    Breaking C280 Sport Estate

    Hi, the car is mostly complete at the minute. The AMG wheelarch spats, passenger side headlamp wiper and climate control unit have been sold. The windscreen wiper motor was replaced with an aftermarket one 6 months before the car was taken off the road. I also have an OE one taken from another...

    W202 Climate Control Question

    Hello, I am breaking my C280 and someone is looking to buy the electronic climate control unit. I tested it to make sure it is working but did not manage to get any air directed to the footwells. My question is, on a cold engine, and without the engine running is this normal? The car won't start...

    Major ATF leak from cooler pipe

    Hi, due to the cooler pipes rusting thru I think I lost most of the ATF in the gearbox (98 C280 722.6). I drove about 60 miles experiencing the usual symptoms, losing drive, flaring, not selecting any gear etc. I topped up the levels but noticed a burnt smell coming from the filler pipe. Have I...

    Winter Tyres with Steel Wheels

    I was on tyres online @ mytyres.co.uk: cheap passenger, summer, winter tyres and tyre dealer when I noticed that they sell steel wheels with winter tyres fitted. Prices were reasonable from £100ish. However, they list 15 inch wheels as being suitable for a C280, which I believe are not big...

    Intermittent Electrical Problem - S reg C280

    Hi When I was driving to work this morning, I lost power to the electric windows, sunroof, wipers and indicators. Given that it is intermittent I assume that it's not a blown fuse. I found the thread below and I'm fairly confident that it's the same problem (N10 relay). Does anyone know if it...

    What to do in Surrey on Sunday

    Hello, myself and the missus are going to be visiting MB World on Saturday. We're staying in Ripley on Saturday night and have all day Sunday free to do a bit of sightseeing. Can anyone suggest where to visit and what to avoid? We've both been to London loads of times so don't want to venture...

    ATF levels 722.6

    Hi, does anyone know why there is a level for cold ATF (10-20mm) and a level for hot ATF (54-64mm)? Does the ATF expand when it gets heated or is there another explanation? The reason I ask is that I drained my gearbox and torque converter when they were hot. I measured the amount of hot oil...

    Facelift W202 Handbooks

    Hi, does anyone know what the going rate is for a set of manuals? I'm bidding on a set on ebay at the minute but keep getting outbid. If anyone has a set for sale and an Audio 30 manual, please let me know. Cheers.

    Electric Aerial Not retracting

    Hi The electric aerial on my E320 coupe is not retracting. What is the best way of verifying that the problem is in the aerial rather than at the head unit? I can hear a faint click from the aerial when the head unit is switched off which I assume is a relay. Cheers.

    C180 Estate - opinions

    Hi, spotted this 97 Elegance for sale locally. I'm thinking of buying it as a runaround. It's got 170K miles on the clock, drives well and has a fsh. There's a bit of rust around one of the wheelarches and on the tailgate but otherwise the body is good. It seems to have been well maintained and...

    Hi-Fi Problem

    Hi, I thought I would ask around here since there is a lot of hi-fi/electronics expertise. I've got a Primare A20 amp which seems to be switching itself off and on repeatedly. It sounds like a relay is opening and closing and whenever it is open, no sound comes out of the speakers. I have had...
