The school where I help out has three working thinkpad 600 laptops they have asked me to sell. All work fine with good screens, additional memory and CD drives. All have chargers and mains leads. Some of the keyboard letters are worn. One of the batteries is accepting a charge but the others are...

The instructions for removing/replacing the polybelt suggests holding off the tensioner with a 5mm pin or drill but I cannot see a hole. Access to get a good look is not easy. I would be grateful for a clue where to look! Thanks (R129 SL500)

I am having a problem using the dash diagnostic button. I turn on by holding in the tiny button on the clock setting knob for 5 secs and I get two little symbols in the display but if I pull out the knob to step the function it alters the clock and reverts to the normal display. Any suggestions...

My wife has a 205GTI, both front wheels needed new tyres but my tyre dealer pointed out that one wheel had a "dent" on the inside and the other wheel was in poor condition with the finish flaking off. He recommended I go to "Wheel Works" in Crawley (RH10 9NX). I received friendly service on the...

With some time to spare over the hols I was browsing various mercedes forums and came across a posting about the need to replace the oil in the ADS system following failure of the spheres. The claim was that the nitrogen from the faulty sphere would be disolved in the oil and allow the fluid to...

Some weeks ago I replaced all the spheres and the system was working fine. Now the system is taking ages to rise when the button is pressed one or two steps. The car needs to be run above 2000RPM to get it to go up. Yesterday when I got home the suspension was right down and the oil was pumped...

I have never owned a soft top and with the winter approaching I was thinking about putting on the hard top soon. Any advice about treating the fabric or plastic? When I got the SL (r129) the windows had to be replaced as they had cracked along the fold - would a length of soft rolled up carpet...

When I purchased my SL (1999) it came with the red touch key for the alarm (immobiliser override?) but no black keys. I was please to discover the black programmable keys are still available from :- Scorpion Remote Controls Bit pricey at £24.32 inc P&P but better safe than sorry!

This is the first time I have owned a car with adaptive damping suspension and it took a couple of days to appreciate the suspension was not working as it should. All the buttons worked - the height would adjust, it was level but was very soft and seemed to bounce, like a boat going over a small...

I want to add Sat Nav to my SL500 R129 but would like to avoid running wiring from the front to back. There are lots of adverts for single DIN Becker Traffic Pro and Becker Indianapolis units and the connections look similar to the Audio 30 (i do not have the Bose system). Could anyone confirm...

I am trying to remove the rear seat cushion on a 1999 SL500. I have pushed and pulled the red tab and lifted and pushed the seat but it will not move. Any tips would be appreciated!

My alarm has started to play up again and this morning where was a web between the dash and the front seat. Last year I was lucky and caught the so and so building a web between the sensor and the head rest! I have provided a large garage for them to live in - all I ask is for them to leave my...

Hi My CLK55AMG W208 is going into limp mode if I exceed 3000 revs under load. Gives you a fright if you are overtaking at the time! When I got home I rushed to check the gearbox oil and the level was correct and the oil looked fine (changed about 10K ago). Carsoft reports 0150 O2 probe left...

For two weeks the alarm has been going off in the evening driving me mad. Today I got out the laptop and it reported triggers from left and right internal sersors. I was sitting in the car contemplating what do do next and this great big long leg spider comes out from behind the rear grab handle...

I thought I would clean out the ashtray and rather than turn on the ign to put the gearbox in D to make room to remove the ashtray I pushed a pencil in the hole to release the shift lever. When I removed the pencil the little spring loaded flap did not return and has disappeared inside...

I need to remove the control to look at a broken AUTO switch. Is the removal tool the same as the pair I have for my Comand? Thanks

If you are running or installing EWAnet do not allow JAVA to update to version 1.6. I found I could not run ASTRA from the server and after a lot of time I found it necessary to remove all the JAVA runtime versions, reboot and install the version on the DVD. Then turn updates off on the JAVA...

Came home last week suffering from the cold that is doing the rounds, put the car in the garage and hibernated for two days. When I opened the garage the alarm was making groaning noises and the remote would not unlock the door. The metal key opened the drivers door and found I had left the...
