    Hi BlackC55 not sure if that was meant for me or the OP. I still get the coolant visit workshop message. I've checked the fuse 51, the plug and cable going into the fan control unit at the bottom of the radiator, I've checked the resistance on the coolant temperature sensor to make sure it...

    Global Warming

    Interesting point there Mr E but how much does it all stand scrutiny bearing in mind the Climategate emails from the CRU which plays a very important role in the IPCC. There appears (and i use that word carefully!) to have been systematic alteration or hiding (lets be kind and say being...

    Advice please on Network Backup and Storage Home Office

    I have previously been using a Netgear SC101 network storage for backup but want to replace it because it is so unreliable. My requirement is just to automatically back up from my Desktop and laptop in a home office network across a 10/100 network. I have looked at the Netgear ReadyNAS Duo and...

    This post is to help people who may be having problems with factory fitted xenon lights and is based on my experience – hopefully it will help you sort it out quickly and painlessly! Although this is based on my 2005 55plate CLK (W209) some of it will be applicable to other models. Before I...

    Replacing the bulb on factory fitted Xenon?

    Thanks for that - I have spotted a ballast for £29.99 on line - after all the original MB part has only lasted three and a half years since new so probably not worth paying whatever they want for the part. As regards brightness these are the first Xenon lights i have ever had and they seem...

    Replacing the bulb on factory fitted Xenon?

    Following previous posts about one of my factory fitted xenon headlights randomly going on and off when the lights were on, I identified it was a bulb problem by swapping over the bulbs - the problem following the bulb.
