    2007 115 Vito Dualiner - indicator always on

    Hey all, my mates Vito 115 Dualiner has its left hand indicators always on, all three of them. The right hand indicator works as it should, as do the hazards (although the left hand indicator stays on solid). The left arrow on the dash flashes rapidly (like a dead bulb would cause) when you move...

    W204 Constant Bonnet Up Warning! Driving me mad! HELP!

    Yeah I've been looking for a switch of some description, but can't find one. I suspect it might be like my old P38 Range Rover and built into at least one, if not both bonnet latches. Sadly, I have no tools with me, so anything that has to be taken apart is a bit of a non starter :( I'm hoping...

    W204 Constant Bonnet Up Warning! Driving me mad! HELP!

    So, my car went in to MB a couple of weeks back, to have an intermittent fault fixed. Every now and again, always after having just started driving again, after being parked, my bonnet warning would go off. The car would start bonging incessantly for about 30 seconds each time, the dial display...

    Do you manually change gears with your auto transmission?

    I use them a lot less than I thought I would when I bought the car, but I do use it to pass slower traffic on A roads and if a road is particularly twisty, or lots of roundabouts, I use them to make sure I navigate the road at a decent speed and can use engine braking for roundabouts and bends...

    Trying to figure out my audio setup

    Really glad to hear this, sounds like you're really happy with the audio now and for £175, that's a pretty good price for sorting out the audio. Congratulations :)

    Why is it ?

    No mate, that's '****', different guy entirely. Edit: Haha, since it's obscured the 4 letter word, I'll let you all decide what was originally there. It wasn't actually a rude one tbh, but the forum thinks it is :)

    Why is it ?

    Both the car thing and the mobile phone thing, are commonly known as 'Sods law'

    Wheel size v Road Tax

    Nice thought, but I'm guessing they wouldn't offer that ability. Plus, an MOT CO2 reading is at just above idle, without taking weight, friction, load etc. into account, it's just a base reading and useless in this instance.

    Wheel size v Road Tax

    Not sure this can really be an ethical way to tax vehicles, as Tyres can have just as much part to play in fuel consumption and therefore emissions as well. If the DVLA tax system is about to ask you more than your reg number, I think lots of people will be cheating once they figure it out.

    What the Heck......

    Yeah that's kinda my thoughts on it, the side and rear of the car, just don't match the front, they're too much like the original car, with the front being entirely different.

    C220 CDi Or C250 CDI - Advice please

    I would have thought that would make any differences between them, far more pronounced to be honest. Although I guess that depends if you drove the 220 first, or second.

    New 220 owner

    Very nice, picked mine up a few weeks ago and been very happy with it. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine :) What's the spec?

    What the Heck......

    Not to my taste at all, but the work done to it is obviously high quality and if it's a kit you can buy (I assume it is as people say they've seen others and someone even produced a pic of a silver one) then at least a small group of people must like it. I'm a little biased, as I am in the...

    Wheel size v Road Tax

    Sounds very odd to me. Would have to be a miniscule difference in emissions due to larger rolling mass etc. I find it very odd that such a variable could legitimately push emissions over the threshold though, unless with the smaller wheels, it is literally a point away from the threshold. I...

    C220 CDi Or C250 CDI - Advice please

    Gotta say, I've got a W204 220 and get next to no road noise at all, other than on particularly noisy surfaces, nor do I find it a hard ride at all, mine is silky and very comfortable. That said, my car appears to be running ordinary tyres, as opposed to run-flats. I also have the 7G-DCT auto...

    Showroom model that went back and forth from the showroom to somewhere else maybe?

    Hello from a new member

    Ask the dealer to find one with the tow bar already fitted? I would assume there will be one at a MB dealership, somewhere in the country that already has it fitted, they'll probably be more than happy to arrange for it to come to your local dealership :)

    What's the coffee cup in my dash display for?

    LOL mine doesn't nag when in the car, especially on long journeys, she tends to go to sleep, which is a bugger, because normally we only travel together if attending a car show, which means early morning and late night driving, usually when already knackered hehe. The Merc is my daily, so I...

    What's the coffee cup in my dash display for?

    Thanks for that, very useful to know. I assume this probably was the beep I heard the other day in this case, nice to know it's there. Thanks folks.
