on with ignition before engine starts so not engine related and stays on after I take key out for a time. I think it is related to the heating? Is...

    I am hooked...

    Anyone with an e350?

    I bought an 05 e350 Sport a few months ago and love it to bits. There is one thing which is bugging me as im not sure if its normal... As engine rpm rises there is whine which increases in pitch with engine revs, its not overly intrusive and could well just be the transmission sound from the...

    CLK 3rd Brake Light

    Got it off and the problem was indeed that water had got in through a crack, tried cleaning up the connections but didnt work. Could anyone advise where best to but a new one, I believe the part number I need is A 209 820 09 56. Would there be anywhere online I could buy one?

    W211 SBC Hold

    Got the knack of it now guys the short sharp tap of the brake works for me rather than pushing slowly to stop. Incidentally... some of the above posts talk about the w124, when in D our old battered w124 doesnt roll back on a hill start but the new w211 does especially when in "S" this is my...
