    W204 instrument cluster gauge problem

    Hi, My friend was trying to change glass on his instrument cluster and when taking it out has managed to drop and damage the outer back casing. After managing to source a roughly similar cluster just so he could swap the plastic and putting it all back together he has a big problem. When the...

    c200 gearbox

    Who/where checked and topped up the oil level? Sounds like you either have a bad leak, oil not topped up correctly, or faulty/blocked valve body.

    noise

    You say the pads are new, but what are the discs like? Are they worn and have a large lip around the edge?

    mirrors

    You have to set the mirror dip position to where you want it to be when reversing, I can't remember how off the top of my head but it will be in your owner manual. The mirrors don't fold in when the engine is switched off either, will only be when you lock the car.

    Retro fitted heated seats W211

    What year is the car? Just asking as someone mentioned about using the OEM heated seats control unit and I wasn't sure if that is what you're doing. Just to make you aware there was a changeover and the heated seats will either be controlled by the HS control unit, or the passenger side SAM...

    W209 Rear Seat Removal

    Two ways you can do this, one is removing the seat as you mention. I think there are 4 metal brackets of the seat which are bolted to the seat floor with 13mm nuts. If you look just under the seat cushion you should see 4 plastic covers, prise these off to uncover the brackets. The other way...

    My glovebox is stuck closed (W220)

    The cable needs adjusting, you should be able to take the panel off at the side of the glovebox. Shine a light in there and you should see a white plastic gear. I can't say off hand which way to turn it but turn it with a screwdriver a bit either way until the handle will open the lid. Hope this...

    320SLK top end rattle on start up

    This is normal, you'll find this on most if not every car. What happens is when the car is left, the oil drains back into the sump so there is very little oil left in the head/top end when you start the engine. So when you start it, and the oil pump runs, it pumps the oil to the top end and...

    A140 Alarm Fuse

    Going by what you've said in your other post in the engine forum, I would say you have a faulty DAS module which controls alarm, radio central locking etc. I don't believe the alarm has a seperate fuse. You need to take it to a dealer or put it on a STAR machine.

    Engine lost power and steering locked during turn

    I have worked on a ML before with the exact same symptoms you are describing and it was a very simple solution. This may or may not help, but do you have lots of keys/objects on your keyring? I ask this because the I had the car do the same thing, when the steering wheel turned it managed to...
