Hi, just wondering if anyone has any ideas on this fault. It was all very straight forward job - just one single plug in connector. I hope to see car this evening. Would appreciate any advice as to what could cause it.

Fitted one of these yesterday as original was broken at hinge but all was working perfect electrically. I tested new one and it was adjusting no problem up down, left right. Customer called this morning to say when you adjust left it goes all the way out and wont stop in the position you want...

Should have done a proper search first - I see there is good info in the sticky section so I will go through that in more detail and hopefully will be able to do job after that

Found a small pool of gearbox oil under car - had a look and appears to be coming from fitting where electrical connections enter box. There is a nylon fitting in box which you twist and this ejects the cable connector which has an O-ring on it. Cant determine if leak is between nylon ring and...

Thats super, thanks a lot.

Have had a problem with movement in rear of car most notable when changing lanes - you get this sideways wobble. Had a good look today and the rear subframe front end bushes are soft and easily move up and down with slight leverage. Could this be the cause of the problem. Couldn't see anything...

Just some feedback that may be useful to others: Oil 5w40 Fully Synthetic - 5.5litres, no dip stick need your own and electronics also give you feedback on dashboard - Ex: Add another 1/2 litre or siphon off 1/2 litre etc. Rear Brakes are pads but handbrake is adjusted using screwdriver via a...

Just found out that car is C180 sport coupe - any help with service interval reset would be much appreciated. I have a universal code reader cable (round type plug - I think something like 39 pins but stand corrected) that connects to the E class w210 engine but not sure if it is compatible with...

Sorry guys, I just dont have the AD for 2006 - mine only goes up to 2005. I was just wondering if it was 0w30 or 5w30 - it wasnt quantity I needed !! I haven't seen this car yet but I think it is the one that you have to reset service indicator using the steering wheel controls so I was hoping...

Can anyone help with these queries? Thanks MFK

Just wondering if anyone knows what is the procedure for resetting service light Also what is correct oil for these? Due to service one at weekend - anything unusual to look out for? Thanks MFK

thanks for all the replies - will have a closer look and let you know

That is exactly it - it is lateral movement. I will check these arms more closely. Wheel bearings seem fine as well - no rocking or noises. How is best to check them with wheels hanging or on the ground

Any particular bushes you have in mind - I couldnt see anything obvious? Anti Roll bar looked ok but some wear but not that I would feel like need to replace

When changing lanes in the above car there is a shifting feeling at the back - no clunking or unusual sounds but a definite sideways wobble that goes once car back on straight line. Drives perfect otherwise. No problem evident turning corners. Doesnt appear to be speed related either. Any ideas...

Fixed Just to update you - it was just the key that needed replacing. EIS was fine. I got off lucky I think:) Cheers MFK

Car was driving pefectly well, was parked up for about 6 hours, when I returned to it the key fob opened all doors, but when inserted in ignition, it would not register, could not turn key so could not release steering lock or attempt to start car. Had to get towed. What is likely to be fault -...

This is the fan that has failed. Any idea where I can get one - Main Dealer wants €180:eek: . No luck at scrap yards so far. It just screws onto side of the ECU box at the bottom. Part No. 2105450595 PA66-GF20-GB10 is written on the casing of it. It also says TYP RV40-18/12GU-013 13.2V...

Had a problem that ESP, BAS,ABS lights came on and car was stuck in one gear. When I stopped I put into PARK but then I could not engage gear except using the pencil to manually do it. Turned engine off and it would not start again - would not even turn engine over. Was told by a Merc specialist...

No idea how it melted. It started off that the CD player did not recognise the cassette magazine. I tried to take it out but it wouldnt eject so I then stripped out unit and found the cable connector melted:crazy: Thanks MFK
