    C180 with a dead battery

    Under the bonnet then like the live feed on the starter solenoid. Even though the car is electrically dead, when you turn the ignition switch to position one it is a mechanical connection that would simply switch any current from the cigar lighter to the battery

    C180 with a dead battery

    Barrel may have been changed at some time as my C180 key fits all locks. Suggest charging through the cigarette lighter with the key in position one (before ignition position), or any other always live connection under the bonnet. As the trickle charge is minimal no overload will occur but make...

    Build quality in 2010 ML

    I drive a 14 year old C180 and the build quality of the interior is superb. I wonder what the new Mercs will be like in 14 years.

    Wasn't life better when Women knew their station in life ;-)

    I know the moaning has become louder since the 60's.

    C180 Rear View Mirror

    I know I'm showing my age but I had a mk 10 Jaguar (the fat one) back in the 60's and I still have the workshop manual. With the information inside you could build the car let alone repair it.......quantity not quality and made to a ever decreasing budget is the order of the day now unfortunately.

    C180 Rear View Mirror

    Hi There I have to change the rear view mirror in my 1996 C180 as the red led has gone and is affecting the alarm. I have purchased one from ebay and was wondering if anyone knew how to remove the old one. Thanks in advance.

    Car Insurance..why?!

    Insurance Companies When you insure your car you are gambling as you are saying to your insurance company here is £200, I bet you I will prang my car this year. The insurance company says I'll accept your bet as I think you wont. Six guesses who normally wins the bet. Pity it's compulsory.

    What would you do with this?

    I mean't you should leave your car and use your camera phone not stay in your car and move. I should have been more clear sorry.

    What would you do with this?

    Result! Switch your mobile phone to video facility and film the number plate of the offending vehicle then move up the vehicle to her on the phone, smile and pass it to the police.:thumb:

    Debadging

    I maybe wrong but would debadging invalidate insurance or at least give them an opt out clause. I know if you change anything on your car from standard you must let your car insurers know. Just a thought:dk:

    Mercedes Benz Customer Services

    Royal Mail Never trust the Royal Mail for anything important unless you send using 'Royal Mail Special Delivery' (at a price). Your letter is then separated and goes through a different system as it is guaranteed delivery next day and HAS to be signed for.

    Copyright

    Went to Paris many years ago and was not impressed with the Mona Lisa, though many other painting were more impressive. Was more impressed outside the museum as the 'Rue de Revolle' was closed off as they were filming a scene for the the first 'Bourne Identity' movies with Matt Damon.

    Which out the two?

    Must be a weakeness in the tuner. I just change channels briefly for it to reset.

    HM R&C are a flamin' shower...

    Onwards and downwards Agreed....Lot of the problem is like many other businesses (as HMRC now like to call it) they have managers on the shop floor that are quite capable as they have been brought up through the ranks. Unfortunately they have to justify and seek approval from senior management...

    HM R&C are a flamin' shower...

    Taxing times Tax could be simplified but that would do away for the need of accountants or agents. Do away with 'Reduced Age Allowance' would remove 50% of over 65 pensioners from Self Assessment for a start and the administration saving at HMRC alone would more than compensate for loss of...
