Yes it charges the iPod. Not sure how to do a reset, never heard of that one. I have even tried MP3s on a stick. Tracks with album pic ok but the tracks seem to get out of order if there are over 10. seems like it can't recognise multiple tracks and keep their order and track number. I have...

I have bought the adapter, but does not work on a 64gb 6th gen iPod touch. It is the genuine apple adapter as well. May have to buy a different iPod. I have the 16gb iPod touch 1st gen in the car and its perfect. Just not enough storage for what I am wanting.

Hi I have a iPod touch 1st generation that works perfectly with the interface cable in the glove box. This has the 30 pin apple connection. I have recently bought a 6th generation iPod touch that has the lightening connection. Has anyone managed to get this iPod type (lightening connection) to...

Well if I can help in anyway I will. A detailed instruction as to what I did is going to be added to this post but not sure when. I personally would not recommend doing this. I would go to a good independent merc specialist. There are a few on these forums. In my situation the money was really...

Job all done. Car runs perfect. Just typed out the full details of what I did and it logged me out because I took two long I presume. Not typing that out again. Any questions feel free to ask.

I am doing thee job this weekend. Although its the intake cam adjuster, I will change the exhaust cam adjuster as well as chain and chain tensioner. Might I just add that I have now got the new cam adjusters and although they look ok they don't look as good as the original ones on the car. I...

Here is an update of what I did and found at the weekend with the car. My brother and I took off the rocker cover off and had a look at the chain and sprockets. I have attached a picture. No wear on the teeth at all. Notice I have the latest version of Chain from factory. So we set the crank...

Too late to edit the spelling. I meant to put Helix :doh:

Oops missed the Hellex out. Yes I use Shell Hellex Ultra 5W40

My wifes car is suffering the dreaded rattle at start up, and yes I would agree that MB do in fact use the cheapest oil they can buy in bulk for the whole dealerships. They don't use Mobil 1 all the time, I have had conversations with parts people and they will gladly tell you they buy bulk...

Oh I see. So to be safe I will replace them for sure. Thanks for the info. I will send you my email as I asked on a older post to see the pictures you took.

When you say timing gear, do you mean sprockets on the end of the cams or the gears under the covers attached to the sprockets. If you do mean the gears under the covers, can I inspect them for wear and what should I be looking for?. With all this info and input from you guys, the conclusion is...

I know what you mean about trading it in. Its my wifes car and it did cross my mind. We really like the car though so for what it is going to cost in parts I think it is worth keeping. I am doing the work myself with the help of my brother who is also really clued up on mechanics. The cam gears...

This is my new chain. As you can see its a bit different to the normal chain.

Just had a look at your link. That's not what my chain looks like. My car is a turbo engine and not the Kompressor like the kit in your link.
