My W204 was in Sinclair Mercedes @ Swansea a fortnight ago to have the recall carried out on the Takata airbags. The car was in for about 4.5 hours before I got the call to pick it up. I told them specifically I didn't want the Diesel software update carried out. I don't believe it has been...

Thank you @alecmascot ,brilliant 👍 Lucky you mentioned the shims, I wouldn't have ordered those, first I've heard of them 🙏

My rear springs have been picked up as being rusty, so much so that the colour code can't be seen on my 2013 C220cdi VIN WDD2040022A873829 with AMG SPORT PACKAGE PLUS. My front springs, which are newer, are Monroes SP3845 @ 3x red / 1x white I think my options (from Auto-Doc (not necessarily...

Thanks to @OneForTheRoad & @Smart320 , that sorted it 👍🤗

So car is now on charge, the charger icon only showed 1 flashing bar (which, under the circumstances I thought encouraging). Will report back tomorrow evening 👍

Thanks, I'll do that when I can. The passenger's door was open for quite a few hours. Maybe this had an effect?

I'm getting this message since I needed to remove cabin blower and glovebox. Is there a connection around this area I've dislodged you think? This is after I lost a day due to an unidentified plug left over (was for footwell lamp) The car seems to be driving as normal. I'm working nights for...

I think I've sussed it, and I'm kicking myself. I forgot I'd taken a video of the blower from underneath before removing glovebox. The cable is loose before the removal, I'm pretty positive it is for the footwell lamp. 😏

I don't think so. Would that be a lamp under the glovebox? I will have a check tomorrow. Thank you

I did check all around above, and to the left, but nothing. The way the cable is bent, and the shape it wants to spring back to, appears to go to the bottom/underside outside edge of glovebox :dk:

Thanks markjay. If still not identified by lunchtime tomorrow, I'll refit without connecting it, and keep my fingers crossed it was spare wire for some option or other I haven't got.

I needed to remove my 2013 W204 glovebox to ease removal of the blower assembly. I didn't unplug anything from the glove box, but as I was offering it up to start refitting, a small cable bounce out, and I can't figure out where it was plugged in, so I've had to give up for tonight. Could...

Deffo an alignment centre lol. I watched it this morning on the Hunter Hawkeye system. It's not insurance preventing the gas, can't get head office to pay for it apparently.

Well their explanation made sense, but if only they'd said last Friday to Mrs T. They said the tracking was ****-on, but they couldn't get the steering wheel lined up, as one of the tie-rod nuts was seized. When it was up on the lift he showed me, and indeed it was, and they don't have any...

Phoned them this morning, and fairplay they made all the right noises - "bring it up this morning and we'll put it up on the lift and sort it out for you" So I'm just off now, 🤞
