Gbrowncls55 I also have a MB scan tool that should pick up any faults recorded in the car, that might help pin point the source of the problem. Even if the problem is intermittent old faults will be stored in the memory to be read. I'm based near the A13 flyover.

Have you checked the carpets under the passenger seat. For me it felt dry on the outside, but only after lifting up completely to see the foam did I notice the water. Hope that helps!

I'd say check the batteries, especially the auxillary one. My ABS light used to flash when starting the car after a few days sitting (low aux battery). I bought a brand new battery for aux and the light no longer flashes after the car sits for a few days. If you're batteries are more than 4-5...

Hi just a quick update on this. So it turns out I was infact using the dipstick in the wrong hole. The hole for the transmission oil dipstick is infact just under and behind the engine cover, it is lower than the engine dip stick. The cover of the engine dipstick will be black with a flat top...

I followed the line with the black cap and red tab, that went to the gearbox, the other I guess goes to the engine! So looks like I put 5L of ATF into the engine sump! What a **** a feel like. I am now completely draining the engine oil (it was due an oil change anyway). I checked the level of...

Holy crap, I'm not sure if I am going crazy, but is the pipe in the picture the pipe that goes to the engine????? and not the transmission?!! And the transmission infact is the 2nd pipe with the black lid and red tab underneath?!!!

Yes, I have a lot of the tool hanging out of mine, but want to know the what length of dipstick is inside the car from bottom of dipstick to top of spout. Mark, I think your car has the same engine as mine how much dipstick is in the engine with yours?

Yes, I have some of the bendy stuff sticking out, but it feels like I have pushed past the stop, it may just be bends in the pipe but I'm not 100% sure. So I would like to work out how much of the dipstick is in the tube, so I know I haven't pushed it too far. I hope this makes sense guys!

The search isn't working so have added this, sorry if this question has been answered. I have the 722.6 dipstick (similar to this: Mercedes Gearbox Automatic Transmission Dipstick Tool 722.6 140589152100 1200mm | eBay) and I want to ensure I have the right amount of oil in the gearbox...

I learnt this now that I test car engines. Modern cars should be started and driven straight away, this so that you can get the engine quickly into the operating temperature range. The best way to do this is to gently drive the car, so that means keeping the revs between 2000 - 3000 and to...

I'm still struggling to get this off. Have the new radiator in place, but still can't get this bloody thing off! Here are a couple pictures of the condensor side. Maybe there is some kind of tool with a screw thread I could use to get it apart slowly?

You need a UHI connector, if you post a picture I can tell if it is or not. Or maybe PM your VIN number it might show in the software too.

This sounds scray, anyone want to come and do it for me? :)

I am a bit worried about using force, if there's a possibility of gas in the system. Is there a way to release it properly?

It's probably not very clear, but have undone the bolt, but its still not coming apart. Re-looking at the photo, maybe I need to put screw something down the thread in the middle to pull it part? Let's assume that the gas came out in the accident, but I need to be on the safe side. I have no...

Ah yes, I do follow Tavarish on youtube, pretty good channel, he really seems to know a lot about cars. The ABC removal looks like an absolute nightmare, I mean he had to literally cut through the ABC lines! I think I'm fairly sure I'd never buy a car with ABC now.

Thing about the pano roof, is that all that glass/gloss black contrasting the colour of the car looks pretty nice!

Yea, exactly, I like the unbalanced nature of V8 over the refined V10, V12 engines...

Hi all, Hopefully this is a quick one. My condensor is damaged and needs replacing. I have undone the nut on the part in the picture, but nothing seems to be coming apart. Is there a way I can safely pull them apart or remove them? I hear the refrigerant in there isn't something you want to...

In my opinion V8 would be better than the V12. Maybe more performance and all that from V12, but the V8 will sound so much better than the V12. I wish there was someone converting all ABC suspension to a more suitable alternative, it would make these cars more desirable!
