My wife’s Fiat 500 needed degassing after 10 months so asked for a test ATS said all fine but said LP filler cap was missing for some reason. Degassed and all fine. They did not have a cap to cover the port so I searched the web for one. I zip tied a finger of a rubber glove over the port...

What an awesome project. I needed to do the centre console of my S205 when it was new. 8 years on no noise just by using self adhesive cable felt. I had a horrid rattle from passenger B pillar. That the dealers could not fix as they would not accept my word that it was the seatbelt reel...

Last week I cleaned and machine polished my daughter’s 2015 Smart for two. The tridion ( metal safety cell) has micro blistering on the red paint. paint. The red looks to be the same as Fire Opel Red that I had on a 2015 E Class Coupe. The Smart has white plastic panels so the paint problem Is...

I expect to get at least 22K from mine based on the last 3 sets. Car came with 19”run flat Contis from the factory then replaced at 23k 24k for the same with over 2mm tread left at the lowest point. Now changed to Goodyear F1 , these are less noisy and seem To work well but with only 2K use...

Hope you get all three sorted. At 12K you get a lot of car and unlike brand new will not take a big hit on the price. Dealers workshops don’t always fully check things as they should and do miss items many moons ago my wife took her one year old Clio in for a service and on collection she was...

I had a problem with the driver for window buttons not working. I had let my drivers window down to use a ticket machine at a car park. The window went down but refused to go up and in the rain this was not funny. After driving as while and getting wet I remembered the “tunnel airflow” setting...

The screen wash pump often gets its intake filter blocked with gunk. The one pump on the estate serves both front and rear screens. If both screens have a poor flow it’s likely to be the intake filter to the pump that needs cleaning. There is some evidence that mixing different brands of screen...

My local Esso garage has an Adblue pump on the forecourt. You just fill up as you would with fuel. The Adblue is a lot cheaper as no plastic bottle to pay for and it’s stored underground so dark and cool. Purchasing from the pump means you can dona complete fill and not have a part bottle...

The Mercedes branded blades have a black dot that goes yellow when the blades are worn and need replacing. The change in colour is due to sunlight and is an away of detecting the rubber hardening due to uv. I replaced my wipers last January and was mot amazed that the dots had gone yellow by...

My 2916 250d with the diesel software update and fuelled using Esso Supreme had the same problem last year. Topped up the Adblue and the level reading on the dash did not move. Fearing trouble I added a bottle of Forte Adblue conditioner hoping it would recrystallise any build up on the tank...

I hope the respray goes well. Please let the Forum know how you get on. It’s always useful to learn from others when trying to do repairs. Good luck, leats hope the wind and humidity do not hamper your efforts.

I have the same problem. The clear coat is coming away from the plastic panel. A big problem in the USA but one that MB are paying to rectify. It’s a major job as the plastic roof panel has to be cut off and the special mastic that holds it in place cut away. Refitting a new panel involves using...

Glad you got it sorted. It’s really great when OP with a problem reports back to the forum when a problem is resolved.

Sorry completely missed your posting. The repair was 4 months out of the manufacturers warranty. I did not take out the extended MB warranty as it was expensive for what it covers, lot of electrical stuff is exempt from cover. Instead of the warranty I put £50 a month away. The car is now 7.5...

Welcome, I hope you find information shared on the forum useful. Your suggestion that members report back when they find a solution is a very sensible one. Information shared about repairs etc keeps us all going in the correct way. Nothing worse than a thread about a problem with several...

I have the same problem with my 2016 car which lives on the drive. NE England has many mor grey days than sunny ones. From Close inspection it looks like the clear coat is coming away. I suspect the panel between the windscreen and moveable glass and along the sides between the glass and roof...

Never mind lost shops can anyone give me a heads up as to who stocks “Donkey Stone” as our front step needs it.

Hi, new seatbelt fitted seven and a half years ago and all good since.

330 KPa is about 36PSI or roughly 3.3 Bar. A tyre inflate to 10X it’s normal pressure would be interesting to use if it had not already exploded.

If you read PSI as KPa it makes complete sense. My car dash readout is in KPa as it the label on the filler flap. It’s easy to type the wrong unit as for years we have talked of tyre pressure in PSI. A couple of weeks ago I went to inflate my tyres to the full load setting, the rears are 250KPa...
