while on the phone to Merc i asked them how much i was looking at if i was to pay, they priced the parts at £290 + 1hrs labour + VAT the price itself priced from an independant place is £158, so straight away Star has priced at double. Im going to try going to the dealership in person and...

I need some advise from someone in the know, After having a broken down w203 for the last 2 weeks, this morning a mobile auto electricition diagnoised it with a faulty ESI? (the ignition computer) He said this is fairly common but not cheap and made a phone call to a friend of his who works...

i will have to try someone i have no choice. is there anyway of getting in the boot though? its a salloon without folding rear seats :(

ironicly it has full MBSH untill the current one ewhich is overdue. sometimes living in Asford Middlesex would be far easier, i've unlocked the boot with the key but there is no buttons or handles to open it with i'm a bit stuffed

I have a big merc dealer / garage close by but i cant get the car anywhere at all My next step was to call out an auto electrition but if the rear SAM has failed i'll need access to the boot which i dont have what does SAM stand for?

I've done a search but cant find anything related to my problem, Basicly my W203 C220 is doing nothing at all, i got in the car yesterday morning and it started fine but the dash wasnt working, no speedo, clocks indicators or anything button related. The stereo was on but was very dim and the...

i had AMG style 2 fitted on my passat, it looked awesome. i think the coupe wheels somehow look bigger

thanks for the ebay link, i bought the head unit brand new so its never been tampered with i've never seen a Blaupunkt - ISO loom though, sourcing one of these would make things far easier

The calculator doesnt seem to want to open for me at the moment, i'll try again later. has anyone seen these rims fitted to a W203 before? front one looked awesome on the trial fit its these by the way http://www.pvv.org/~syljua/merc/w140Blinker.jpg

i've had a few Blaupunkts now and i've never had one with a ISO harness, that said all the others have gone into VW and have been a simple factory plug direct into the head unit. The Blaupunkt i have was supplied with the speaker block plug and the power/earth/etc plug but with loose ends not...

i've had a good look at the chart but it doesnt help much with this Q. i've got myself some 18x8.5 W140 coupe rims for my 2001 C-class, these are a ET47 and dont actually turn on the front but im not sure how far i need to space them out. the face of the rim is nicely inline with the body...

cheers Alex that looks about right, hopefully will be able to work it out from there. Shorty, no Blaupunkt dont make them weirdly, idealy would like to keep the steering wheel buttons though, i thought it might be easier to buy a Merc - ISO adapter and then wire the Blaupunkt one to that...

I am currently in the process of removing my becker and replacing with a Blaupunkt bluetooth unit which i got at a bargain price Only problem is, Blaupunkt dont use ISO connectors so you have to wire them up yourself the old fashioned way can anyone point me in the direction of a wiring...

I paid £3400 for a silver 2001 C220 CDI on January the 1st with 76k on the clock and the same interior as this one (although manual) may help you as a guide

unbelievably i have just picked up a chrome aftermarket large star grille for a W203 from a small ad in my local paper for £20!
